cameron [jan10]
hello, blog.
- hello, 2010.
10 days into january, at 5 in the morning, i found myself perched atop gunung brinchang, cloaked in a chill, greeting the dawn. with me were a gang of fellow weirdos, sharing what was probably our first epic scene of the year.
thanks are in order for hamyu, who discovered the place while lepakdriving on his own. i told u we were weird. manoeuvring the treacherous road in the inky fog, finding the comms tower at the peak, and the watchtower beside it, are now new images of cameron to me - cameron, that timeless highland retreat that calls to mind classic sights of tea, strawberries, flowers, cacti, strawberries, cacti, flowers, tea. i'll save u time. here's a little collage of textures.
to explain the metal bits - sm's brakes protested after the awesome sunrise, so off we went and found a quaint cottage garage to fix em. not one to waste time, ch whipped out his canggihfied camera and took probably another hundred portraits - which got me shooting too. a great teacher inspires, like they say. i don't take good portraits myself, so i tried using people differently. and on the whole i also tried more vertically-oriented shots.
and here's a picture of all of the fun bunch (disregarding the irrelevant uncle...)
