46 by Project Gibraltar

A new cafe is in town! Kevin, owner of 46 by Project Gibraltar was heavily inspired by the 28 HongKong Street Bar. Doesn’t sounds familiar? Not surprising because it’s located in one of our neighbour country, Singapore. 28 HongKong Street is a speakeasy bar. Speakeasy bars back then were unlicensed bars.They were so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, so to not alert the police or neighbours. Kevin brought back this whole idea and concept to his very own cafe. A speakeasy cafe with specialty coffee and desserts. Located at Subang Jaya or should we say the cafes-everywhere-neighbourhood, 46 by Project Gibraltar has a rather interesting concept. This cafe is easily recognised with it’s special entrance.

Once entered, there is another entrance leading into this mysterious cafe. This separate entrance however when entered, gives a whole new impression. Instead of giving that mysterious aura, customers are now greeted with a cozy and neat cafe with an all white interior including white walls and furnitures. A simplicity and minimalist concept. Then behind the coffee machine stands the very friendly owner of this cafe greeting you with a smile, ready to serve.

Address: 46-1 Jalan USJ9/5P, Subang Jaya

Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 11.00am – 11.00pm, Closed on Mondays

The Borak-Borak Sessions: Keow Wee Loong, Malaysia’s Roof-topper Photographer

Keow Wee Loong also know as KiwiKeow, is our very own local roof-topper photographer. Previously, Keow Wee Loong created numbers of headlines by climbing one of the world’s tallest towers in Shanghai. Recently, he has climbed the soon-to-be world’s tallest residential skyscraper, Marina 101, in the city of Dubai. His bravery and stunning photographs have drawn attention from all around the world yet again. We got the chance to keep in touch and do a “Borak-Borak Session” with the man himself and ask few questions about his work and passion in roof-topping photography.

KWL

What or who inspired you to start roof-topping photography?

I started taking photo when I first got my DSLR. I took a lot of photos; I mean good one, but no one really like it. I think the reason is because photography is too common. Everyone can take good pictures with good practice. So I try shooting something unique that can’t be done by others.

KWL4

What’s your physical preparation before any roof-topping projects?

I love climbing and enjoy the scenery from above. But living in the city, the only thing I can climb is building.

KWL3

What were the difficulties you encountered first starting roof-topping photography?

Roof-topping photography is not an easy task. Some people call it a crime, but I call it creating art and keeping the (landscape) images for the future generation. Not many people could get access to restricted area in the city. Getting to the top without getting arrested is the biggest difficulties roof-topper face while capturing image from above the building.

Among your works/projects, which one is your favourite?

Climbing the tallest tower in the world in Shanghai (Shanghai Tower) and Shenzhen (Ping, a finance centre).

Other than rooftop photography, I do shoot nature as well, like the Blue Fire of Ijen (located in East Java, Indonesia).


 Whose work has influenced you most?

I guess nobody has influenced me. I do not copy people’s work or get inspire by others.

Which/when is the most memorable roof-topping photography session?

I travel around the world-capturing photo from above for a long time, but nothing beat the view from the roof of our own country.

 

Was photography your first choice of a career? Is it something you’ve always wanted to do?

I did law but end up in photography because of my passion.

How has today’s social media played a role in your photography?

Well my photo can be distributed faster and I can make money doing the things I love through social media.
