KL Photography Festival 2008


     One of the things I was keeping a lookout for, ever since rekindling my interest in photography, are events like exhibitions or seminars to attend.  Ok, ok, I have also been walking into almost every camera shop in every mall I go to looking out for lenses and accessories to add to my small, but steadily growing gear.  But that, I shall save for another post.  Fortunately for me, today is when the KL Photography Festival (KLPF) 2008 starts.  Its a two day event held, this time, at Berjaya Times Square.  There's a host of activities including talks, photo shoots with a professional model (I heard it is Amber Chia..), and the obligatory equipment sales at the booths.

     You can get some details from the PhotoMalaysia forum, where I've just signed up as a member.  The good folks from PM will also host a booth there, as I found out from the forum entries.

     So I'm looking forward to going there today to check things out, maybe learn a few tips and, of course, see if I can get any new gear for a good discount.  If you're a photo buff at any level, this would be an event you'd want to visit.

     My only gripe is that it clashes with the Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner show a.k.a the MotoGP weekend at Sepang, which is also happening today and tomorrow.  But, since Rossi has already closed the deal this year, I guess I'll be going to KLPF, with my wife and kids in tow...
