ultimate list: my take on street photography Unknown 10:39 PM

I was reminded again that taking other people's pictures is offensive in every angles, and that I might get into serious trouble if I continue doing that.  I appreciate the concern, I do, and I do take this advice very seriously, but I do this kind of photography very discreetly as well.  And when I was asked why I'm doing it, I replied "I don't know".  But what I do know is I enjoy doing it, I just don't know why.  Is that good reason enough?

And so here is my list of the most interesting shots I took in the streets of Singapore and Malaysia.  I could hardly call this my ultimate list though, I just need to create a title for U.

I've shared some of them before, like this shot of the biker girl, and the "celebrity chef" who posed beautifully in front of the Singapore Flyer, the lady in "tunnel of bloom", and that toasted under the sun Laneway Experience.

This girl who's pedaling hard to get away from her dad and join the love of her life is one of my most favorites and luckiest shots in my entire collection.  I took it in one of the streets in Singapore.

Petronas Towers Unknown 9:14 PM

You know what really caught my attention when we arrived in Kuala Lumpur was the sky.  It was super red.  That sky wasn't photoshopped.  It was actually reddish, and it kinda freaked me out, but they never seem to notice.  They're all busy taking pictures.  But, hey, it did add character to my photos.  I just don't know why it's red.

I took another shot from another angle.. it's really red.  It was both alarming and fascinating.  Is this how bad the pollution is in Malaysia? particularly in Kuala Lumpur? or I don't know, maybe it's just the lighting.

nearly missing the plane Unknown 6:51 PM

We had a few hours to spend scouring every stalls, every shops, every products they have before our flight.  I found the cutest vegetable magnets in a reasonable price.  I'm not a fan ref magnets, but how can you say no to a mushroom, tomatoes, and ginger which were beautifully crafted.. they looked real in my eyes.  I have no photos of them though, and two of them were already broken.. that's why I'm not a fan of ref magnets.

But I do have this shot which I wasn't able to share before.  I took it while we were waiting for the rain to stop, and while they're haggling for something.  I stood under this tent which I don't know if strong enough to handle the rain, but I had no any other option.

playful little monkeys at Batu Cave Unknown 11:13 PM

McDonald's at the City Centre Unknown 8:50 PM

We're not hiding it, we do love McDonald's.  It's our favorite meeting place.  It's my coffee shop.  I love their fries.  Their breakfast is nice.  They're everywhere.  They're located where we're always at.. so it's more like they know how to find us.

I can't think of a story between this two because you might think/say I'm a racist.

Now, if you're going to ask me, how was it?  the food?  Is it pricey?  How the people were?  Do they serve rice?  No, they don't.  No rice at all.  But their normal servings is twice as big as our normal servings here in the Philippines.  We converted it to Philippine Peso, it's a little cheaper.  The people are fine.  Everyone treat everyone well.  It's nice meeting the Malaysian Mcdo.

manong, the bird feeder Unknown 9:44 PM

This one was taken at the Batu Cave in Kuala Lumpur, and I'd like to admit I haven't seen these birds too many in a single spot.  

There's a few drops of rain when we got there, and when I saw these birds, I already thought it wasn't the rain.  They're on every electric lines and they've decorated the ground well enough for me not to think they're not showering us.

There were no much people, but there were lot of monkeys.  That I will share next.  ;)
