Milk n Chupa Chups…


I was doing a shoot at a friend’s place a couple of days ago and as usual, I was enjoying myself as most photographers do when given the opportunity to shoot beautiful people in a beautiful setting. Well, I do anyway heheh…

Sometime during the afternoon, a guest, a very successful businessman and a prominent Bruneian, made a remark which went something like this, “Eh, turun pangkat kah jadi photographer?”

Normally, I would have made a smug come-back to the distinguished gentleman’s comment, something like, “Maaf YB, not sure about that, but my previous job in top management involved shovelling other peoples’ shit, and lots of it, so in my humble opinion, photography’s a vast improvement.”

But on that day, I somehow brushed the comment aside and continued enjoying myself behind the lens. It was then that it dawned upon me how much I have grown to love photography… so much so that a derogatory remark, which normally would have gotten me riled up, flowed off me like water off glass :)
