Eye Contact

when i went to bako when i was back in kuching, i went with this guy, dennis lau. i always knew he was a famous photographer.He has had alot of exhibitions locally as well as on the international stage.However, i've never seen any of his photos.just now while reading Jeff Ooi's Sceenshots, i came across this, a photo by him! a very well composed shot with good contrast(notice how 1 guy is fit,muscular,short while the other is moe slender and tall) and the expression on their face is priceless.eye contact is there as well. it goes to show that good photos don't die with age and to a certain extent camera's don't really matter. i think he was using a manual film nikon back then.

i would really attend this exhibition if i was around, check it out if u have time.

needless to say, i learned alot from him during my 2 days with him, not photography skills but photography itself. he's my inspiration and hopefully one day, just one day i might come close to being as good as him =P
