Big Fat Smiler's photostream

Big Fat Smiler is a senseless pseudonym for a Secondary school boy who thinks too highly of himself. He longs to see the world and see culture and clearly isn't prepared for it because he is only fourteen (turning fifteen this year). Although so, he lives his life daily focused on attaining that dream- to be able to see, appreciate and love the various cultures of the world.

Meanwhile, his training includes Saturday shootouts with his beloved photography buds at various prominent locations in Singapore where he resides. Although some of them (one actually) do not enjoy these go down and dirty shootings, he makes them do so anyway.

He also loves commenting on the things he sees and experiences in the nuances of daily life- especially the suburban environment he lives in. This is despite his love for all things packed and crazy.

Like being on the train in the rush hour while purposely reading his new novel therefore annoying everybody else because he is enjoying himself in the book world while all the other boring commuters are just but staring into space sulking that they have to take the kinda sucky public transport.

He enjoys his Photographic lifestyle tremendously. He uses a Konica Minolta DiMage XG for Point and Shoot situations and a Canon 400D with Kit Lens (because he's too poor and amateurish to get anything better) to shoot. He also inherited a Nikon F3 from his father who's lenses are now so filled with mould that it can't shoot anymore.


This is himself on a photoshoot at Little India having fun being avant garde and taking bimbo shots with a SLR from a lorry's mirror while showing completely retarded facial expressions. He considers it a good exercise for his facial muscles.

He hasn't been much of a successful photographer ever since he started on the September of 2005. It's been one year six months since he started.

It's not the standards of other's photos he wishes to achieve. It's his own.
