Veteran photographer exhibits his black-and-white masterpieces from the ‘70s

Old is gold: A shot of a shaved ice stall and trishaws taken in Malacca. This photo is accompanied by a haiku that reads ‘Lunch Break, A cool dessert, Easing the spirit’.

MANY Malaysians have only heard of the country’s natural beauty in the early days from their older relatives, but photographer Eric Peris has managed to capture those images in his exhibition, titled “Namo”.

The 76-year-old photographer had put together images taken from 1975 to 1980 and presents images of places from yesteryear, some of which no longer exist.
