An image or likeness of the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared on the glass pane of the new wing of the Sime Darby Medical Centre (formerly Subang Jaya Medical Centre) a few days ago. When I arrived there late afternoon today, there was a crowd of Catholics congregating in the rain. Many were silently in prayers, seeking blessings or simply awestruck.
Not just the umbrella but your camera as well. Water spatter on the lens creates a special softness, mutes the colours; capturing the realism of the moment. As a photographer, welcome the rain along with the sunshine.
The monsoon has been raining an ocean almost every afternoon. It may have dampened business but not the spirit of the traders at the Deepavali Bazaar in Little India Brickfields. A shop there decided to shrink-wrap the pavement where I was walking. Naturally, it presented an unusual and interesting subject for the camera 🙂
