People may wonder
who are the people that make up the group, Street to Street Malaysia.
Let me bring you back on the journey on the formation of this group.
As months and years passing by roaming the street and taking pictures of people on the street daily life and also the special moment in street life, Malaysian Street Photographers such as
Agoes Alwie,
Mahfuz Jaffar,
Rosli Natiman (Wak Li),
Wan Zuharuddin,
Jalal Aziz (Jumbo Mambo) and Manap Semenanjung seemed to be very passionate about setting up a flatform where street artist can exhibit their works for public viewing
After much discussion and branstorming, a new group was formed early October 2014 and it was name Street to Street Malaysia.
The initial group were Agoes Alwie, Mahfuz Jaffar, Wan Zuharuddin, Dr. Yamin Ismail, Syed Omar Al Ghamidy, Wak Li and John Ragai.

Thus the Street to Street Photo Exhibition Vol:1 was organised on October 12th, 2014 with the seven photographers' works being exhibited.
After the Street to Street Photo Exhibition Vol:1, their passion to excel in their mission drove them to organize another Street to Street Photo Exhibition Vol:2 but along the way, one of the talented Street Photographer, Mahfuz Jaffar left the group due to personal reason.
We as a group thanked him for his valuable contribution to group initial formation.
In order to get back the SEVEN in the group, another talented Street Photographer, Jalal Aziz (Mambo Jumbo) invited into the group as the number seven photographer.
This is the new Team for the Street to Street Malaysia group.
