The tradition I got going in my first Project 365 four years ago was to make a camera-related purchase every 100 days.
Alas, this Canon EOS 5D Mark III isn’t mine; it’s a review unit from Canon Singapore, mine for four days only.

Today, I heard the most dreaded word known to a production professional.
Reshoot.
But, later in the day, a silver lining appeared; the Canon C300 has arrived, and I’ll be using the reshoot as an opportunity to test drive this camera, something I’ve been waiting to do since January.
The nightly laser light show.

Random photographs of Shanghai I took with the Sony α NEX-5N I bought two days before the trip.
Looking at these photographs, I can tell I was yearning to go back to basics. I didn’t have a story to tell. I didn’t have anything—a mastery of exposure, eagle-eye focusing, et. cetera—to prove. All I wanted was to take photographs, and to relish once again the process of taking my time to observe a scene, getting into the right spot for the right angle, and then waiting to capture the right moment.
And to be happy while doing that.

Fly away.

Yet another showflat shoot.
What better way to celebrate meeting a deadline than to sit down with a book and two pints?
At The Coastal Settlement.
It’s too bright in here.
Like a wayang kulit backdrop.
Walking by a store, I saw a basket full of Woodstock keychains and thought, Why not?—I’ve always liked Woodstock.
We’re closed.
The festivities are over.
About
34, male and very Cancerian. Often irascible, even if he is prescient to his emotions. Lives for the resonance of beautiful passages, cinematic magic and aural bliss. Dabbles in fiction writing, photography, sketching and daydreaming in his free time, even though he is paid to do just those in a professional capacity.
He is, in other words, quite a geek.
