My apologies again for a long absence...
I would like to take this opportunity to share my pride and joy... The first three photos were ranked in top 5 for the respective day on Flickr Explore!
The big photo of is one of my 6 full sized photos that appeared in an article on Malaysia featured in the September 2006 issue of the inflight magazine of Russian Aviation Company Transaero (http://www.transaero.ru/).
Apart from that, a golf course picture appeared in a golf brochure in Germany and a few other photos are on some sites in countries around the world.
I wonder when Malaysia would notice me or when Malaysians would notice me too. I find it strange that NO ONE has ever approached me to do weddings. I am a people shooter...
Thank you so much again for taking the time to visit/comment in the spirit of idea sharing where there is no right or wrong answer...
Have a great weekend and a greater week ahead.. Keep on shooting!!
Best regards,
Azli Jamil
25/11/06: Tomorrow, I'm going to Siem Riep for a week of vacation (my third time this year). Before I go, I would like to share with you a photo I shot at yesterday's runway fashion show. I really love this shot!!!
Hey bro.. good to have you back. Guess u've been busy with flickr nowadays..? He he.. Great angle you gor there for a mosque capture. Got no comment on the 'notice' issue. But on the wedding.. frankly Azli.. what i have in mind.. is that you love to go travel. Shooting new things all the time. And you do photography totally as a hobby.. that you shoot what u like.. not what other prople want you to. If lots of people out there having the same thing in mind.. they won't ask whether you do wedding or not. You did'd even show interest in wedding photography.. only a few of them as i can recall. I did ask for more wedding shots. So i guess it's not that they don't want to.. but they think you don't do wedding.. that's all. I'm pretty sure you'll get lots of queries after this entry bro. Lots of them. Be prepared with packages.. ha ha ha.. and again.. good to have you back.
kinda miss your comments on my fotopage. To me you don't have to show a lot of good photos as some can be considered as iconic, to me and to hear good news that your pictures have been widespread is very good. Keep it up!
ps-you're also the one who told fotopagers "to comment critically and constructively". Thank you for that
The first three photos were ranked in top 5 for the respective day on Flickr Explore That is a fact.....Marvelous .
Congratulation.

Congrats ! Your photos do travel far eh.. Hmm.. eh.. bro Azli buat wedding shoots jugak ker? What's the charges like? Mahal tak?
ps ~ I think Malaysians do notice you.. tengok ajer comments kat fp ni... And most I guess really look up to you...
BIG congratulations on your printed photo ! It's wonderful that you are getting more recognition for your work !
I'm loving the 3 photos here... you are VERY talented and capture the essence of the people and the moment.
hi azli. congrats on your success. are you considering to become a pro. photographer?

there's your dream of getting published. goes to show that you don't necessarily need expensive gear to get those shots. tapi maybe you may have to upgrade jugak la one day, since some publications would require really high resolution pictures, eh?
Congratulations bang azli . Happy for you. May you have many more successes here and abroad.
But I'm just crazy about your '... and an eve haloed by sunlight...'. It's gorgeous .
p/s - Yeah, I know the age joke is gettin' preeetttty tired already .
Well everybody, I need all of you to stand up still, straight and no movement at all. When I say, GIVE THIS GUY AN APPLAUSE, all of you, have to give your utmost intensity of applaud to this brilliant guy who has been minimally recognized in Malaysia but extensively known by outsiders.
I guess, that was such a big success! Congratulations!
hi encik azli jamil. im the one that you met at klcc that nite with my boyfriend. huhu. what else to say. i hate to admit that your photos are all amazing, n it seems that you have all it takes to come with good photos. even though that nite you said that you want critical comments, unfortunately for me (or for you) i couldnt come to one. your photos are all amazing~ syabas!
Bro Azli,
I think you just have to post an entry saying that now you're available for wedding and the floodgates will open. To get my first assignment (engagement), I kena promo guna kawan-kawan. After the first 1, everything seems so much easier...
Bro Azli...macam mengeluh je..macam terasa seperti anak tiri di bumi sendiri ...but who care...let world recognise your jobs...or maybe need more publisiti / marketing tool ?
Bros Azli....a way of you capture the reflecation is great cuma aku rasa angel orang tu macam senget sikit...
p/s Aku rasa you should apply work with Reuters, AFP,AP ke atau paling kurang jadi stringer photographer untuk dia orang. Your photos can sell Bros.
...but who care...let world recognise your jobs...or maybe need more publisiti / marketing tool ?
