[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
After yesterday's posting on one of the twins of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, today the inside out.
Around 5:30 it was pretty easy to walk in with the cleaners and some other personnel. Guess security is confident enough from the control room where they monitor the cameras. In the meantime I was monitoring my camera and caught this security guard passing by below me.
Being in such an incredibly big building, seemingly on your own, makes you feel quite tiny and lonely. In a sense you hope to be found, to be seen by someone at some point. The following song of Del Amitri suits the situation:


Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol

And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow.


Technical note:
Shot it from the hand with VR on. Results are probably better from the tripod. Picture is cropped and slightly sharpened. Resized and a frame around it.

Hi Dennis,

You've got your way here and you have a D200 in hand now! So KLCC is real quiet yeah...Well good. Cause during normal working hours it is really busy with shoppers, working personnel and people in transition of train walking around.

Hallo Dennis,
Ik had gallery nog niet eerder gezien, maar om deze kan ik niet heen. Vind de manier waarop je hem gecomponeerd hebt en de manier van presenteren erg goed. De kleurtoning is werkelijk schitterend, ook al is hij wat aan de zachte kant. Die persoon geeft precies de juiste verhouding weer van de omgeving.
Prima stukje werk...mag zoiets graag zien.
Groet, Henk

Hi Dennis
Congrats on getting your new Nikon D200. You must be busy discovering its potentials, judging from the 2 photos that you have posted to date. Hope to see more photos of your stay in Asia.

BTW, please email me the address of Desmond.

Cheers / Steven
