The Best Portrait Award of the Kenosha International Salon, USA, held in 1984 was accorded to this image. Obviously, the composition, colour harmony, mood and expression of this portraiture have strong visual impact.

Lighted Suite
The Cockpit Hotel in Singapore was demolished not too long ago. This hotel once received the Queen of England when she visited Singapore many years ago. This image was captured during the twilight hours 30 years ago. I love the difference in colour balance (brought about by the different light sources) that gave the image an unusual touch of colour. I was also fortunate to find by luck, a lone lighted room with the curtains drawn open. This lighted room became the main attraction of the picture. This image won the Best Night Scene Award of the Kenosha International Salon,USA,held in 1985.
Bromo Village at Dawn
The early hours of the day are always regarded as the golden hours for mood photography. This landscape of a village near Mount Bromo, East Java is illustrative as an example. I captured my first impressions of the misty mood and atmosphere of a village near Mount Bromo in 1980. The smoke from the lit cigarette of the rider added interest to the whole image. This image won a Gold Medal at the 25th Maitland International Salon, Australia held in 1982..
