The website may be experiencing some technical issues as I try redesign a new look for the site. Thank you for your patience.
Che’ Ahmad Azhar’s Best 12 of 2010
February 9th, 2011Today’s notable mention is Che’ Ahmad Azhar, whose street photography which predominantly takes place in good ol’ Kuala Lumpur work blew me away. I got the link from Vig (who else), and I must say this is impressive stuff.

Egyptian protesters’ makeshift helmets – in pictures
February 7th, 2011Sometimes, even the quirkiest things can make a great focal subject. Even if it’s in the midst of conflict.
Happy Monday!

White Maneki Cat
January 29th, 2011I know my website says “Munira Photography”, but I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t share some cool stuff that I find. Things don’t always necessarily have to be Munira-centric, right? Once in awhile, I come across a series of photo essays that make me go, “Wow! I must share this with the world!”
I always get great stuff from my friend Vignes Balasingam who, by the way, is a prolific photographer himself. He recently shared with me this amazing work by Japanese photographers, Miyoko Ihara and Junya Watanuki. Because I love cats, this series obviously caught my attention. I won’t say what it’s about here – I’ll let the photos tell the heart-warming tale themselves.

This week in pictures
January 28th, 2011
Boston.com published this week in pictures – and this time the focus is on the recent revolution in Tunisia and the current unrest in Egypt.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has just sent the entire nation into a communications blackhole.
This moment of silence has never been more eerie.

Canon and Nikon: A Romeo and Juliet love story
January 27th, 2011Once in awhile, I come across silly things like this that amuses me that I just had to share. It’s quite a clever satire on the Nikon vs Canon war, me thinks.

For the curious, I shoot with a Canon.

Photography overkill
January 24th, 2011It’s Monday, so I’ll keep it short and sweet.
Thaipu Photo Fair (aka Photography Overkill) by Michael Thessel, while amusing, simply speaks volume.

Three Women
January 23rd, 2011Three Women by Eric Maierson is an absorbing piece of work – elegantly executed, short yet bittersweet. It’s a brilliantly structured photo essay combined with voice-over that made the whole presentation both substantial and compelling. The story may be fictional, yet I believe it is something that many of us can identify with.
Three Women is a short film about women in pain, struggling to make sense of their lives. It is a series of stories reduced to their emotional essence. This is a fictional piece but one that is also true. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/three-women
Simultaneously, my dear friend Alicia Izharuddin and I have been talking about doing a photo essay for a feminist-zine that’s currently in the works. Alicia, a PhD student also from Malaysia majoring in Gender Studies at SOAS London, is the writer of Dove Grey Matter – a blog devoted to discussing current affairs that involve women, gender issues, the LGBT community and many more. Do take the time to read her essays. I am excited at this prospect, because it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Let’s see how things pan out, as both Alicia and I currently have priorities which we need to sort out.
p/s: I forgot to mention before, but there’s a new link above. Yes, I finally got around to putting up my wedding portfolio. Check it out!

Vivian Maier
January 8th, 2011
Imaginative. Reclusive. Private.
Vivian Maier is magic and inspiring. I dare say she’s like the Daphne du Maurier of street photography.

Friday
January 7th, 2011A find from my archives of “rejects”. Perhaps I should consider reassessing my previous work.
