Street Photo - Threes of 2 Kinds

Threes of 2 Kinds

I was walking on this pedestrian pavement along Serangoon Road when I saw ahead of me these three Indian fellows walking past a road sign. I ran up quickly to make this shot. There's this pattern and similarity between the three human subjects and the road sign that really caught my attention.

Two Filipino ladies, wearing the same Great Britain flag T-shirts, are giggling and laughing outside a Burger King restaurant in Bugis Village. The colors of their tops in comparison with BK logo just spoke out loud to me and hence I walked up closer to make this photo.

Street Photo - You Are What You Eat

You Are What You Eat

Well this photo speaks loud and clear for itself. There are many more fast food restaurants now than three decades ago. In which case either directly or indirectly, causing more obesity amongst younger children. Adults are affected too. They are addicted to fast food due to fast paced high pressurized and stressful working environment People do not have time for an hour lunch break and resort to fast food. Somehow food affects one's health, life style and state of mind.

I was walking in Chinatown one morning on Lunar Moon Festival 2012 and I took a break sitting on a small stairway and noticed this strip of light on a signboard. I begun to shoot by-passers and this is one of the best candid shots.

Under the Violet Shade

I really love the simplicity of this photo. Upon alighting from a bus, I spotted this subject who walked past me The violet colored umbrella stands out prominently and nicely against the black and white hoarding board with casted shadows of trees branches and leaves. Moreover, her black top and white tote bag, all fit so perfectly. Intuitively I lifted my camera and made the shot.

Street Photo - Sound Asleep

A young girl was sleeping soundly on a park bench right outside Singapore Management University (SMU). A couple nearby was laughing while I made this photo. They must have had noticed the girl too. What caught my attention was the girl's sleeping posture which reminds me of a sleeping bird.
