Little India photo outing

to keep my mind off work and to brush up photo composition skills, i visited an ethnic enclave in search of interesting things to capture. i'm ashamed to say that i never once set foot in Little India ever since a sch visit in Sec 2... though it was a little too hot and uncomfortable to be taking pictures, the bright sun helped a little in making colors more xian1 yan4 ( i think?)

what are these? i dun think i can call them saris cos they are just brightly colored skirts. sari skirt? haha anyway, these bright skirts on sale outside a shop caught my eye and i decided to "abstract" them a little ;P

i liked how i could see both high-rise flats and the 'shophouse' from this angle.

standing across the st, i spotted this 'potato man' working in the hot afternoon sun. tried to be discreet and snapped the pic when he wasn't looking ;P i think the orange sacks hold potatoes and the red ones, onions...

The digital camera is a wonderful invention - you can go around snapping all sorts of stuff without worrying about developing them :) As I have just discovered on my trip to the US! Your pictures are lovely.

thank you :)well i currently cheat a little with digipics but once i improve my composition, i'll gradually work on technique ;P yeah i also love how i can preview pics and retake them if necessary :)
