Frustration at Picture Kiosks

Sunday, February 19th, 2006

I hardly print photos any more. Not since I went digital five years ago. But on occassion, I still want to get a few prints - they are great for sharing around a dinner table (places where my notebook can’t fit). I once had an Epson photo printer which gave awesome quality, […]

Aerial Photography from Public High-rise Buildings

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

One of the boons of photography in Singapore is the abundance of public high-rise buildings near downtown areas. These buildings are open to public access and offer open balconies from which aerial photos can be taken without too much hassle.
Look out for these HDB or URA flats that offer a bird’s eye view of […]

Managing Photos and Picasa

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

If you haven’t visited my online photo album, you might want to take a look. Since I bought my first digital camera in 2000, I’ve grown accustomed to the convenience and features that digital photography offers. Yet, with all it offers, managing digital photos can be a pain.
After years of experimenting with various […]

Deepavali at Little India

Sunday, November 7th, 2004

I am amazed how much I take the colourful multi-culturalism of Singapore for granted. For the better part of my 20 years living in Singapore, I’ve only seen Little India through the windows of a bus passing through. It was not until several years ago that I visited more of this little-known quarter […]

Photoblog - Chromasia

Thursday, November 4th, 2004

I’ve been writing in this Journal for about two months now, and I’ve often visited other people’s blogs for inspiration or out of curiousity. Today, I discovered a photoblog - where you tell your story with photos.
Photoblogging is a natural extension of a journal for photographers, and I’ve even made an abortive attempt at […]

Japanese Cemetery Park

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004

I’m cleaning out some of the old photos that I’ve taken but not had the time to process and upload. I’m coming to terms with my procrastination!
In September, I came across a quiet little cemetery just off Yio Chu Kang Road. The Japanese Cemetery Park sits in the middle of a private housing […]

KL Railway Station

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2004

The previous weekend found me in KL for my cousin’s wedding. Although I’ve been to KL many times before, I have not photographed the Railway Station as a proper subject. So, in the 15 minutes before the NICE bus departed to Singapore, these are the few photos I managed to capture.

The station itself […]

Pre-war Shophouses at Geylang

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Geylang remains of the few areas of Singapore that have escaped the clutches of urban redevelopment until now. Perhaps part of it is due to its less-than-reputable status as a seedy district where the undesirables still ply their trade.
Nevertheless, it retains some of the pre-war shophouses that housed most businesses in Singapore before independence. […]

Mission Santa Clara de Asis

Monday, October 18th, 2004

The Mission Church of Santa Clara de Asis is one of the many mission churches that remain from the days of Spanish colonisation of California which started in the 18th century. There are numerous mission churches which string up the coast of California, following the path of early missionaries who founded settlements and churches […]
