Exhibitions
The Unguarded Moment by Steve McCurry
19 Jun 2009 – 19 Jul 2009
@ Shaw Foundation Foyer, ACM Empress Place

We started excitedly

A museum trip was a great way to start the day,Janice and I were excited,especially I was,it was the very first thing that I planned to see the moment I touched down.Like a cliche,higher expectations leads to greater disappointment.The event was sponsored by Epson,who disappointed me,with the printing and the mounting /framing,well I guessed that HP did very good jobs with photo exhibition,the most prominent ones being Russell Lee at SAM(Singapore Art Museum) years old,but the HP prints were really impressive.

Suddenly,the everyone was impressed by this Afghan girl.She was a big hit,in fact,personally,she was his big hit.Like marriage,you need diligence ,faith ,fate and techniques/skills.Diligence for having so many tries,faith for not giving up ,fate for meeting the right person at the right time,skill to captivate and capture the person in the way you wanted.Like I need faith to continue to be diligent enough to continue dating so that I have the fate to meet the right man at the right time and to captivate his attention and capture him to make him mine.

After Steve McCurry successfully married her into his photography life ,published June 1985( not too sure of the month),he became a member of Magnum Photos in 1986.So,has the marriage bought him the peak of his career?I would jolly well bless it with a toast!

Steve McCurry has always been inspiration to me,he was introduced to me by my professional photographer friend ,who was then just an poly grad who bought his first DSLR,he told me,if you love India and photography so much,you should check him out.I was dumbfounded.His pictures were spiritual,soulful,serene and spelt simplity.I had found my idol.Steve McCurry.

I contemplated,did my finances,one day,after my second India trip,I realised that I needed a DSLR,I needed to be an active member of Steve McCurry worshipper.

Too few panels for his greatness

Like many,her favourite

My favourite!

This picture speaks so much of patience of waiting for the ladies’ mood to dance ,tolerance of the sand storm brewing,timely occurance.PRICELESS

From: http://www.acm.org.sg/exhibitions/eventdetail.asp?eventID=506
As a photographer, Steve McCurry is sustained by the rhythms of everyday life: the routines of herding and fishing; the chanting of prayers and the hawking of wares. His first solo exhibition in Singapore, The Unguarded Moment is suggestive of the vast tapestry of human experience and his chance encounters with silhouette and shadow, water and light, spire and sky.

This exhibition hopes to create a visceral sense of the beauty and wonder he is confronted with during his travels of over 30 years throughout Asia, when the shock of the strange rubs against the delight of the familiar. The Unguarded Moment presents a selection of Steve McCurry’s iconic photographs such as the “Afghan Girl” alongside unpublished, never before seen photographs captured throughout his photographic career.

Admission to this exhibition is FREE.THANK GOD,its free,its just a 15 min walk

Stars:1/5 ( pictures on the internet seems better,better in quality and greater in quantity)

seeing is believing,this exhibition is an understatement.
