It's funny yet somewhat annoying how I always find myself around the same goddamned place everytime I go for a casual street-photog walk. It is like bashing through the deep woods, where every clearing reached seemed like the previous one, trees felt like carbon copies of each other. Drifting to the left, drifting to the right, it doesn't make a difference. I still find myself at the place where I first found myself. A never ending friggin' loop. Is it me being drawn towards the common, or am I just simply living in a minimized space, confined.
So while I was on this random bus, on my way home - I've spotted a pretty interesting jungle along one of the lifeless Singapore highways. Kinda funny though cause I thought I saw a clearing, a walkway of some sort. I went back to the same place the following Saturday and did a lil' exploring.
Somewhere in the alleys of Little India, while I was chasing these flock of pigeons for mere photographs, a random stranger came up to me with a smile on his face and asked: "Hi!, can I see the picture you took??". He was kinda surprised when I said I can't as I'm using film, showing him the lcd-less back of my camera. "Oh you still use film?!" was his reply. I smiled at him then bid my farewell.
And no, I wouldn't want to get a tattoo. But looking at this picture, reminded me how much I've always wanted to leave and just simply get lost. In this very moment, I envy those who has got all the time in the world to travel. I'm just waiting for my National Service to end (9 more months!) and I'm off to the country down under!
I can still remember how annoyed the old lady was when she heard the loud *click* produced by my camera. She quickly hid herself in between those vehicles. When I walked pass her, she was babbling words which I can't seem to comprehend, I'm so sure its bad. I walked straight with guilt of causing disrespect, trying to ignore the tempt to look at her.
The alleys in Little India.
Typical day-to-day scavengers of the Thieves' Market, Sungei Road.
