First rough photo edit of 2014 attached with meaningful quoted words from Y.M. Almarhum Ustaz Hanafi Haji Ahmad, the Founder of Silat Cekak, a pure malay martial arts. The Gerak, Cahaya & Kegelapan experimentation is a personal project planned with my brother OmbAq’s Ahmad Khalil. The project is currently ongoing.

This project intends to combine the techniques of slow shutter, long exposure & rear sync flash in photography to capture the emotion & motion of 'Silat' movement, specifically Silat Cekak Pusaka Hanafi. For reference of history & the federation 'Persekutuan Seni Silat Cekak Pusaka Hanafi Malaysia' kindly visit http://www.silatcekakhanafi.org and facebook.com/jomsilat

"Seni Silat Cekak pada hakikatnya adalah silat gerak,
Silat makan segerak, makan gerak di dalam gerak,
Adalah mustahil sama sekali dalam suatu ketika itu
berlaku dua gerak."
~ Y.M. Almarhum Ustaz Hanafi Haji Ahmad ~
