“What, you don’t like how I wear my shorts?”

Oh alright, I was looking for the alliteration BUT it was the best basketball I have ever seen. What do you expect, when you get NBA players like Manu Ginobili who plays for the San Antonio Spurs?

The photography work at the Philips Singapore Cup was exhilarating, exhausting. Being courtside, you see the whites of the eyes, the sweat on the brow and feel the power of a dunk.

You can get more basketball pictures at my sports gallery.

I was the official photographer for the 8th Asian Karate-do Federation Junior & Cadet Championship held in Singapore in August 2006.

The Japanese displayed a grace and beauty in their moves that were rarely surpassed. They were a joy to behold.  To read an article on the event, click here.

I will always remember those floodlights. I will always remember the first time I walked into the stadium as a child. The scene bathed in a white glow. The grass, vibrant green. The smell of cigarette smoke mixed with that of curry puffs. The stadium announcer’s voice mixed in with the low rumbling sound of the swearing, sweating throng of 50,000.

And high above the crowd they stood, lonely and ignored. Soon the lights will go out forever.
