thaipusam 2013 @ Waterfall Road, Penang

Loud music.. funky dancing.. coconut smashing... body piercings... , there is no better street shooting opportunity in Malaysia than the Thaipusam festival. 
This is my second Thaipusam outing in Waterfall Road, Penang. Equipped with a portrait kind of lens, I wanted to capture the intense emotion and expression of its devotees.
