Hi,

This is a corridor in the First World Hotel in Genting Highlands, Malaysia. No wonder it’s the worlds largest hotel. I noticed this when I first went there to meet a friend who was staying there. I later returned with my camera to capture this. I intentionally overexposed the whites to give it an IR look.

The details might be a little too washed out for my taste. I think I would have liked a more contrasty monochrome. Nice!

I think he has developed a style of his own. There is a "film" feel about this one!
