Indepth Exploration

This image of Phil was taken through the concrete stilts that support the old Chief's House. This house, (also locally known as "Penghulu's House") was built in the Malay style where it is raised from the ground to ventilate and keep the house cool in hot climates. It is usually open to visitors, but unfortunately, it was closed for restoration when we were there, so Phil makes the most of it from the outside.

Beautifully layered image, with a surprise ending. The crumbling pillars and dark tunnel are wonderfully mysterious, while the nosy photographer makes the most of a fascinating subject in the background. I am that photographer, and I have no idea that I am becoming the centerpiece of one photography while making another.
