Count Me In Too
Same child… same place… same event… but a different pose 🙂
Egg House
If you’ve been following my work here, you’d realise that one of my favourite angles for candid/photojournalistic pictures is to adopt a top-down, high vantage-point approach. One of the best places to get this is at the Tekka Market in Little India. I made my first visit to this place in 2003 for photography and have gone on repeated trips many times since. The market has undergone some renovations since my last visit sometime back. Luckily, the vantage point from the 2nd level of the market has been preserved, although the tungsten lighting that used to light up the place has been changed to energy-saving (read bland) fluorescent ones, making the tones less rich and vibrant.
In Jail & Just Visiting
The above was taken at Tenganan Village in Bali, which is famous on the island for its classic representation of traditional Balinese life (before its subjugation by the Javanese). The inspiration for the title comes from the Monopoly board game 🙂 … the irony is that the prized roosters are kept confined, whereas the more ordinary ones are left free to roam the village.
