Prison Wall Photographs

The disuse 120-year-old Pudu Jail in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is currently in the process of being torn down. I’ve been trying to enter and photograph the inner sanctum where the hardest of criminals had been kept, but to no avail.

So I was left with little option but to photograph just the outer prison wall. Recently, members of a lomography club in Kuala Lumpur pasted hundreds of photographs and attracted attention from passers-by, including the media.

I came there the next day to see what the fuss was all about but many of the lomos had been torn down; except for some.

But my model was reluctant to pose, and I became too self-conscious, with people staring, to be able to take any decent shot.

If the colour looks a bit different, it was because I shot these pictures with in-camera digital filters applied.
