“Our Kuching : the Vanishing Street Cats of Singapore” is a book of stray cat photos compiled by Jon Boon, capturing the beauty of the street cats of Singapore. I have been invited to give a short talk at the book launch and decided it would be a good challenge if I could squeeze enough information about shooting cats into a 20 minute talk. I will be sharing some ‘tricks’ used to caputre images like

Also a little action

Dukaki Party 2010

nick — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 18:03:26 +0000

Ever attended a cat party? Well this was my first one and it happened to be the party of the very awesome Duke Orange. He is a celebrity in the social media space with a twitter account, facebook page, tumblr blog and even a formspring account to cater to questions about his Bao (steamed bun) obsessions. During the lead up to his party, he invited his fans (aka Dukaki which means duke’s kaki’s where kaki means follower) to donate to the Cat Welfare’s Society’s (CWS)Spay day fund. The reason why was because Duke was found via CWS

Full event photos are at the facebook page

The pre-event donations hit $1.7k!. Their ears are tipped to show that they have been sterilized There was also some fund raisers and auctions during the event , we are still awaiting for duke to announce the amounts!

Here you see the list of potential names he was supposed to be called. Orange slut is my fav

The handsome boy in the fur

I had loads of fun and all for a good cause too! Hope you enjoyed the photos

Prince and Coco’s Pawty

nick — Sun, 31 Oct 2010 03:39:49 +0000

I was invited to Prince and Coco’s Pawty about 2 weeks ago and got to spend a lovely relaxing afternoon with Jazz, her pack and lots of other dogs! having about 15 shelties in a single location can certainly be quite a mess but given how they are all obedience trained it was not so bad. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The full set of pictures can be found at over at this gallery.

Dogs Day Out @ Cafe Del Mar

nick — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:18:41 +0000

The reason I left the dog walk early was to hang around with Ozzy, Bear and Bruno at Cafe Del Mar for their Pooch Day Out! Luckily the rain had already let up and with the cloud cover it was not too hot for the dogs.

Ozzy taking a drink before hitting the beach.

Bruno decides to go skinny dipping while Ozzy decides to be more conservative..

Ozzy did a few short swims…

While the two big ones had lots of fun fetching the balls.

Bear with his playful “come get the ball” look.

And just to prove a point on how much they love the ball.. Just love those crazy faces

Back on dry land it was time to shower and rinse off the sand

Ever seen a white rottie?

We also met Kendra Kua a guide dog! Here she is sitting camly while getting her hair done

Very much a looker too

Also present was Joseph from Lei Ces, who does Schutzhund Training. He had some GSD puppies and they were too cute to resist photographing.

And my fav shot for the day…”Devotion”

National Dog Walk 2010

nick — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:13:46 +0000

The day didn’t begin very well with me waking up to a moderate drizzle, nonetheless it’s hard to keep me away from all those dogs who were going to be at the National Dog Walk 2010. I only stayed for the morning programe though, as I was going out for another event after lunch. Still, it was more than enough time to meet many new furry friends!

First up Rosie the therapy dog.

Then there was Ubin the dog whose foot was trapped in a boar trap. Sadly it had to be amputated but he has bounced back tremendously! Rescued and now in a loving home!

Cookie and Baloo and adorable duo.

Of course some dogs choose not to walk..

but to talk instead

Ozzy looking good with her new shoes..and who can resist a pug?

The dogs seemed to have a great time there depsite the rain early on. To see more you can check out the flickr album

Romeo and Juliet

nick — Wed, 05 May 2010 15:53:18 +0000

Not quite the love affair you would have predicted here. This party was for Romeo celebrating his second human year of life and for Juliet’s homecoming! While Romeo took an instant liking to the very young Juliet, she was not the shy demure kind and I think he learned that she was not to be taken advantage of

On the left we have romeo.. and on the right… Juliet!

I so love this sign.

Given its a dog party theres bound to be lots of sniffing and greeting.

While there was no music some guests still danced..

And the food smelled AWESOME.. quite so to this fella

And a few quick portraits..

Juliet getting TLC from her mom

And we end with her beautiful profile

SKC Dog Show Jan 2010

nick — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 03:22:21 +0000

I was glad to be given the chance to cover the first dog show of the year(180th since it started) organized by the Singapore Kennel Club! Call it a beauty pageant for dogs but its the one place you will get to see all kinds of dog breeds. In between covering the ring action i decided to sneak in a few candids as and when i could

Wide angles and labs always go together well.

Pepper the sweet camera loving Schnauzer on the left

And of course bull dogs just cry out for some 17mm shots.. thanks to my friend who lent me the 17-40 !

Some of the back-stage shots of dogs chilling before thier turn in the ring..

Hottttt…

Jazz’s babies Tried to sneak a few candids.. they all happened to look at her as she as walking back. Open shade even in the full afternoon light still works well

And of course there will be puppies!

Ending off with two headshots..a super-model saluki…

And a “awww” faced beagle.. hard to resist that look…

Needless to say at the end of it all I was feeling like the following..

Hope you’ve enjoyed the pictures! If you recognize your dog here or remember that I might have taken your’s drop me a comment or email!

Dogathon 2009

nick — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:55:03 +0000

I had the pleasure of covering Dogathon 09 organized by the Rotary Club of Tanglin. What more could you ask for than a warm sunny day with lots and lots of dogs? This was not just a walk for fun though as the benefits were going towards Noah’s Ark CARES .

The flag off!

It was a hot day..

And some dogs preferred to be ‘walked’. Those little booties are too cute!

Resting after the walk.

Thanks for viewing. Hope you all ahve a great weekend ahead!

All that Jazz…

I had the pleasure of covering the birthday party celebrations for Coco, Prince and Trixie, 3 lovely shelties belonging to Jazzmine of APAWZ It was a little crazy with the large number of shelties in the place and I guess only the ‘parents’ would have been able to recognize thier own kids I certianly had a hard time differentiating them through the viewfinder. Click all photos to enlarge!

Lucky for me my job was made easier by Jazz cause the 2 birthday girls had the prettiest collars! Heres coco in her birthday best

And of course whats a birthday without a cake? Durian based cream that was totally dog friendly!

Looks like someone couldn’t wait for a try

Prince the birthday boy enjoying his cake

And now some portraits to round it off..

And of course the obligatory group shot of her full ‘family’ Thanks to her obedience training this photo took less than 5 minutes to take!

Lastly my favorite out-take

Hope the dogs and humans had as much fun as I did!

Maad and Hungry

nick — Mon, 04 May 2009 16:10:50 +0000

To clarify, I was not insane but was a little hungry at the event known as MAAD . I was there to catch up with old friends and ended up meeting Candy who owns WhiteDogBobby. Her site is named after Bobby who sadly passed away last year on 11th September. Her 2 other dogs Hungry and Yuki were there with her at the bazaar and they were quite the show dogs Hungry especially seemed to know that he had that special charm.. My apologies to yuki for not taking enough photos of her, perhaps next time ok?

Living up to his name

The beauty shot

Getting tired..

And gone..

Be sure to check out WhiteDogBobby.com for some of her works!
