A little while ago a bunch of us took a trip down to Kampung Baru to do a little street photography and take in some of the excitement over the elections in one of the remaining Kampung settlements in KL.
It was Kim’s first street photography trip and she did really well! Dree also joined us.
The light wasn’t great as it was overcast – meaning fairly flat light giving a natural lack of contrast and saturation. It was ok though, just warming up for many more great street photo journeys into our city of Kuala Lumpur.
Hoping to get to know the city better, and document it to share with others around the world.
BN over PAS
There was two parties dominant in Kampung Baru, BN and PAS – didn’t see anything from any of the others.
KLCC Backdrop
This fellas face was plastered everywhere, even this decrepit old table had no escape.
There was some interesting details around Kampung Baru showing the urban decay.
And the lawless motorcyclists with no helmets…nonchalantly driving past police cars.
PAS or Sun? I like the juxtaposition of the symbols in this one.
Time for some delicious Malay food in the middle of the shoot – I kena tourist price of course..
No Go
PAS goodies
There were also some normal shops operating as usual.
And a stark contrast between the old and the new.
Shortly after we finished eating a torrential downpour occurred…which cut our outing short. We then buggered off to Starbucks where we spent the rest of the night pissing in the wind 🙂

Photography trip to Kampung Baru
The Old/New shot looks great, especially with the looming dark clouds. What a shot.
my favourite is the sun and pas flag shot. symbolical but can be interpreted in two extreme meaning hehe
Aaaahhh Kg. Baru, love the variety of food there, sorry to hear that you kena tourist price.
PAS or SUN? Nice shot!
