Finally today I got a professional lab to scan this roll of black and white film. Mr. Mohandas – well, at first when we entered this house welcomed by Mr. Othman, the chief tenant, we did not discover Mr. Mohandas til the later part when we were about to leave the place after bumping in and shooting the interior of the pre-war house for a while. I remember seeing Mr. Mohandas was outside his room standing still when he saw us, few feet across were we were talking to Mr. Othman. The chief tenant told him that we were guests and were here to take photos. I remember seeing only his silhouette because of the sunlight from the window cast over him, making him look a bit mysterious as he was quiet and motionless. Curiosity led to approach this man to get a closer look even though at first I felt a little afraid. And so I started a conversation with him and at that very moment my two friends were already shaking hands with Mr. Othman and about to bid him goodbye. I thought it was not over yet til I get some good shots of Mr. Mohandas’ portrait. I begged him to have his photo taken. He kept saying, next time, next time. But I told him, there might not be another next time and that while he is still 'young' now let me take his photo. After much persuasion ( and a little sweet talk), he agreed. Mr. Mohandas was very calm and natural looking during the photo shoot. He did not even show any feeling of awkwardness when three photographers around him clicking their shutters. My friend turned to me in the middle of the shoot saying, he is handsome. Only at that moment I turned to have a better look at Mr. Mohandas and realised he is indeed a handsome 'young' man. Later I asked about his age, he told me he is 72 years old, I was a bit surprised :D @ Ipoh, Perak Yashica Electro 35, Yashinon DX 45mm f/1.7, Kodak 125PX (Expired)

"Me in Chef Clothes" I have had several people in the past ask to see pics of me in chef clothes. I am not sure what they were expecting but here goes. I wear black chef coats at my current job. They don't show every single little bit of dirt and grime, but the negative is they don't make me look as fat. Although at this weight, I do not think even black would be slimming on me. All my chef pants are cargo style as I love all the pockets. I aqlso love the fact they are elastic waistbands with drawstrings. It is like going to work in sweatpants or pajama bottoms. This is my olive green houndstooth check pants, which I wear when I want to feel more professional.
