So, come on, enjoy the photos that I’ve taken, and view these pictures through my own viewfinder…

Penang International Floral Festival Dec 2008

The Penang International Floral Festival was held on the month of December of 2008. Strange to me is that, in 1 year, there was 2 of them was held. I thought it was an annual thing but as I’ve posted before, there was a similar event during the middle of the year. But this time, the event was much bigger and was much publicized. As for the flowers, the varieties are there and the main attraction was the tram ride which unfortunately, I wasn’t able to ride on them due to the long queues! It was a hot day and there were lots of visitors but that does not stop me from taking pictures!

Need to warn you though… this post has a lot of pictures!

Just a small number of pictures for this posting. I took a walk around Campbell Street and then to the Khoo Kongsi and have taken a few pictures. This event was held right around Chinese New Year time, I forgot what was the precise date because it has been almost 7 months.

Below are the pictures taken in Khoo Kongsi…

Little Penang Street Market January 2009

This is the January edition. Didn’t take much photos because I was quite late when I arrived there… Enjoy the pics!

She’s a Jazz singer from Brazil. She’s got a powerful and sultry voice. I get the feeling of like erm, Brazilian party when she sang! Haha…

These kids were “kidnapped” by a friend photographer. They were all made up to stand on the blue backdrop and man, working with people, it’s hard, but working with kids, it’s even harder! But what I like about kids is that they have the purest of emotions. They were not made up. It’s straight out from the heart. If they are happy, it’s happy face, if it is sad, then they don’t want to have any pictures taken at all! Haha… These kids are just adorable…
