Yesterday (MY time), I had the change to finally get out and shoot. To be real honest, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe with myself, maybe with the area I shot, I am not quite sure which. The day before Alou and I were in George Town (Is this city spelled with one word or two, I see it every way?) looking for furniture for the house. I kept seeing great images. So, yesterday afternoon I grabbed my camera and took Jessie out and we went to take some pictures. Out of the handful of people I try to take a snap of, most asked me not to, very suppressing. I will say this, they all were Chinese. So maybe this makes a difference. Mr. Goh and Mr. Tan could not understand why people cared and were eager to have their photo's taken. So
HERE are a few images from the first day of real shooting in Penang.
By the way, if anyone knows how to embed a slimbox gallery like the one I used here, into a blog please email me and let me know how to do it. But until then, if you want to view the photos from yesterday click the image above and travel to the gallery.

Ahem! Excuse me young man. I beg to differ.
I think you will find the photos from the BANGKOK Photo Walk offer a depth and breadth of quality as yet unparalleled amongst photo walk portfolios.
(Although some of yours are quite nice I suppose)
;)
Hmmm, well I will be nice and say your temples shots are very ...temple..ee, er - nice. But, my folks caught the essence of Georgetown, and what can I say they had a great walk leader!
Cheeky monkey!
Looks like you had a great time Matt and it seems, like me, you're really impressed with the shots that have been uploaded so far. I agree, choosing a winner will be tough.
After your suggestion, I posted the walk details on a few local photo forums and was delighted to see so many local photographers at the event. I made some firm friends and we've agreed to meet up again to do something similar in the future.
If I had been in Penang I'd have enjoyed joining your group and no doubt agreed with you about the Georgetown walk leader's abilities.
Nice to be able to share this with you Matt.
Cheers!
Gavin, I have every intention of getting up to BKK this year. Just don't know when. Save a space on your couch!
