Back in the days, Jeff was in the same army camp as I was. I know him as a jovial, carefree person with alot of talk cock skills. Haha. We still meet yearly for our ICT and years on, I received a call from him asking to be a “xiong di”. I guess it’s that age where alot of your friends will be getting married. I know very little of Sherlyn except that Jeff nabbed himself a gorgeous wife and found out later on that she is as kind hearted as she looks. Jeff you lucky bast*rd 🙂
Nonetheless, disclaimer first and foremost, I did not want to bring my usual gear to shoot for a couple of reasons. Namely, if I was to be the “xiong di”, I naturally gotta be the hands to carry items throughout the day and very likely be involved in the gate crashing games which means it’s pointless for me to be bringing tons of gear. Most importantly I would not want to intrude and block the photographer’s angle who happens to be Derrick Ong, an established photographer in the industry.
Moving forward, I did not went as a photographer this time round. I went as a buddy with a Micro Four Third system – Olympus EP2 (Angeline’s precious camera which she named it “Pok Chui”) and her manual prime lens – Kern Paillard Pizar 26mm F1.9 which is older than alot of us I think. My purpose was to absorb in the whole event and forget I’m a photographer but to document with the manual focusing lens as an observer, a brother, a friend and to keep the colors and shots as RAW as possible. The more film like, the more blurry, the more technically wrong as I possibly can. Hope you enjoy the series as much as I had documenting them! 🙂
Somehow love the empty space next to Sherlyn, waiting for Jeff to come. Haha.
Love,
Raymond Phang
