A guest writer/photographer? Well, why not? These guys (Kaz and Wira) have been asking me with much patience to share some of my photos and my personal thoughts in regards to the pictures I took. My only concern is that while this is a travel blog (obviously) that would only make good sense to post photos of places you have been to, my subject of interest in photography as I have come to discover, is human being. Why? Because human beings are full of thoughts (the sane human being, that is). And taking somebody's picture, and then guessing and meddling with the mystery of what goes inside his/her head or what is happening in that moment while that picture is taken is what I do. So when I told them of my concept, the abrupt respond was "Just post it!". The reply makes me wonder whether they are sincere or whether they have run out of material to post in this blog.
One more thing, the only true fact of what is described in these photos are only the venues. The descriptions of the subjects and what the subject does or think in the photos are generally fictional. They are more of noting the hypothetical probabilities of what is going on in those photos. Hence the title 'Probabilities'. Salam. Ariffin
