Good day, As normal begining part of the introduction, my name is Edwin Tan…..
Back in May 2007, when I bought my first DSLR Canon 400D, my intention was to record the precious moments for my family. I was in photography classes during my study in The One Academy back in 1990’s when I was teenager. During film time. I still remember the time I spend on developing film, and photo outing at dataran merdeka to capture the magic hour moments. Everything was so exciting and I fall in love with photography since then even it was just a semester with less than 13 classes. However, due to financial problem, I have to quit The One Academy and join a gas industry. As developing films are very expensive at that point of time, I have to hold back on photography After all these years, when i am back into photography, I started shooting portrait and some still life and same time was thinking may be marco photography will be my choice..However, in July 2007, after I join one of the master of wedding photographers in Malaysia, Zung, ThePhotoz’s workshop, the slideshow that Zung show us really touched me and it turn out to be my passion and my part time job now. I love wedding photography so much and it is the most satisfied moment for me when I see how the couple appreciate and happy about the images and moments that I capture for them no matter how tired I am at the end of the shooting session.

It was just like yesterday when we shooting prewedding for Ben & Ling and now here we are, the 2nd trip to Kuching for Joseph and Wan Yee’s prewedding assignment. It was around 830pm when we reach airport and we took some shoots to warm up the night for ourselves hahahah.
Our first trip to Kuching and in fact my first trip to East Malaysia thanks to Ben & Ling arrangement and trust on our work. Ling has been doing all the site survey and study before our arrival which make the whole trip a lot easier especially on scouting the location for us. We stay in Kuching for 3D/2N during the prewedding shoots and it was fun and extremely full hahaah, Ben & Ling been feeding us none stop.. one evening they even call for 50 sticks of satay,…can you imagine that oooooo
Thanks Ben & Ling for your hospitality and we enjoy our stay very much, some of my highlights of the trip:

Being single again is kinda weird to me, I never think of this situation before but may be this is the best solution at this moment. so,this week is consider a new chapter in my life. After all these years,life is a day in day out routine to me. With these recent new changes, I am not sure how it will goes and lead to me which path.Be it better or worse,all I know is, to survive, to adapt the new environment. Sometime I wonder, why life must be so complicated, so many issues, why cant we live a simple life? why everyone must have selfishness, politics, misunderstanding and war. We are just virus to the mother earth
