This is my journey through Malaysia (with the occasional foray into Singapore), tracking down, exploring and photographing locations that normally lay unseen, ignored, or maybe be totally off limits to the normal person on the street.

With a keen interest in history and architecture, this journey started back in January 2006, primarily covering derelict prewar locations before they were lost to time. This slightly strange hobby, quickly got me hooked on to the so called art of "Urban Exploration", upon which my exploring interest broadened, taking in many more locations and subject matters, dating from any period.
