KL • 29

It was weekend, a very good weekend. A Nikon D300s was in hand. I know, it is a bit old to try out this so called superb semi-pro camera. I was a Canon user before converting to Nikon. Reason? No reason, just to try something new. So I went out early in the morning, walking around Kuala Lumpur at 8am in Central Market. Sad to know that Central Market is a no place for photographer to photograph pictures. I was wondering around with my camera, looking at people starting up their day. Open their shop and all of sudden a woman came to me ask if I have a permit to photograph around Central Market. I was shocked. Maybe because Its already too long since the last time I photograph here and I lost about whats going on around here. Then my mind re flash the word by our minister "promote our country" yea right. Promote. Keep up like this might as well you put the sign "no camera" to the country. As a photographer, I say go to hell. I just ignore it. I didn't violate anything or abuse anything. So why bother? My purpose of going out in KL early in the morning just to brush up my skills. Its been long since the last time I visit here and there is a lot of changes in a short time. Too many buildings being build, too many shops rise even from the alley and the corner of any space they could find. Beside brushing up, I'm testing this babe I'm holding. So here are few pictures to share with. I equip my self with a Nikon D300s and a Tamron 18-270 vc II. Its light enough for me to walk around without being exhausted.  Enjoice

After being warned about the permit to shot. I lost my mood to capture the scenery of the Central Market and around it. Instead, I hunting for the people who make this place alive.

These people made me wonder about them, where they come from, where do they live, what are they doing here early in the morning.

Some of these people do grow old together with this place

and some of them just try to find something to do and earn to keep on living in here

Central Market and Pudu plaza really does keeps thousand of secret along with the people around here

even the new generation flooding these place, they still cant over run the old and classic feeling around here 

Everytime I review back my shots, I look deep in the pictures wondering whats their stories.

What made what they became right now. What made they choose to be what they are

and what made them keep on living here

as most of them agree: picture tells a thousand stories and it does. For this D300s, it works great and I'm loving it. Usually I will bring along my Fujifilm X100. This time maybe I'll consider bring this 300s along instead my x100.
