Day 246 - today was my 1st time shooting a funeral. when i arrived, the daughter of the deceased was actually a new friend that i've made during YWD conferance few months ago. my condolences to the family.the prayer session was held in a chapel and later cremated. some members & friends took turn to say a few words. it was so sad. although i have never meet the deceased before, i can feel that he is a great man with strong fighting spirit. one thing different is that in Malaysia, the coffin is usually slowly pushed in to the 'fire box'. but here, it happened so fast. once they open the door, the undertaker wearing a mask, bbrrooofff ..... in a high speed, the coffin was wheeled or pushed in to burn. i was standing quite near to the 'fire box'. when the door was open, i can feel the high temperature, no wonder the undertaker pushing the button for the coffin had to wear a mask where you usually see those metal or goldsmith wearing.
after that, i went to school to continue my class before going to work. finished work at 1.30am!
Day 245 - school ... work ... sleep
Day 244 - school ... work ... sleep. for my new assignment which is product shooting, i borrowed a 15th anniversary johnie walker whisky from boss to shoot. it took me so long just to get a good shot. and yet i had to photoshop to combine a few images to make it perfect.
got a call from Theresa asking for a favour. one of SGINZ member(M'sian) just passed away and the family wanted a photographer to document the funeral. i agreed to it. it will be my 1st funeral shoot. abit scared but i'll do my best.
