An Engrossing Read


Trishaw riders ferry tourists around the streets of Singapore usually in the cool evenings, giving their passengers a glimpse of the city at night.

While some were busying exchanging local gossip between themselves, this particular one was engrossed in his own read of the daily newspaper…

Rise… Number 181


More raising-the-bird-cage pictures from the “bird-song” park in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore taken during my visit there a couple of weekends ago… I love the brilliant sunlight which provided a rim-light effect to the scene as well as the interesting mix of colours.

My first visit to Perth, Western Australia was just over one year ago in 2003. I was there first for a work-related conference. Staying back after the conference for a vacation, I was joined by my dad. While exploring the streets of Perth, we chanced upon this candid moment of a sales assistant enjoying the sun outside her shop, right across the street. We were struck by the wonderful lighting as well as the wry humour of the situation. Making a quick grab of my camera, I was fortunate enough to capture this shot right before the girl realised that a candid photo of her was being taken.
