I love when I position my camera for a snap, the subject responds positively like this:
My partner calls Tainan the most aesthetic city for our trip. It is filled with old things and textures, the opposite of our home country. Because Singapore is always changing, I end up craving for old things.
In most cities skyscrapers are everywhere, so it is rare to see the blue sky like this – it reminds me of San Francisco:
One night the winding roads led us to stumbling across two open-air activities: one a traditional opera, the other was playing Ip Man 3 on a projector screen. I couldn’t capture a wide enough angle, but behind me there were more people sitting on their motorbikes watching the movie, some shop owners were watching it even from a far distance.
We don’t experience these in Singapore anymore.
Sometimes I notice an interesting scene so I raise my phone to take a very quick photo, only to realise much later that somebody was actually smiling at me:
I like stumbling upon unexpected scenes, things that remind me that the spectrum of human creativity is so wide.
We had only spent 2 nights in Tainan and had to leave because the accommodation prices for the approaching weekend were horrendous, but we were very glad to have made an unexpected stop here.
I find the camera such a wonderful tool, because it allows me to record and store snippets of my observations, and share them here with you.
