In Blissful state

Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 7 February 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

While waiting to go up the cave.. this kavadi bearer is spending a moment to himself. He is in his normal state of consciousness without the trance. I spoke to him after the shot if he is allright, he smiled and hand gestured OK!

Hi guys!, After contemplating for so long, I have finally decided to put out my images for sale in my own photo sales site. Please visit http://www.e-ttl.com to view the site and if you see anything you like, let me know. This is a " Truly Malaysian" site that sells images from Malaysia.

So, I officially pronounce my site open for sales!! Thousands of thanks to aminus3 members and web owners to be a good friend and a true compatriot in photography to all budding photographers to be able to display their works in a blog format for free. I truly salute the aminus3 team for being very kind and humane to all of us. I wish you all the greatest of success.

Thank you.

Thanks Manuela... I like to shoot the colors as accurately as possible... I rarely use RAW format though.. and most of the time my 17-85 mm IS is very dependable...

(btw.. this pic is shot by my wife using my camera.. so the credit goes to her! :) )

Cheers!

Wow. I have never seen a Kavadi when I was there in Tamil Nadu. Nice to see this from Malaysia.
