In dictionary.com, connection has this definition: state of being connected or related..

I will say that the dictionary’s not wrong! What’s so surprising about that? I was not. I have been meaning to write this post for very long…and I apologise for not updating my blog for almost 2 months now. I have been busy with cckssalumni.sg.

Being a fan of photography, I have my camera with me most of the time, except times when I am forgetful or my camera needs to recharge. Otherwise, it will be by side and I will be snapping away at things or scenes or people who interests me. Looking at my the photos I have taken so far, I came to realise that I have an eye for people who are in connection. And it’s kinda amazing…

Have you ever wondered…how can 2 person be connected in any way? If you are married, how did you get connected to your other half in the 1st place? Friends, family, colleagues…how did it all happen? I find this a very beautiful mystery. You can be at 1 place or with 1 person and don’t feel connected at all. And this is what makes people upset. Not feeling connected…

The image below shows a few kinds of connection. I have deliberately converted them to black and white pictures as in this manner, the details will show more clearly…

1. A very loving couple who just got married recently, dancing at a Valentine’s Day event that I organised in 2004.
2. A couple sitting on the breakwater of Pulau Ubin, enjoying the breeze and scenery. I don’t even know them at all but yet, I felt their connection and love for each other.
3. Prior to reaching Pulau Ubin, I saw this uncle and auntie sitting under the tree. Although their body language says different to connection but it maybe otherwise.
4. My good friend, Jannis…hugging her boyfriend while at sleep on our tour to Cameron Highlands.
5. This is the parents of a good friend. I have been touched by them on a couple of occassions. Although married for at least 27 years but they are still very connected. The love they have for each other, may not be the romantic kind, but its definitely the kind that we can’t decipher but only see and feel.
6. This is a very sweet photo that I took while organising a dinner cum dance event for SDU. 2 complete strangers who hit it off and get to know each other over a dinner, has this little shy connection while holding each other’s hand while at the dance.
7. I saw this couple spacing out at the river bank at clarke quay. They were not speaking but simply holding each other in their arms…
8. I love this photo which I took recently while at East Coast Park. They are 2 of my best friends who recently got married. They were flying kite when I took this photo. Somehow, it may be just kite flying, but at that moment, something connected, just like me and this scene

Have you ever thought of that moment when you connected with someone? That moment of connection. I do, I always do cos I appreciate all these moments. They are good moments…
