Ok. Apparently today I was slightly fortunate because I had a spare battery my battery grip ran out. Lol. Next time I’ll prolly be more careful before going out again. Hehe. Ok, so I got up about 7am, and took 15 mins to get ready for my first attempt on my morning walk. So I went out, and apparently the sun was already up and pretty much very hot already. So I started to move around and see what interesting pictures I can capture today. So instead of making a right turn heading to town, I went to the opposite side which eventually brought me to the wet market. During my journey there, I did stop a while and took a few more pictures here and there. But never really thought of heading to the market.
Upon arriving the market, the fish was actually my first subject before taking pictures of this woman here slicing and dicing the fish. Hehe. Apparently she was camera shy, and but of course. Have to act as if she’s really working hard before the owner actually came up to me and asked me what was I doing. So I just told him that I’m just taking pictures for fun, and who knows if there’s any competition I’ll just submit these pictures. Then he went on saying that, if you want to win competition one should not always take pictures of beautiful scenery but rather the dirty part of town. He even jokingly said that the Chief Minister as well as the Prime Minister will pay me heaps of money for these sort of pictures, so that I won’t even consider posting them. And told me it’s another method of “covering up”. Anyway, after conversing with him a few more mins I thanked him before I left the place as I need to get back to the shop. Before it’s too late.. But all in all, I guess sometimes photography does have it’s way in starting small talks. It’s all good. Probably I might take his advice after all, because he told me behind the market that’s where the real beauty is.. lol. Have a nice day.
