My Penang Adventures (Part 3)

This set of pictures are shot at a Baba Nyonya mansion. The condition of this mansion is pristine. I was very impressed by the restoration works that returns this heritage site back to its former glory. Have a look.

Street shooting in the heart of KL city

I was street shooting in KL one day and i thought why not i just  concentrate shooting at one single location. So, where does it bring me? To Jalan Sultan Ismail of course. This is a series of B&W for you guys to admire.

I think the woman is his mother. What say you?

Street artist, his sketches are awesome. He is truly talented.

This poor little girl was begging at the middle of the sidewalk. If you look closely at her thigh, there seems to be a long stitch mark. This girl is surely one of those victims of illegal syndicates which injure young children and throw them on the streets to beg.

This is the kind of picture i was hoping to capture. An old man on a pre-war Bengalli bicycle. He looks weird though. haha XP

I saw this “monk” asking for alms from tourists and only tourists. I was just a few feet away from him when he approached an English tourist. The English woman was almost fooled by this “monk”, but i quickly told her that a scam was taking place as real Buddhist monks only take food as an offering not money. I lingered around a little longer and then three police officers took him away.

Why on earth is a Sunway Lagoon mascot doing all the way in the middle of the city?

What do cabbies do while waiting for customers? They take their 40 winks* (nap)

Jaya Supermarket… what a loss.

I found a few pictures that i took a few months after Jaya collapsed. I dug them out from my hard drive to share them with you guys.
