Asian Geographic: Festival edition

Okay I am way back on old posts – this should have been posted so long ago but anyway here it is. Two of my photo stories was published in Asian Geographic: Festival edition which hit magazine stands around May 2011. Yep that’s how long I take to post stories – sigh ;) Check my Facebook page for faster updates and more photos ;)

It was a great moment for me and two get two stories featured was seriously an amazing feeling ;) Seeing your name in print is just priceless. Two stories on Thaipusam and a temple Kumbhabhishegam were featured.

Here are the pages and the photos ;)

A journey

I bought my first own digital camera in 2006 just before Chinese New year that year. It was just a point and shoot camera but oh what a lovely camera the Canon Powershot a620 was. The timing had also been to coincide with the Thaipusam celebrations that year.

So I have been documenting the festival that has been part of my life since perhaps from a year old. A festival very much a part of me and one I don’t seem to tire off.

Every year I try to see the festival in a fresher approach and I think I have managed to showcase that.

This year once again I had the honour to take renowned photographer Joe Mcnally, his assistant Drew Gurian as well as photographers, Daniel Capobianco and Michael Greenberg. I also got to take and meet my fellow flickr photographer Dink from Germany. As you can imagine I’ve been super excited and so pumped up, i’m still writing this eventhough i’ve been awake since 2 in the morning!

Thanks to the lovely souls and friends who continue to keep me in mind when opportunity comes crashing on our front doors. Its been a second round of fun and awesome shooting ;)

Thaipusam 2010

Thaipusam is one of my favourite festivals and after I became a photographer, each year I challenge myself to take different photos of the festival.

As a friend wrote on my flickr page, it was only after he landed here smack during the festival did he realise how intense and hard it is to photograph Thaipusam.

For photographers it’s an absolutely stunning occasion to put your skills to test. Don’t give up just try somemore next year. For devotees and visitors its a stunning array of devotion and colours to the sound of the drums.
