Cleaning Up

The Esplanade remains one of the most favourite photographic location for many Singaporeans. The theatre provide lots of photographic potential given its interesting and unusual architecture, whether if you see it from far or close-up, in the day, or at dusk. When I got my very first DSLR (the Canon EOS 300D) in September 2003, I visited the Esplanade and was rewarded by the sight of cleaners getting to work to clean up the unusual architecture. I like the effect of the brightly coloured cleaners contrasting against the repetitive patterns made by the windows and “spikes”. A print of the above shot has been accepted for the 2005 Member’s Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society, which will take place at the Smethwick Photographic Society, Churchbridge, Oldbury, and the Museum of Lancashire, Preston, Lancs, UK.
