And landscapes are breathtaking, are they not?
There is something magical about every single sunset, each and every single one of them is so vaguely distinct, same yet different, colorful yet subdued. No two sunsets are ever the same, and there are so many wonderful lessons to be learnt from just shooting them, or appreciating them.
What is photography to me? I guess Kafka said it best - "We photograph things in order to drive them out of our minds." All my photographs are created from the vision I had when I pressed the shutter, and every single one of them is lovingly processed, especially the personal favourites.
I found photography when I least expected it; it started off as something to fill time, now it has grown into something that means so much more to me - you could say it is my life. The hobby has changed me somewhat - it has opened my eyes more, it has taught me patience, the hardest lesson to learn of all.. It's everything.
And then I met her, and just when I thought I couldn't be any more thankful, I was proven wrong. :)

-we're the ones who still believe;
and we're looking for a page
in that lifeless book of hope
where a dream might help you cope

*iskandar says:
"WK (night86mare) is one of my first few photography connections. I still remember how his masterpieces awed me on a local online forum and how they became dear inspirations for my own craft. Constantly giving valued and honest feedbacks, WK has made me assess my own works and further improve myself.
I love his way of thinking and how they translate to visual treats with a niche in lights and composition. My personal favourite is the fabulous seascapes shots he has to share with the world.
Wishing you the best of luck in your endeavors, bro."19th July, 2009

"night86mare is really a master in landscape shots, especially in IR and HDR.
He's a person who is willing to share his knowledge (and yes, he is young, but mind you, he is very wise).
People who personally chat with him will know that he is a humble guy and is someone who is sincere in giving his true view with a good intention.
His shots tends to inspire people to pick up their camera and go shoot.
Especially his street shots with his Sigma 10-20. Breaking the rule gracefully.
But sorry, not everyone can shoot like him.
He knows his stuff, for sure.
And once again, thanks bro, for your help and guidance!"18th April, 2008

"I will like to write this testimony to affirm night86mare. I get to know him in one of the photography forum. Anytime I have a question he will always be the first one to give me his advice and guidance. I am really appreciating his time taken to spell out every single concept of photography to me in a very comprehensive style.
Not to forget his photography techniques. He has done very well in taking landscape in various formats whether it is in IR or HDR he has definitely push the Digital Still Camera to its limit. I believe even some users of DSLR can’t match his standards. Do continue to take more beautiful photos. Look forward to see more of your artwork."17th April, 2007

"An unconventional eye with more than a streak of eccentricity, potent ingredients for creativity. Also a deep silent learner: like a sponge, soaks up everything without being seen as wet."

"Knew him only recently, humble person. He is a unique shooter, the first IR one that I have met so far. His landscape pictures are really cool and wonderful. Not armed with a DSLR, he is superbly good at producing stunning images that made me favourited so many of them. Hope to see more of your great landscape pics yes? =)"
