It's been a long time since I've blog about anything at all. I've been lost for a while, not in away that I could not found but more of losing myself and the sense of where I belong in the world.

I took some time off to rediscover myself. While trying to rediscover myself I've picked up photography again, after letting my DSLR collect dust for quite some time. Here are some of the photo's I've been taking.

Hope that I can continue taking photo's and share them with all of you the wonderful and beautiful view of this world.

Please leave comments and criticism for me to improve myself in photography.

Launch Of The Grand Trinidad Cigar Divan

Hey all its me again. Who else would it be, it is my blog. Today I want to talk about cigars. I'm not that knowledgeable regarding cigars. I do know some of the brand of cigars that are sold in cigar shop such as Romeo & Juliet, Monte Cristo, Davidoff, Cuban Stock and etc etc. Today I was invited by my uncle to a cigar launch by his company, Trinidad Group Of Companies. The event was held at Best Western Premier Dua Sentral in Jalan Tun Sambathan and the event is the grand opening of Cigar Divan which is a cigar shop inside Western Premiere Hotel. I was invited by my uncle to take some photo's of the event. The official launching date of Cigar Divan is 27/04/2013.

Muay Thai Competition.

On 03/02/2013 I was invited to a Muay Thai competition by a friend of mine who is also in the competition. Sadly I missed his fight but manage to watch a few fights by his friends. Below are the videos that I manage to shoot while I was there.

This is a video of Germaine Yeap of Kambiz Warrior Gym doing the dance ritual of Muay Thai the "Wai Khru Ram Muay".

Above is the video of the Heavyweight fight between Ewan Big Boyz of Kuda Merah T.D. V.S. Barbord.

This is the last fight. The fight is between " Pokku of Kuda Merah PDRM vs Anas from France.

That was my first time at a Muay Thai competition. I loved it, the energy, the conviction and the blood and sweat that they put in training everyday just for this one night to show people what have they trained so hard for. I would like to thank my friend for inviting me to the competition.

Family Day Out.

On the 26th of December 2012 me and my family went to the Bird Park for lunch then we went to Orchid Garden for a walk. Here are some pictures that I took on that day.

The Restaurant that we went to is called Hornbill Restaurant. Half of the restaurant is covered with netting which also surround the entire bird park area. This is to prevent the birds from flying away. 

This is my parents. Jasmin Hoogerwerf and Ivo Hoogerwerf. 

This is my cousin and his girlfriend. Mohd Sallehuddin and Natasha Hana. 

My other cousin and his girlfriend. Noradilah (Dylla) and Mohd Allau'ddin 

 

Dylla was my unofficial model for the day.

I'm not good in portrait photography but I'm trying to learn more about it. I'm also looking for anyone who is willing to be a model for me to help me out. If any of you have any tips for portrait photography please drop me a comment. Thank you for viewing my post. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
