Anonymous Exhibition

Eleven years ago, a photo enthusiast by the name of Marcus Mok came to the now defunct Photographers’ Choice to enroll in my People and Portraits photography class. Now, eleven years later, he is a very sort after wedding photographer, and a lifestyle and stock photographer. He is one of the very few photographers, who are capable of taking good pictures and being a model for the camera! His self-portrait life-style pictures have been used by OCBC, UOB and many other organisations for their promotion purposes.

Last Friday, 5th December 2008, Marcus held his very own Anonymous photo exhibition at Studio 83 on 83 Kim Yam Road 3rd Floor (along Mohammed Sultan Road). This exhibition features lots of hunks in various masculine poses. Marcus uses creative lightings, props and unique camera perspective to enhance the masculine bodies. Some of the photographs were further enhance in Photoshop to give a surreal feel. Marcus is currently based in Melbourne and it is good to meet up with him again after all these years!

Marcus's Anonymous exhibition is opening daily from 10am to 6pm and it will be on till Sunday, 14th December 2008. Do visit the exhibition to support our local photographer Marcus Mok.

All for a good course

We have often seen MediaCorp artiste Christopher Lee (李铭顺) acting on television but have you seen him washing car's wind screen for others? Well, that was what Christopher Lee was doing two weekends ago at the Mocca Full Throttle to raise funds for some children homes. Well done, Christopher!





Mocca Full Throttle

Two Sundays ago, I was down at the National Stadium Park G to catch the drifting demonstrations by some expert drifters. When I was walking towards the car park I was rather disappointed because all I saw was rows of family sedan cars and some promoters giving out sales leaflets.

As I was walking along the booths, suddenly I heard the revving of a powerful engine. I'm very sure the distinctive sound must have come from either a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. I quickly run towards the direction of the sound at the end row of the tentage.

Just as I reach the clearing of the last tentage, I was delighted to see a row of six Lamborghinis. One of the drivers has started his engine. At this very moment my spirit was lifted and I'm starting to enjoy the car show. This is what I call "The Real Cars!”

As I was busy taking pictures of my favourite cars, the remaining five drivers also came to start their engines. To hear the roaring of one Lamborghini’s engine is exciting enough for me, and to hear all six Lamborghini engines powering up at one go, boy I was in heaven!!

Slowly one by one the Lamborghinis drove away and I was standing in the middle of the drive way shooting as they left. All of a sudden, behind me came another distinctive sound of the Harley Davidson motor bikes! Boy, just as my favourite cars left, my favourite motor bikes were rolling in. This has to be the best Sunday for me!

Off course, I also love the Mini Coupe-S and the drifting, but nothing really comes close to my favourites Lamborghini cars and Harley Davidson bikes!
