Photography trip to Kampung Baru
March 3rd, 2008 19 Comments » » 864 viewsEmbarked on my first photography trip to the quasi-village that is Kampung Baru.
The air was filled with excitement for the coming elections. Almost everything was draped in various party flags and posters, even the houses.
Propaganda t-shirts.
It’s like a messy clash of old and new there. Modern, art deco-ish street lights and decorative poles were being erected for beautification purposes but they clash horribly with the humble traditional houses and food stalls. Well, elections are coming and someone has to be seen doing some work, aye?
Construction.
The kids were very curious and friendly. All of them wanted to have their pictures taken. I could only indulge them…. :)
Happy boy. Just looking at this picture makes me want to smile :)
The stood quietly and posed for me.
While the adults were working or busy discussing about politics at the food stalls, the children chilled outside their homes.
Children chilling.
Found someone who look kind of out of place and confused.
Confused little girl.
We had an early dinner at one of the food stalls. The food was cheap and fantastic! I ate loads of beef lungs and tripes. Hmmm hmmm hmm hmmm hmmmm….
Takeaway.
Beef lungs, beef tripe, beef, belacan and some vege. Spicy and addictive….
Dree tucking in.
The trip ended pretty early due to the rain. We were lucky that we’re so near our car when the sky started to pour.
Rachel, Dree and KY just before the rain set in.
This was my last picture from Kampung Baru.
Flags at dusk.
We adjourned to Starbucks, chatted and drank expensive fumigated coffee till the clock struck 12. What an awesome Sunday!
