Adverts not interesting? hmmm... care to explain.

Heck! I'd absolutely no idea why I'm doing this, but I shall rip your "series" apart, if it's a series at all.

First, your title of the "series" Titles: Part 3 & 4 makes absolutely no sense at all, since one would expect part 3 & 4 to be a continuation of your part 1 & 2 posted earlier last week. Is there a continuation of any kind? Not that I know of... the only consistency is perhaps just you, the photographer. Then again, I don't "see" you in that first "series" and I don't "see" you here again, so consistency in what?

Secondly, I don't exactly "see" you in the picture. Again, it's a consistency problem, for you're doing some deadpan shots like "The Reader", "The distributor", "At the doorstep", "The Indian Man" and "Tour de Little India" while at the same time showcasing a landscape shot in "The Farmer", and further complicate the whole series with that seek coherence in a incoherent picture, like the adverts. And to even make it an original rojak of a series, you invaded personal spaces by the two "Devotion" pieces, making the whole series seems like you're observing the street, making sense of a land, being judgmental of the chaos and trying to intrude into a personal sphere all at once. Too many aims for one series isn't it? And I'm not even gonna touch on the technicalities of these shots!!

Thirdly, the titles of each individual pictures are simply iconic, and doesn't add much coherence and doesn't reveal much in what you're trying to achieve. Making your series a great big puzzle, that frankly, I'm not bothered in finding the solution in.

thks cheat...anyone else with comments on these parts that i had done?

[ndroo]

I'm not good in commenting (or maybe not qualified ) but I think there are just too many in this thread. Need some time to 'digest' and break them into smaller groups. I always think posting small groups of photos (eg 3 or 4) in a thread makes viewing easier.

Nonsense! Everyone who's anyone could give good comments if they wanted to, as long as it's sincerely what one feel.

Using flowery language and technical terms (which I bet you'll easily pick up, if you read more) is just the safest way not to be shot too badly! If you can't convince them, confuse them!

not the usual khairi-sorta pics --- that's what i think. you usually offer your own intepretation. i'll wait for that.

hmmm...i think you see my picts too much...no fun...

ok lah..i be frank...Titles: part 1 - 7 are mixers of "nearly can make it" shots and cmi shots (totally rojak). I posted it in bulk cos I wanted ppl to have a sweep thru. Have a feel of it (which i dont think many would feel anything abt it). Then, read any comments on it (if any).

I'm not here to please anyone, and frankly, i was really iritated by your rather stupid question "u like ur shots khairi?". To me, you are not offering me any constructive comments. I could ask you that question to to some of your old shots too rite? But I didnt. To me, you posted cos you wanted comments.

So, if you dont like it...simply reply like what Cheat did. It doesnt work for him. So, it doesnt. To see pics tat are nice or pleasing is one issue to me, but to find potential and later improve on it, is a much better issue to me. That's one way of improving.

ha ha...i got whacked by Cheat over MSN until yesterday, he stopped whacking me cos i told him the reason y i posted the picts...and i showed him the only one that i really like (wic i didnt even post at all)...sometimes, ideas dont come from just good picts, but from comments on those bad shots.

so, do you like my shots?

advert 3 would be funny if you had a bald guy walking past the poster, scratching his head.

Advert 3 is a poor imitation by khairi on zaren's niche!
