Singapore Rock!

I met my beloved for people photography around the “dangerous” Chinatown in the afternoon. Why people photography? Well, we have an assignment on people photography for our photography module. Why dangerous? Well, most of you should know that generally, the older generation are “camera-shy”. Some of them can even be “camera-aggressive”! We threaded with great care.

Well, the evening was a much more lively affair. My beloved tagged along to an event co-organised by the organisation I volunteer with. Another great opportunity for people photography, I told her.

The event was named “Singapore Rock” (I do not know why, so please do not ask me). It was organised for the elderly who stay in the 1-room and 2-room apartments along North Bridge Road. Well, these are the elderly who do not shy away from the camera. In fact, most of them will pose for you!

We had many difficulties trying to cover the event as it was held between 5.00 to 10p.m. and the lighting was really difficult to work with. But anyway, I still netted a handful of shots that I am pretty proud of.

Well, this post is getting really long. But 1 last thing to share with you guys is the affinity I have with this particular “auntie”. She is definitely one of the most lively residents in the area. Somehow, she is the subject of my favourite photo in both “Singapore Rock” and another previous event held way back in February! I do not know why, but it just seems that I have a special connection with her (not the kind you silly people are thinking of right now). Well, she just seemed to be enjoying at both events so much!

Here are the photos of her. Do comment and let me know how you think of them.
