    1. You know, I have had a really hard week at work. I had to put together a 400 slide PPT (no jokes there) + do a second draft of another PPT and make a facilitator guide & that was hard hard work. Plus still doing photos at lunch and after work. But that’s really cool, because now my week has finished (holiday tomorrow) and besides it makes everything really intense, like everything seems so continuous and I don’t ever ever ever feel like I stop. Mind you I could do with some more sleep, because I am tired-as.

    2. Getting an email back from Juice Malaysia to ask if I wanted to take some photos at Zouk tomorrow and if I wanted to be on the guest list. Um, yes please!!! Makes me feel like a superstar!!!

    3. Then also getting tweeted about on Juice’s twitter: @JuiceMy
    New street fashion photographer Outré will be in KL tomorrow and we would like to see you dress your best at TAG! http://ow.ly/1gUwV MY

    And if you want to keep up with Outré on twitter, facebook or RSS feed, look in the side column at the right for links. Thanks and enjoy :)

I saw this guy while I was sitting on the red seats outside Ion Orchard and straight away I just had to get his photo. It could be easy to say that men are easier to shoot (or choose to shoot) because all they have to do is wear, say, a suit and they’ll look good. But that is utter bullshit. There are plenty of men who look like crap in a suit, or rather wear crap suits. Which is why I had to get this shot as the suit has definitely been cut and made for him. See the way the shoulders sit well, the sleeves of the arms ending so they show just the ends of the cuffs, the way the breast has just enough room to sit without being too loose or too tight.



And even though I’ve only mentioned the suit and the YSL bag in the title, the shoes are just gorgeous, really, they are. I want to say that they are cherry brown, so I will, that slight redness in the brown. Very nice. And you know he had the best accent, like a very well educated accent – at first I thought it had this slightest hint French, but then it was in fact this very well educated accent. And there is nothing wrong with that, because as far as I’m concerned he was inclusive, like he didn’t snob the chance to have his photo taken or to let me take his photo. And that’s the most important thing to me, that people are inclusive. Am I making any sense?

    1. As I was walking into the MRT station this morning (with pants absolutely soaked from the rain despite having an umbrella and rolling my pants up to the knee), I saw this girl who was probably about seven or eight, following along behind her mother, and she could barely keep her eyes open, like she looked totally more than half asleep. I think she walked two steps with eyes closed and then one step with them open, just to check she was following mum. Gorgeous.

    2. Then this evening we went for dinner at the foodcourt at Velocity (Novena), and on the table behind us were two deaf ladies talking to each other in sign language. I had my back to them, but there was this electrifying silence, and I kept taking real cheeky peeks back to see them – it looks so cool! And I realized that sign language must go across the world, so it doesn’t matter if you’re English or Chinese or Eskimo or Pigmy (going a bit extreme here), it’s the same. That’s my guess anyway. But the really great thing – all of a sudden they must have signed something really funny to each other, because they both started laughing out-loud. It was fantastic. They seemed like very good friends.

    3. & honestly – getting the photo of the girl in black today – she looked great. I really like that photo.

The weather today was great. Rain, and lots of it. It was cooler, the visibility was greater and people seemed to have dressed up more. So it was great for taking photographs.

I saw this young lady standing at the traffic lights waiting for them to change so she could cross, and I was like “shall I, shan’t I?” because she was listening to her iPod. However, she was really cool about having her photo taken, and I love, but just love the black all in one – it’s such a great canvas for the white pendant which kind of reminds me of Barbara Hepworth sculptures. She also has this fantastic sense of height with the high waist and long sweeping legs of the pants, doesn’t she?



And her eyes, almost cat-like, very beautiful. A very attractive young lady in black.



Then I saw this guy outside @313 Somerset and the pants caught my eye straight away – love the warm orange, very natural style, color and tone. Hence calling him “Earthy Guy”.



He was a bit surprised that I wanted to take his photo – when I said that I thought he was well dressed he was like “am I?!”
