When a copy of the Singapore Tatler, Singapore's leading High Society magazine arrived to me by mail it feels great to open the magazine and see my work published in it. It is my first work published in a major magazine and that is quite an achievement for myself. My work to cover the Italian ambassador's cocktail dinner at Fullerton Hotel is published over two pages on page 42 and 43 and ahead of their other regular contributing photographers. I had a recent chat with their Editor in chief and she said they initially wanted to use only one page but since they like the photos they decided to use two pages instead. No, I did not shoot the February issue cover but perhaps one day =) Singapore Tatler website - http://www.sgtatler.com

A very happy Australia Day to all my aussie friends in Australia. Just thinking of you folks on this holiday. I can picture the beautiful sky, sun, sand, smell the salt, people on the beach, surfers in the ocean, picnic at the park and having brunch at the lovely sidewalk cafes.

This is a first look at the design and layout of my new website. My old website was designed in December 2007 when I entered into the photography business. A good photography website that is well designed with good content will help to create interest in my work and bring business. A good website is critical these days as it is a photographer's online portfolio. Over the weekend I have spent countless hours putting together the concept design that I like which I feel has to be very photography centric. As a photographer, the photos are our work and that is what people want to see and buy from us. Hence the photos are now the main focus and in large images to draw the viewers attention. The new design has colour added using the oriental red from my new logo for some of the text.
