A Short Day with Charles Pertwee




Consider it luck....My work colleague wanted to buy a classic canon 5D (What a downgrade from a 5D mark2) He ended up buying the camera from a very well accomplished photojournalist.

At first he asked me to look at the guy's webpage...and to my surprise, his website was very impressive!

His name: CHARLES PERTWEE

During our rushed trip going to plaza singapura (we basically made a record of walking from our workplace to the nearest MRT station) we were pondering on how this guy would look like, Is he arrogant?, is he snobbish?, will he even talk to us? these thoughts were really running in our heads and we were so lightheaded just to make fun out of it. By the way, call us the Jakun Tribe (Master Jakun, Jester Jakun and Sweet Potato...you know who you are!)

Ok, Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, 1810H Master Jakun calls Charles (New BFF), we were up in front of Auntie Anne's, heart pounding with excitement and anxiety....and to our surprise...he was plain as porridge! no nothing, just plain him! we were all surprised on how humble and friendly he was.

Of course, Master jakun had to deal with him first regarding the purchase of the camera....after that, everything was history.

I was so impressed with his pictures that I printed it and asked for his autograph! <- call it mega jakun! hahahaha but i know somebody who's more jakun than me! again <- you know who you are :)


Charles: Bye to the canon 5D <- you've been with me through thick and thin.
Master Jakun: Hello to your new master! <- What an honor.

The day ended with us eating German franks and talking about the fun experience we had that day!
