About the Fotogelafer

Welcome to Fotogelafer.com. I am Wan Cheng Huat AKA the Fotogelafer. Here is a short write up about how photography came into my life.

All my life, I can say that I have always been attuned with art. When I was much younger, I loved to draw. How did I know that? Well, I never could stop picking up a pen or a pencil to start imprinting what I saw. Drawing became a part of my life. As years pass me by, I soon realized that my ‘addiction’ actually soothes me, my feelings, my emotions and most of all my soul.

When I turned 16, I decided to join my school’s photography club and loved it almost instantly. Photography, in many ways, was and still is similar with drawing; instead of capturing images with my pen or pencil, I am now able to capture them with my camera.

I was overwhelmed with enthusiasm and learnt all I could from wherever I could. I remember reading through all the Reader's Digest I could get to obtain photography tips which were usually the advertisements of Kodak or Canon or Fujifilm. At that time, it was my only source where I could learn about shutter speed, aperture settings and how to play around to get my intended effects. Even now, after over 10 years, I still keep those files which still have those Reader's Digest pages.

I could remember the moment when I first picked up a camera; I knew that there was no turning back. Cameras and films were my new tools to express my new found identity.

But as time pass, technology became more advance and soon enough photography became digital. Only after 10 years, I finally abandon film photography; as it became more and more expensive and obsolete. However, I will cherish all those negatives which are now lying in my dry box. Nothing can replace them.

Enjoy my photographs.

07.06.2009 - Samuel's Birthday Dinner at Pantai Seafood Restaurant

It was Samuel's birthday dinner at Pantai Seafood Restaurant. Recommendation by Chee Wing. The food was so-so, not very tasty and their service was Horrid with a capital H. Well this will surely happen when you hire foreign labour to help out.The clams, Thai chicken and Patin fish was good, the rest was just below average.
Present at the dinner was Han Leong and Joyce, Kian Ming, Fung Keat, Chee Wing, Jeffrey, me, Samuel and of course his NEW girlfriend, Denise.
Great time to catch up, especially when everyone is so busy leading their respective lives.
After filling ourselves with seafood, the cake was awaiting us. Thanks to the staffs, our RM70 Secret Recipe cake was half melted.
