As I mentioned before, I just took a photo class. For the ‘final exam’ we are supposed to submit 24 photos taken recently either during a trip, or in one of the ‘touristy’ areas of Singapore. Since I will be returning from Japan after the deadline for this, I decided to do something on Chinatown. It forced me to look at this neighbourhood in a totally different way even though I had walked through it many times.
This is my “Day in the Life of Chinatown”
Bright Lights
Reflexions on the Singapore River
Tai-Chi in the Park
Jogging along the river (I have been seen doing that!)
Reading the morning paper
All is still quite …
Construction workers have not arrived yet
The market is already at full swing
No Comments…
Colorful Shutters
A montage of several local sights (this is also my first attempts at editing digital photos using Photoshop)
The young and the old (inspired by a photo in my parent’s kitchen)
Temple at sunset
Relaxing at the end of the day
Lines everywhere
Ready to party – at least some are…
Food, of course
More food
Chinatown by-night

It’s interesting what is seen through a camera, as compared to what is seen in person. I’ve been to Singapore Chinatown, and that’s not really how I remember it.
On the other hand, I note that your photographs seem to be early in the morning, and then late at night. These are probably the right times to be looking at Chinatown, as compared to the harsh light of midday.
Complimenti, le tue foto sono migliorate. Prima erano “fredde”, adesso hanno quelle tonalita’ soffuse e l’attenzione al particolare che prima mancava, bravo!
Been away from S’pore many years I do remember and recognize almost each of your photo subject, thanks.
