This outing was quite a failure, to be honest. Joash, Garrick and I went to Buntal to shoot the first sunrise of 2010, along with another dozen or so Photoborneo.com photographers (and I had no idea that this was such a big thing). The plan was to sleep between 2 and 4, but while Joash managed to get some shuteye, and the one hour enough to sustain him throughout the drive up, I lay spazzed on Joash's couch for the allocated sleep time and so went to Buntal completely sleepless and feeling very much like I usually do at NUS. We left at 4am. Shot all the way through to 8am. When we reached there, there was a whole bunch of Photoborneo people, setting up tripods and cameras and sitting around on driftwood and the like, their LCD screens glowing in the darkness.
I'm just going to post up the 9 shots that turned out okay.
The sad thing? There was no sunrise that morning. It was too cloudy, and it was the monsoon season. Which suited me and Joash just fine - we went to do street photography in the village lanes instead.
I'm not going to post captions for the pictures below. I normally do, because I look for stories with my camera, but this time around I'm looking to find a unique visual 'voice' - what some people call 'personal vision' ... okay that didn't make sense, did it?
Right. I forgot. Less talking, more showing. We went to Buntal on the first day of the new year. This is what I saw:
