The saree, the look and the bag.

Agent Orange (Bourke Street, 2011)

The great City kit.

Am a big football fan. And the teams I will religiously support (although not as hardcore as some) are Malaysia, England, Manchester United and Kuala Lumpur - no matter what. (What was that bit about me not being as hardcore? Haha.). Anyway, was browsing through Facebook and found a page for the Kuala Lumpur Football Association. Imagine my delight when I found out that:

1) KL are in the Malaysia Cup 2011

2) Their kit is available for purchase. (YESSSSSSS!!!!)

(You have to forgive me, I'm overseas and there is not much news you can get online regarding Malaysian football, except the big matches). So here I was calling my mother (bless her), getting her to order the MC2011 kit for me, and when I received it, it certainly did not disappoint. Manufactured by Kika and sold by Kamal Sport, this deep electric blue kit really brought out the essence of KL (hey! We're different, yet stylish. Hahaha)

So, in honour of the team making it thus far in the competition (we haven't lost yet) and to a beautiful kit, here are some shots I took for a personal project of mine. Hope you like them. 

Oh, and Go Hawks. 

(PS - While I took these shots pro bono, it would be great if you could let me know where you use the images. And a word of thanks would be great :p) 

The Canon EOS Photo5

The EOS Photo5 is Canon Australia's annual photography competition, where one has to fulfil 5 individual briefs. As it was my first time, I decided to give it a shot (no pun intended). First brief was aptly titled, "Through A Pet's Eyes" and I was fortunate enough to have taken this shot. It's my take on the view of a cat, its long sightedness (they are! try putting a piece of meat in front of them, FAIL.), its view of the feet of humans, and the interaction between one another that we always see them do.

This was titled "Hello. What do you have over there?"

My family

During a short trip back home recently for a religious celebration, I set out to photograph my family in their element. My father, the retired army officer, always prim and proper. My mother, cheeky and always up for a laugh. My sister and my brother in law, drained with the antics of my energetic nephew :p

We're a weird bunch, and I love them for it.

Elyas.
