Operating under a droopy canvas on side lanes, the street barber is now a rarity in the city. This one in Chinatown KL survives on tourists and backpackers who appreciate the old world charm and unique experience of a public haircut.

To use an ultrawide-angle lens for street photography, you cannot be shy either. You would need to engage strangers as the lens works best up-close. Contrary to what many think, it is not just for taking everything in from afar. The beauty of this specialised lens is how it affects perspective and exaggerate scale when positioned very near.

Today is the brightest, sunniest afternoon since the festive bazaar began a week ago. Photographed with the Olympus OM-D and the Panasonic Lumix 7-14mm lens.

Imagine a paradise where every adult and child is playing with a device that requires no battery and it has no screen. Can that be possible? Yes. It happens only for a few hours every Sunday at the Kite Park. Photographed with the Olympus OM-D, Pana Ultrawide Lens and Olympus Dramatic Tone Art Filter.
