ABOUT CHO-ME
I was born in the 60s in beautiful Singapore, worked in the Financial and IT fields in my younger days, currently as an administrator.
When I was small I like taking photos simply for the love of camera, the sound of the shutter, and to capture everything for memory.
At Seven, without knowledge about photography, I bought an inexpensive simple but real camera, it was broken shortly with a pitch black photo taken.
At Ten, I bought my next camera which was an automatic color model, slim, long, held and click horizontally like a James Bond spy camera, that begun the capture of my many memorable moments.
I took a lot of pictures but not of myself with my camera in action, and am thankful for this priceless capture taken by a friend from an adjacent platform in about year 1980, I was about 16, a group of us friends were at Kukup jetty in Johor Bahru - Malaysia, for their famous seafood dishes.
The SLR camera I used was a Yashica FX-3, a faithful buddy I used up to the nascent digital imaging era.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
After the turn of the century, inspired by the allure of Film Noir and the works of many brilliant photographers, photography in Fine Art takes on a special meaning in my life, leading me towards a creative fulfillment of expressing photographs in styles I love and envisioned.
