\nUrbanscapes 2012, 24th November 2012, at Padang Astaka, Petaling Jaya, was a congregation of the arts, culture and arty entrepreneurship. Here’s Ching Ching and Seng Kiat!<\/p>\n

Oh wait, what’s that in the background, on the left?<\/p>\n


\nOur beloved buddy.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t remember whose shades I borrowed to blend in with modern-day hipsters in this admittedly hipster festival. I must be one, too, since I’ve not missed a single one.<\/p>\n


\nBeanbags for sale. Here’s one put to good use.<\/p>\n


\nThis was also known as a mud fest, for good reason.<\/p>\n


\nHobbies of times gone by.<\/p>\n


\nMariana just needs a star around one eye to complement the bowler’s hat.<\/p>\n


\nKOLUMPO. I’m not sure what was going on here, but I did catch KOLUMPO in 2013, an excellent, underrated movie with 3 solid stories by 3 directors. I’d never have imagined they would portray the first story on Malaysian cinema!<\/p>\n


\nThere were also tents with air-conditioning, and people who came prepared with boots.<\/p>\n


\nOutdoors.<\/p>\n


\nQuite a cool installation, that showed two different designs from two sides. Behind it were 2 more designs, but not as clearly distinct as this one.<\/p>\n


\nYou can also see the earlier installation on the left. As is tradition, there would always be these giant letters to pose with.<\/p>\n


\nSometimes, you have to ask what these installations mean…<\/p>\n


\nA familiar face shoots familiar people.<\/p>\n


\nCipoi\/Saiful, founder of Crooz!<\/p>\n


\nBrian Kwan with a funky hairdo.<\/p>\n


\nNot sure who this deejay is.<\/p>\n


\nPanels of self-expression.<\/p>\n


\nAn old school bus! Very cool stall indeed!<\/p>\n


\nA new wave of new wave, with Enterprise<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nThen, on the main stage, a flourescent Darren Ashley<\/b> with his unseparatable twin Kaoss pads.<\/p>\n


\nHis keyboardist\/bassist plays bass on keyboard synth. They were joined by The Impatient Sisters<\/b> for their collaboration, Mana Diriku<\/i>!<\/p>\n


\nAll shots with the Sony Alpha 99, Sony Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 24mm F2.0 ZA SSM and Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA.<\/p>\n


\nSpotted Diana Lian, Darren’s manager, way in the back! Also, Isaac Ravi’s alter-ego.<\/p>\n


\nUrbanscapes this time was a two-day fest, and featured Sigur Ros<\/b> to close the next night.<\/p>\n


\nThis isn’t an eBow…<\/p>\n


\nThen came fireworks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
