The TIME That Was . . . ...but not anymore

Backlanes can really be intriguing. Many people tend to not wanting to pass by such a place wondering what things may lurk around the dark corners of such places, or merely because they don't find the need to do so. However, given the chance, you may find a treasure-chest full of stuffs to document.

I was with a bunch of gear-heads photographying such backlanes in the heart of Kuala Lumpur when I stumbled upon this scene and took a photo of it. With the bunch knowing my specialty in 'making the strange familiar and the familiar strange,' they tried their hands at it as well but failed.

When published on my website, a friend of mine from CNN showed his Time-Warner colleagues the photo, they couldn't help but laugh out loud all day as it showed so much sublime stories by just looking at it. Was there a tragedy that caused such wreck? Was there a happy ending to the stall that once sold the magazine? It truly was, to them, a time that stood still in this work.

Keep 'making the strange familiar, and the familiar all the more stranger'...

You'll get somewhere!
