my photographer dream

photographs.
the other window in which i see how beautiful a moment can be.
a 0.125 second moment.
a moment of truth. raw emotions. naked facts.

my idea of being a freelance or more of a private interest to preserve these moments.
a simple idea of catching anything that is so brief yet so beautiful, so sorrowful, so simple, so lovely, so rare.
what inspired me to finally put this thought into words are the beautiful moments that i encounter so much this week.

an old couple holding hands making their way across the road.
a father holding onto his newborn in his lap in the bus, both sleeping
i group of old man playing chess while drinking beer.
an old granded smiling smoking his 'ang hoon' while looking at the grandson play at the void deck.
i really old ah ma at china town tending her son's stall by sitting quietly in a corner.

maybe someday i'll have my very own exhibition.
