You can see the heart shape which is the symbol of love as we all know in the picture above. But what was the subject I used to shoot this? Read on to find out. 6 comments I just won the Singapore Best Photography Blog Award 2010. My humble and sincere thanks to the judges and to all who have voted and rallied for me in the Best Photography Blog category of Singapore Blog Awards 2010. To OMY, thank you for providing the platform for all of us to share, learn and meet. Hope to see you all again next year. To all the winners of other categories, Congratulations and I wish you all great success. Keep blogging. And of course, thank you to all the sponsors for the prizes too. Unfortunately, I have to miss the Hong Kong trip prize and have to give this to the second place winner, as I have a prior commitment to shoot my friend’s wedding on the 24th of July. I wish all the winners an enjoyable and safe trip. Please shoot for me and share the photos when you are back. After the award ceremony, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Tan Swie Hian, an accomplished and famous Singapore’s Cultural Medallion artist. He designed this beautiful trophy for the winners. It’s made of bronze and what a beautiful piece of art! I love it. Mr. Tan shared that in this new age of internet media, one should not forget the basic supporting values we all have to adhere to. And that’s what the three different shapes of legs of the trophy means. To those who have asked about the trophy, here it is. You must hold it to appreciate it even more. Solid and nicely balanced.
And here is a photo of me with Mr. Tan Swie Hian after the award ceremony.
And oh, before I forget, to all the kind souls who took photos of me during the award ceremony, I would appreciate it if you could send me some of the photos. I would love to keep them. Thank You. 26 comments They said, when you take away all the colors in a photograph and leave only the shades of gray, black to white, you see nothing but the soul of the photograph and you see nothing but the emotion captured in it. Can you see it in this photograph? VIEW THE FULL BLOG ENTRY / VIEW MORE PHOTOS » 3 comments I got a request to shoot family portraits and the family’s activities inside a bookstore last week. We spent about half an hour inside the bookstore (thanks Borders for the approval), having fun shooting without disrupting the traffic flow there. See the photos and other photos I took of this family here on my other website : masakecil.com . no comments
All photos here were shot hand held and wide open at f/2.8 using my macro lens with image stabilizer and natural light coming in from the window. All were taken in a high key mode and f/2.8 was used as I wanted to only emphasize certain part of the flower. Have a great week ahead everyone.

Today, 30 June 2010 is the last day for the public voting for Singapore Blog Awards 2010. I would like to thank everyone who have voted for me for the Best Photography Blog category. A BIG THANK YOU to you all. I know some of you have also voted for me EVERYDAY and some of you have made the extra effort to rally for me, which I am extremely grateful for. Some of you were and are still total strangers to me, but your effort to go the extra mile to rally and vote for me is very heartwarming. To those who have been coming back to read my blog and/or to leave your comments, I thank you too as you have given me stronger motivation to shoot, to blog and to share more.

It could be many things definitely and different families may have different things that they treasure the most. But have you thought about photographs as one of the most treasured family possessions too? I am sure many of you will say yes, but there could also be many who take it for granted. Will you cry when your $20K watch is stolen? Sure you will, it’s a lot of money. But you may be able to buy the same one again. What about photograph? Have you cried before when your hard disk crashed and you lost 2 year worth of photographs including those taken during one of your most memorable vacations or those taken at your daughter’s first birthday party, your boy’s baptism ceremony, your daughter’s first day at school and your parents’ 25th wedding anniversary?
