Street photography in Singapore is rapidly gaining popularity, with several communities sprouting up on Facebook. What defines street photography? An abridged version of an attempt to explain it would look something like this: people + candid situations + public places. Aik Beng Chia once mentioned that the beauty of street photography is to capture the natural essence at that point of time. Rather than be overly concerned about the technicalities of a photograph, it is still better to first capture the emotions.
We have been wanting to feature the works of cousins Adrian and Sherman for the longest time. It's been such a while that I cannot even seem to remember how I first came across their works, and for this I sincerely apologize. Both cousins are keen practitioners of street photography, pocketing moments they steal off the streets, curating the moments and allowing for a more comfortable instance of 'people-watching'.
So take a moment, and 'people-watch' through the eyes of Adrian and Sherman.
To all nostalgia lovers and those who liked our previous post on Thieves' Market, we are bringing the spotlight onto someone who has been following the developments of the market and hopefully from his insight, we can learn more about, possibly the last junkyard sale in Singapore.
For our second trip out as ambassadors of Esplanade's 10th anniversary, we followed Esplanade's Roadshow Team down to Laselle College of the Arts! This time around, we asked our sporting participants about their definition of PEACE.
Chinese mythology depicts the dragon as a long, serpent-like creature with powerful talons. Often linked with auspicious power, it is the natural choice for the symbol of fortune.

The temple called me up to photograph a triennial event, the light-up of the fire dragon. The life and death of the dragon happened on that very night of February, as it danced its greatest first and last — its only dance.
Writeboard is back for the new year! We have been on hiatus for several months now and this time round, we are collaborating with Esplanade to celebrate its 10th anniversary with the theme– Celebrating Life. And yes, Esplanade is now 10 years old!
As the theme suggests, our Writeboard sessions will be based on the values, which well, embrace life too. So we made a trip to Huayi Festival and asked the people there what COURAGE means to them.
