When : In the 1990s, me thinks!
Purpose : Tandem cycling adventure with visually-handicapped bikers
What was moi doing? : Well, me short legs couldn't reach the tandem bike pedals, so I was cycling solo along with several others equally physically-challenged on a tandem. I did tandem with Mart though on the way back and gotta tell you this : it was a pretty scary experience having to coordinate and depend on the fella in front of you.....literally, blind faith (excuse the pun)! But not as scary an experience as Pillon Ping kara-o-k-ing at the back of Mart!
Fellow bikers : Gene, Mart, Weisin, Ping (can't remember if Ying was there), think Winston and Vivien bro-sis team were with us too and several members from the Visually-Handicapped association, who enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
Real life conversation :
Merciless : Oh, I went tandem-cycling with the visually-handicapped!
Sotong : Oh really? That's great! So.....how does it work? Who was riding in front...and who was pillon?
I kid you not!
What do the photos above have to do with tandem-cycling?
Well, while camping in the Kulai forest, we had some free time. Gene, who has since become my brother-in-law, rounded up the bunch of us for some camera action! He started toying around with some groovy night photography techniques which produced pretty awesome images! Wonder if we caught anything or anyone that we weren't supposed to? Spoooo-keeeyyy!
Can't quite remember how this shot (and the others in Ping Space Cadet's Blog by the same name : Once upon a time to Kulai we rode) was choreographed, but I think it's probably the same low-light and/or extended-exposure photography concept explained in this website : http://www.daveltd.com/photo/low-light/concepts/.
Remember to check out the rest of the photos in Ping's blog : http://ping.fotopages.com/?entry=195610! Makes me wana take up photography!!!
