Counting down to my Exhibition beginning on 21st August, I like to share with you another old monochrome image of mine. This was also another acceptance of the London Salon in 1964.
I remember I was at Lorong Tai Seng, a favourite place for Sunday photographic outing. I was fortunate to be at the scene. At that time, I only had one last frame left in my camera. After capturing this image, before I could load a new roll of film into my camera, such an arrangement changed within a split of a second. In those days, keeping the last frame for the decisive moment was my usual habit. The last frame was always captured the best image of the whole roll!

To gain an acceptance in the London Salon in the sixties was an achievement in photographic art. My record shows that this monochrome print was one of the 3 acceptances out of the 4 monochrome prints that I submitted in 1964 London Salon. After a lapse of 45 years, I still quite like the print. This is also one of the prints that I will exhibit in my coming “Painting With Light and Shadow-A 50 Year Chronicle”. You are welcome to visit the Exhibition.
