Hit the Streets~

Right outside the Annexure, painters and artists doing what they do best.

I have to say, i have one of my pictures drawn here and it was good. But it aint cheap ;)

This is what we call 'wayang kulit' or what u may know as pupetry shot, just that these actually use beautifully cut papers in the form of living or mythical beings.
I think it originated in Kelantan, Malaysia and its sadly one of those heritage which is dissapearing. Maybe, one day i`ll just travel down to Kelantan and watch the show myself.

Now these are the handcarved pupets (supposingly that they are) which are sometimes used in pupet shows. Check out the colours of their garments and the details, its just awesome.

Now i know the West have Easter, and eggs cost very cheap during the celebration. Still remember missed my 1 quid per carton of eggs shopping spree ;).. and yes, in Msia we have coloured eggs too. Probably derived from the Easter idea too.. Well i dont really get what the Bunny and the Eggs got to do with Easter? hmm...

Well, i managed to get some picture inside Central Market. There are just loads of shops ranging from handicraft items to really expensive tourist souveniers.. hahaha.. and it was a Thursday so i guess there wasnt many people around.

Everytime i see singers on the streets, i never fail to be amazed how they can stand singing and singing for hours~! Was sitting there for 2 hours he never stop singing and ended up with my RM3, pity but hey GET A JOB. I remember when i was in the busy London tube station (forgot which stop) i heard this really good strong voice like Lois Armstrong i swear echoing throught the walls of the tube. It was rush hour then, i tried to look for that guy but sadly there was JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE~!!!! man wish i had bought a cd from him..

(above pictures are all Photoshop-ed into my Street sytle colours or Lomo-ed)

Central Market #4

Awesome show of affection of KL, considering the fact where they painted it.. ;)

Central market Annexe, this is where all the local artists paint and sell their works. Also here is where u can get cheap items for your art projects or whatever nots.

Central Market #3

There wasnt much graffitis around, think they were on the verge of being cleaned up;) but i didnt find this particular guy all over town~! Anyone know who this belong to?;-)

Well, this wasnt in KL, i shot this with my Sony Digicam when i was studying in UK back in 2007. Just reminds me its kinda funny even thou i have no idea what the letters there stands for.. anyone for pointers? well i`m sure, no way that i wont expect it to be of any profanities.. haha :D

Central Market #2

You're shooting me?

Above is a slight lomo-ed picture.

Found this in someback alley which i think was quite interesting considering the fact that i was shooting around the street.

Central Market

(blogspot keep resizing my images, dont seem to be able to put up a decent sized one)

I escaped from my busy schedule and set out the do some street photography. Though really really busy with my schedule i managed to step out to KL's Central Market which has been there since 1881.
A building full with history since the colonial times, now an art market or some might claim is where many gifted artists sell their work or arts there.
I personally prefer graffiti art, which i think they are totally interesting and colourful. Many of these artists are sadly still hidden in the dirt of gifted people which i think who might have a great potential doing 'proper' graffiti art. (not those racial, non-sensical ones)
The Government has announced that graffiti art will be banned in KL for vandalism reasons, and will set a venue where all graffiti artist can do what they do best ;)
Hence, i set myself out in seacrch for graffitis around Central Market before they are cleaned up.
Above is the only gigantic wall art i found but was parked with cars infront of them, so i guess i`ll have to go back for another shot one day.(if its still there)
More pictures to come, shot from central market.
