1. Reid Review’s detailed reviews of the M Monochrome and X2 ::: time to get your subscription pronto ::: http://www.reidreviews.com/Reid’s reviews are SPECTACULAR - in them, he mentioned that for the M Monochrome, there are “really only two ways to see the ways in which  the MM renders tonality. The first is in a good print. The second is on a calibrated monitor that provides a very nuanced rendering of B&W. There aren’t many of the latter. The Apple Cinema display I owned, for example, was good for B&W but not good enough. So far, the only digital monitors I’ve seen that render B&W really well are made by EIZO and NEC.”.

Strictly Street ::: In living colour ::: I started getting into street photography when I traveled alone on business. It seemed odd at first to take pictures of total strangers. Not to mention, there was often an element of insecurity at the thought that the subject would not like his or her picture being taken. I know I wouldn’t. These days, it’s one of my favourite things to do. I still feel a lot like a pickpocket taking a ‘souvenior’ of a street scene (and someone’s privacy on occassion). I won’t have it any other way though. This is a collection of my attempts this year at colour street photography.  

These walls ::: Singapore  This is a simple series of pictures of, well, walls around Singapore.  It started off as an idea to show how imagery can be enhanced by the thought of something or a mere suggestion. Soon, I was trying to see how the suggestion of what lies behind those walls had the power to transform or just simply change the person walking in front of it. I hope that I can grow the number of pictures that can be added to this album.
