Instagram Pick Of The Month

I've decided to do this post where I ownself praise ownself on my new addiction of Instagram-photography.

Shoot-ception. 

I met up with a friend the other day explaining to him that I'm no photographer but I really am just a content creator with a camera. I do not take the best pictures in terms of photography but I try my best to take pictures that tells a story for my client or even for myself.

And their question was more of "how do you find time to run your tour business, startups, go gym gym, play basketball, take care of your son and still have time for such time consuming hobby?" Hello people, focus on my new hobby and not how I find time!! #SleepIsForTheWeak

Photography is a science to some but to me it is really a craft and it is a craft that needs practice more than anything.

Here's my top 5 of the month! (And I will try to be consistent and erm, do this monthly)

1. NAVY @ VIVO 

descending of the sun. #ForReal #NavyAtVivo #UntilNextYear

2. Ramadan at Geylang Serai 

The highly anticipated unicorn poop. I mean rainbow bagel. #hipstersgonnahip #rainbowbagel #🌈💩

What's the best way to celebrate a festival other than good food? Fine, this ain't exactly Malay traditional food but this is how far hipster culture has hit the world. Overpriced bagel with shit load of sugar. YES PLS! Ya lah, this shit is $8 okay! 

3. Father and son time at Orchard Library   

Fairytales begin their stories with "Once upon a time", while the chinese use "在很久很久以前”, but in Singapore, we do it better with "Lim bei ka li kong". Happy father's day to all the "lim bei"s out there!! #HappyFathersDay #LimBeiKaLiKong #Sethankyou

The wife don't exactly enjoy doing things I like but hey look! She managed to get the shot I want after I set my camera and angle for her and all. Love this picture to bits. And this is also my 1st picture that hit the 500 likes mark! This was actually taken after our simple father's day lunch and before I head back to work. #WorkWorkWork.mp3 

4.  Common Grounds journey at #MyGalleryWeekend 

Morgan Freeman is that you? #FeelsLikeHeaven #MarblemakeseverythinghipsterAF #nationalgallerysg #mygalleryweekend

Not my 1st visit to the gallery but every visit is a new experience. I might look like some crazy party animal or adrenaline junkie but I really love my quiet time at the galleries and museums once in awhile. Just keep quiet, look at the exhibits, and also sit around the place to get my pictures taken. 

5.  Lego X Uniqlo Campaign Winning Picture 

Body building. Geddit??? LOL #OwnselfLaughAtOwnJoke #uniqlosg #uniqloxlego #legouniqlosg #flatlay #onthetable

I'm really one of the worst person when it comes to flatlay. This is something I struggle a lot trying to get it right but I'm glad I have my team members to guide me along. And after weeks of taking lousy flatlays, I am glad to announce that @Smithankyou is now award contest winning IG account! I actually won a set of Lego which cost over $100 with this picture! (don't everything also award winning lah pls. disgusting.)    

In other news, I've always started another IG account just to erm.. show you behind the scene and also how much alcohol I drink. HAHAHA. Check out @Smiffuckyou as well. (I damn punny right!!)
