Street Shoot...

Walked about town yesterday, ran down to college to dump my duffel, and brought along the cam... took a bus down to city hall and sort of wandered to the Bugis area... there's alot of hidden nooks and crannies around, old buildings, backlanes that are worth walking around to explore... And I found this...

Have A Break...

Chanced upon a sidelane near bugis junction, somewhere between that and the old NAFA building... spotted a whole row of rickshaws, and quite a number of rickshaw riders there taking a break, snoozing and socializing in their little social circles... Shot this kneeling on the road, where thankfully cars didn't turn right into me... The hanging towel and sleeping uncle on it lent quite a fair bit of depth and meaning to the scene... The world has changed alot, where the iron men of the past toiled physically in the open streets, and today's silicon warriors hide in towers of glass and steel staring at little screens... Such symbols are vanishing...

Received several weird looks from the uncles and one young ah beng rickshaw guy,a typical golden lion maned one, stood out from the rest of the greying uncles like parking an evo amongst several benzes. (The context must be ah beng, lols, I don't wanto say sore thumb. I don't think sore thumbs actually, literally stick out. Considering the fact that its your shortest finger.) Received glaring stares from him and several uncles, especially when they spotted this gina doing a high kneel on the side road, with the bulky cam. Decided not to shoot him.

Alone...

Walked further down to where the old NAFA building/campus used to be... Saw this fella all tarped up and neglected... That street corner was a little out of place, facing buildings like raffles hospital and the bugis junction stretch where and old world faces the new across a single street...

Will post more soon... =) Really sleepy now... Zzz... Even though its dinner time...
