Watchers

Been too long since I last submitted, Couldn't get the grasp on things then.

Without personal experiences, I would not know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

---

During my absence I took upon the D200 and played around and understood some concepts better to appreciate the new face of digital photography and its other phenomenons like the iphone-gram-sub culture which quickly baited 'trendy' lomo-hipsters. But I'll still remain with my trusty mechanical toys, there's just a sense of content with them, that or the fact that I am not 'enticed' into reviewing photos I just took and start wondering into a never ending thought process of 'what-ifs' and 'how is it'. It distracts my street shoot methodology of 'flâneur '.

---

Over the next few weeks, I will be uploading from 2 rolls of Kodak's tx400, they were in my camera for close to a year which I'm grateful it did not turn into a roll of fungi. Maybe someday I will start back some fun Holga shoots again, when I'm in much better states.

Seeing how there's been quite a drop of the once active folks whom I've been following or followed by the past 2 years, though not much of a surprise there. We live in a much more comprehensive and ever-changing digital age, thus I will be promoting my works trough my FB page as well as my G+ account listed below and need your help in spreading the word about (but if you don't I still like you; anonymous you.)

F. Azrafael R.
Artist | Hobbyist | Photography
Singapore
Azrafael is a Singaporean who grew up in the island state. He shares a close relationship to the ever changing times and records the present as he sees through his lens conveyed via his thoughts.

His conviction to keep his photography unique in its form probably let his viewers over the years identify it as his signature style.

Ranging from architectural facades, street scenes, conceptual and sometimes the surreal has made his works synonymous to his tag line ‘Flâneur Fotografi’ which basically means aimless photography with each in its own splendor.

Photography is something which he truly enjoy doing as a hobby. He dwells more on the classic art form of film photography aesthetics.

His motto is simply put as "flâneur fotografi".

"The photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitering, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of voluptuous extremes. Adept of the joys of watching, connoisseur of empathy, the flâneur finds the world 'picturesque'", Susan Sontag in her 1977 essay, On Photography.
