Every weekend, as I accompany my mother to the wet market, there’s a scene that never fails to tug at my heartstrings. Amid the bustle of bright stalls and lively chatter, there’s this quiet corner. A lone figure sits there, illuminated only by the soft glow of nearby lights.

Her stall doesn’t have the electricity or brightness others boast, and her product—organic soil—is far from the sought-after items in a wet market. Yet, she’s there every single time, waiting patiently. The rain doesn’t deter her, nor does the lack of customers.

There’s a profound strength in her quiet perseverance, a reminder that resilience often doesn’t shout. It simply endures.

I wonder what stories she holds, sitting there in her solitude. For now, all I can offer her is my silent respect, and this image—a small tribute to her unwavering spirit.

As Chinese New Year approaches, I can’t help but wonder—will the next generation continue to cherish and carry on these beautiful traditions? Even I realize how little I know about all the details of preparation, from the recipes to the symbolic meanings behind them.

It’s a reminder for us to pass on these traditions, not just through practice but through storytelling and sharing moments like these with our loved ones. Let’s keep the spirit alive for the generations to come. 🧧❤️

my user thought after 20 days hands on experience capturing over thousand images with Leica M11-D

The Leica M11-D offers a unique digital photography experience by removing the LCD screen, pushing photographers to focus more on the moment and trust their instincts. During my recent trips to Guilin, Yunnan, local Kuala Lumpur, the camera's minimalist design allowed me to capture stunning images while embracing a slower, more intentional approach to photography.

The new Leica M11-D captures the essence of photography, combining the feeling of analogue photography with the versatile possibilities of the digital world – without the distraction of a display. And with CAI-compliant technology to maintain trust in digital photography
