Photo – Woodware
Taken during a visit to a handy-craft shop in Bali. These are quite expensive, made from high quality wood (unfortunately, yours truly cannot recall which type of wood) - a few hundred $US if I'm not mistaken.
Photo – Trader in Bali
Image taken a while back in Bali. Bali's economy is heavily dependent on tourism. Stalls like this, selling tour packages are not uncommon.

Taken during the most recent Malaysia vs Manchester United match at Bukit Jalil.

Lowepro Classified AW Series
Lowepro launched a new series of bags that are less like camera bags. Great for street shooting and other times when you wanna reduce the risk of getting mugged. A sad thought, yes, but it happens. I've heard of cases where snatch-thieves grabbed a camera bag in Jalan Bukit Bintang not too long ago. Now if only there's another trip to Singapore...

2. Sigma 10-20 set to 10mm, f7 or so
3. A single SB600 with colored domes from Gary Fong / Lambency diffuser (just the dome)
4. Running around, hiding and hitting the flash test button
5. Sprinkle of luck
Somewhere In China Photography & Film Workshop
I'm going!!! Got my confirmation email yesterday! I'm freakin' excited! The last talk that I found very memorable was the one by Bazuki of Reuters. Here's an excerpt from National Geographic's site:
SOMEWHERE IN CHINA, a new series on National Geographic Channel, premieres on October 12 at 19:00. SOMEWHERE IN CHINA sends Peter and Jeff back to China – where they lived as children – to document the nation in the midst of social reinvention. The series allows them to demonstrate what they do best, taking truly stunning photographs and film footage that make the series a visual feast for viewers.
Don’t miss the chance to get a behind the scenes experience with Peter and Jeff Hutchens!
