Inspired by nature...

Yesterday, I headed to Sebastiao Salgado's GENESIS exhibition at the National History Museum. It was the last weekend of the exhibition and the tickets were sold out. Two of my colleagues raved about it and I knew I had to see it. It was so inspiring to see how he captured nature and culture through black and white photos. What you see here are some of the photos I took in 2011 during a trip to Thailand but only just processed today.

man vs cat

For those who know about the story of Charles and the cat on Phi Phi island, this series of photos will amuse you. This was taken in the early morning after a sleepless night where we got bitten by mosquitoes alive outside our hotel room.  We discovered 'bed bugs' on our bed which stranded us OUTSIDE the room, leaving us with no choice but to sleep on an open hammock. It proved to be an unreliable choice and we ended up hanging out by the beach, totally exhausted. We were waiting for the hotel reception to open in order to complain and check out. During this time, this anonymous cat decided to 'bug' us which was not exactly what we needed.
