Egg House

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.
