Sometimes a little break is all you need
I find it interesting how these people can work at such high altitude day in day out without sweating much. One mistake and it’s a long fall. I can never be calm under these circumstances.
Perhaps one way to keep your cool while you’re at the peak is to have a puff of smoke whenever possible and move on from there.
Garderner
A garderner sleeping on floor in a rest house at Bukit Jalil park. I didn’t hunt the sleeping pose purposely.
Girls in high school uniform - 5 days before the shooting day
A photo of Jorvy Tan - provided by him.
Update number 1:
Some changes on model list - 3 girls 1 guy now.
1. Jorvy Tan
2. Phoenix Loh
3. Cheryl
4. Chloe (Photos of her available in this blog. Just browse through the sidebar for her name.)
A guy in a photo session themed Girls in high school uniform? Well, I thought the guy can be a tool, to make present the female models better. The guy will be the side kick while the girls are the heroines.
Update number 2:
A little explanation on how the event will go.
15 photographers will be separated into 3 groups, and each group will have 1 model for 40 minutes, before switching with models from other group. Since there’s a guy model now, he’ll follow 1 of the 3 females (means each group will get to have male AND female models for 40 minutes). I’ll be picking the order for him, randomly.
I’m paying the models (with the registration fees) for 3 hours, so there’ll be plenty of time if everyone play by the rules.
I will sort the groups when I have registration fees from everyone. I will post the list here and in Lowyat.net Photography forum. Sorting will be random, if you have complains, do let me know as soon as possible, privately. I don’t want to make this outing an awkward one just because you have problem with something or someone.
That’s all for now.
Model shooting at Bukit Jalil organized by zzloo
myjunk and his DIY gears. We were finding the next good spot for photo shooting.
1. I was ignored most of the time because I’m a stranger to the group, and I assume it had something to do with me using Canon Powershot S2IS. I’m not mad. I suspect some purposely ignored me because I take photos as nice or better as theirs, and they are the one with the lenses and what not. I would like to see their facial expression when Beverly say my photos suck in front of them.
2. I think poison - a term they use to describe a situation where one’s decision to get more gears is induced by another photographer - is just an excuse to cover their laziness in learning better skills. Having better equipments don’t grant you better skills overnight, but they certainly make life easier.
3. I will not jump into the DSLR bandwagon anytime soon because there’s still a lot of things I haven’t learn. And because I can’t afford one now.
Okay, let’s proceed with photos. I will display only 1 or 2 photos of each models.

Things you can do when you’re bored
note: Thanks Alice for the reminding me of this. Some clarification: I’m not a police hater, or protest hater. Or any hater for that matter. I’m just trying to present what I saw. This post was not meant to condemn them in any way at all. Like Alice said in the comment column, they are human as well, and they do human things.
Question: Imagine yourself as a police officer. There’s an operation 3 hours later but you’re asked to be there now. What can you do, to make it less boring?
1. Send your lackey to buy food.
