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.

Me in BreadTalk: Japan Travel Blog Contest

I just submitted an application to the BreadTalk: Japan Travel Blog Contest. I came across this contest a few weeks ago but did not have any inspiration to capture myself eating the bread; until today.

At 5.30pm, I made my way to BreadTalk in Sunway Pyramid (situated at LG2 near the ice rink. Just look for McDonald and head towards Marrakesh). Half way walking to Pyramid the whole sky started turning very dark. Oops rain is about to visit Sunway. I paced up my speed.

Upon reaching BreadTalk, I started searching for the buns which had the Japan Travel Blog tag. Unfortunately, I only found one. It was the Harajuku.

The Harajuku was surprisingly nice :D I am not saying this for the sake of saying, its really nice :D Anyway, last night I had the Teriyaki Chicken (which is also one of the special bread); which was even more awesome. I wish I could have another bite of the Teriyaki Chicken. Too bad I did not capture any shot of the latter. Anyway, this is my submission for the contest

    I agree, Teriyaki Chicken is one of the most awesome bread that you will find around, I've had both The Harajuku and Teriyaki Chicken when I visited Japan last year, and they tasted great.
