Daniel Benoît, a photographer who’s been following my work for a few years, told me how frustrating it was for him not to be able to spend more time looking at the photos in my slideshow. From my point of view, that’s also the biggest drawback of sharing photos in this way. The upside is that you can string photos together to show a lot of them in a very short space of time, but it’s true that I’m just like Daniel – I like to take my time when I look at a photo.

What can I say about these first few days in Malaysia? OMG! In recent years, we’d already visited two other major Asian cities: Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City. Well, Kuala Lumpur is even more modern! One thing that’s quite different from Thailand and Vietnam is that there’s very little going on here early in the morning. I’d been planning to get up early and make the most of it for some street photography, but that’s out of the question!
