Lighted Brollies
What I saw looking up at the ceiling while having dinner with CY at a Japanese restaurant in town… These Japanese umbrellas made a pretty sight! 🙂

From the same place as one of my previous posts taken in Tenganan Village in Bali. That post is being used in the current issue of the Annals of the Academy of Medicine Singapore, accompanied by a very appropriate quote:
None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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.
