My Photo
Hi! I'm JW, welcome to my blog. my craft of interests ranged from digital, analogue to rangefinder. i captured things that moves me. i started my craft chronically in landscape, travel, sport, macro and fashion. 2010 ends, i ditched all my gears. i wanted to experience the world with my raw eyes while redefine my space. it's never really about the gears but vision and inspiration. 4 months battling my life without photography, i'm back. Resurrecting my crafts! i know i'd complained so much about my country, but i love Malaysia. yet, just because it's a home, it doesn't mean we have to accept and compliance with the current state of the country. To be proud of one's country is one thing, but to be proud, oblivious, ignorant to problems is a whole different matter. Feel free to contact me for any enquiries [@] heejennwei@yahoo.com

TCxG- the Freedom Clique

Populations are growing, the world is shrinking. but why go camping?

Everyday, cities are expanding borders and infringing on surrounding lands and forests. My government does no good in preserving forests nor public lands. Eventually, the opportunities for memorable camping experiences are getting fewer and farther between. The biggest Rare Earth Plant (Lynas Advance Material Plant) will start operating early next year, despite public objections. FULL Story click here. My government doesn't want to hear our cries anymore, people don't matter to them anymore. This, could be the last of our annual camping clique, as it's merely a distance of 20 kilometers from the Rare Earth Plant.

"the land is so rich, why should we suffer like this?" -pak samad-
 i cried. 

Escaping routines of ordinary life, rejuvenating our soul. Sitting down the campfire, gazing upon the stars, listening to the sound of waves, pacifying our mind. Camping teaches us resilience. It builds courage, it teaches us about our strengths, weaknesses...and for enjoyment of beauty in nature.

For respect the Mother Earth, for she who gives us life.

take nothing but pictures
leave nothing but footprints
kill nothing but time.

Regards,
JW
