Artist's Comments

These are metal chinese character typefaces used for printing... so many of them lined up in an antique box. Found it in this funky little shop along along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lok in Malacca. I would have loved to get a closer shot with more detail of the characters, but i forgot to bring my macro filter with me on the trip and this was as close as I could get. I kinda like how there are little gaping areas, probably for missing typefaces, which really is a pity! I would love the have this in my house, as a piece of antique decor... hehe :) (Smile)

Camera: Canon EOS 300
Film: Fuji Superia X-TRA 400

Great job!! I do see what you mean from what you said on ICQ... But I think it adds to the charm, and really adds to the abstract feel. It keeps it simple. Those patches of red are a nice touch as well :D (Big Grin)

oh la la i thought it was some kinda tiles when i first saw it..when i looked closer it's actually small metal chinese charachter.. kinda brings me back to the days when i was in form 1 or 2 when we had this craze for necklaces that had small metal boxes that had each of the letters of our names engraved on it. haha


nice colors and disguy2k was right, the right patches really add up sum spice to it!

I totally understand what you mean in your description -- I was hoping by viewing the full size image i would get a nice swatch of clarity in the DOF -- but its not enough of a macro to provide that. Nice idea though.
