Picto's Proton Saga Shoot

For most Malaysians, a Proton Saga is an integral part of our growing up as other local eccentrics known only to our local kids, say...erm...those white rabbit candies, learning how to brush your teeth by standing next to some drain outside your classroom, following the instruction of a nurse or even playing aci duduk. Leaving aside debates on how Proton as a company eventually became burden to all Malaysians no thanks to one misguided ex-PM, a Proton Saga is very likely to be the car you grew up with, probably the first car your family allowed you to drive in when you had your driving license. As a car, it maybe crap. But if one values a car for the sentimental value it gave you during your less prosperous younger years, then it may mean something else. Personally, the best years of my live were largely spent in one banged up white Datsun 120Y belonged to one our close buds. It was one of the only few cars available to take us anywhere during those carefree days. In many ways, that car meant a lot more to us, the group of close buds than any of our better equipped modern day cars.

Picto is a photography services start-up. For their portfolio, Picto did a series of creative shots with the theme "Proton Saga." We liked the low budget yet creative work done.

Terima kasih anakku,
Membeli Saga menemaniku,

Mu sentiasa dekat di kalbu.
