After my morning session for the “Let’s Cross Together”, I decided to explore the park opposite my hotel at Le Lai,Ho Chi Minh City. I captured this image during the peak hour of the evening. As you could see the congestion of traffic, especially for the motor riders, is fantastic. Though it is just a street scene, I was fortunate to come across interesting subject warmth lit by the evening light. In order to enhance the visual impact of whole image further I used slower shutter speed deliberately.
“Watching The Traffic Go By” is a similar image of this busy city captured by Eng Loy in 2008.

What Will Be Will Be
The Garuda Indonesia has launched the International Photo Contest 2009 on 27th Feb. 2009. After my presentation at the launching of the GIIPC 2009, I had an opportunity of traveling to Puncak and Cibodas Botanical Garden.

I stayed in at the beautiful YASMIN Resort & Conference Hotel for one night. This is one of my favorite images that I captured at the Puncak roadside fruit stalls.

It was a Saturday night after the rain. Business of fruit stalls was really bad. I like the expression of the stall keeper. I would like to leave the interpretation of this image to you without elaborating further. This image was captured with my camera hand held. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Garuda Indonesia and all my friends who have made my visit possible.

A post-judging outing of the Garuda Indonesia International Photo Contest 2008 in Bali, gave me an opportunity of capturing this image at a religious ceremony. Candid photography is one my favorite branch of photography. Simply, what is happening in front the lens will just perish within a split of a second. Always, that is a decisive moment you have to capture. I am back in Jakarta at this moment for the Garuda Indonesia International Photo Contest 2009 event. I sincerely like to thank the organiser for inviting me again.
