A wedding kiss at a Malay wedding.
After putting the ring, it is customary for the groom to kiss the bride's forehead.
Though it is customary to shoot wide angle on this, I decided to frame the shot as is (no cropping at all). Well, apart from being too lazy to change lens to a wide angle lens, I wasn't the official photographer so I could shoot whatever I wanted. :)
Another thing, I forgot how did the background turn black because it wasn't black and I am sure that I didn't color it black.

Explore... Interestingness....
I keep being haunted by these two words...
A very close friend once told me that the movie Terminal was all about waiting. So. I thought to myself "Why not post photos with waiting as the theme?"
So, the 4 photos in this series represent waiting.
What do you think?

She was a model doing a catwalk at KLCC. I realized that when a model reaches the end of the catwalk, her eyes would do a quick scan. So, I timed the shot so that it would seem that she was looking at me.
I don't think she had any idea I was there.
Btw, I used 72-200 f2.8 lens. Full zoom, little crop.

This ADAM AND EVE series is dedicated to Tous les noms sont déjà pris... pfff... / r who I think is one of the most talented people shooters on Flickr.
