In A Singapore Market
This was one of my very first acceptance in the Singapore International Salon in 1962. I used a Rolleiflex twin lens reflex camera fitted with Rolleikin to capture this image at the China Town market. Kodachrome film was used. This picture won the Silver Medal and US$100 cash (top award) in the New York World Fair “The World and Its Peoples” Kodak International Picture Contest in 1964. After 42 years , the image is still as brilliant as brand new, a testament to the longevity of good film (if kept properly).
