Taken during my visit to Changi Jetty a few weekends ago… I caught this boatman manouevring his boat towards the jetty while delivering barrels of ‘live’ seafood. I like the colours and lighthing and the seen which is enhanced by his “come hither” action.

This gentleman (with vitiligo, a skin depigmentation disorder) was so absorbed in his nap on a hot Sunday morning near the Ang Mo Kio market that he hardly budged at all while passers-by walked by. I can hardly say the same for a cobbler and his assistant, who were seated just a couple of metres away; they got edgy when I pointed my camera towards them (hey… they were in a public place anyway :p) with the cobbler threatening to literally clobber me even when I protested that I was not taking pictures of them!

Right before the Chinese New Year, lots of colourful makeshifts tents/stalls can be seen set up around many neighbourhoods, selling New Year stuff, clothing, goodies and snacks. These stalls became a colourful setting for these kids who were playing in the brilliant sunshine. I love the brilliant lighting the almost mid-day sun provided for their actions.
