I’m glad that you both were unharmed and managed to find a silver lining in this incident.

My friend had a similar experience; his house got broken into as well. A few old laptops were stolen but what saddens me is that his camera gears (worth rm8k) got stolen as well and since then, he had stopped photography. He was the pioneer in our circle of friends to start photography last year and things were never quite the same since the lost of this “photobuddy” of mine.

Anyway, I wish you all the best and take care in your future undertakings =)

Very sad to hear that, I have also lost my motorcycle before, and luckily it was recovered..

Best wishes..

Its a very terrible feeling inside realizing what you’ve worked so hard for just vanished in a blink of an eye. I know, I went through it. A couple of years back, our house got broke into and I lost the most. A 300Gb external hard disc (all my backed up event & wedding videos I shot over the years), a video camera & cash. I was devastated & at the verge of loosing myself. I’m still in pain when thinking of the lost but comparing it with what I have today, I’m encouraged by these words from a friend who said something like this, “…probably, if you still had that lousy video camera, you wouldn’t be taking pictures like what you’re doing now.” In that time of devastation, it was hard to deal with the lost. But as days passed on to years, I realized in its simplicity, God’s encouragement through the people around me. As days go by, I’ve learnt not to be satisfied & proud with what I have in the past, but to be more encouraged in getting better in days ahead.

Louis, you are a great motivator and an awesome encouragement to many. Your work inspire people like me. Sometimes we don’t realized the ripple we have caused to our surroundings but do be encouraged that there are people which are being blessed through you. You’ve made a huge impact on the local & international photography scene and I’m sure, your ‘gifts & passion’ is going to blessed even more people. With that humble spirit in you, sir, God is going to nurture & bless your ‘passion’ to even higher heights.

Best wishes,

I know how you feel exactly… my house was broken into last year and I went thro the exact same feeling, was I being watched? .. my cameras and lenses were all taken… our home didn’t feel quite the same… our privacy violated, our sense of security taken away. We came back home everyday with fears someone would jump us. I’m happy for you that there is some closure though. Did you manage to get your gear back? But most of all I’m happy to hear that both of you are safe.

I also just wanted to say also after attending your recent workshop in KL, you have indeed showed me what a little spark can do and God bless you both for your sincere heart to share with us all.

Sorry to hear that. But thank god you and Jasmine are unharmed.
Don’t be too stressed out , just be extra careful next time.
