Urban Bookshelves
Ang Mo Kio, Singapore.
January 2014.
I had packed up and was ready to leave - then this view caught my attention. Somehow the grills/railings on each floor of the HDB (Housing and Development Board) blocks (residential apartments) on the right side of this image, in combination with the velvet-red color of the buildings reminded me of library bookshelves filled with books. Hence the title.
I then unpacked, set up again, and decided how I wanted to compose and convey this shot. I wanted strong, clean and uncluttered leading lines so I took about 8-10 images of this same scene with moving vehicles giving me different patterns of light trails. I decided on this one with relatively clean light trails on the left. As for the headlights of that car on the right - I like that in this composition, but that was pure coincidence. A few seconds after I captured this, the driver of that car had switched off the headlights - if I had been 5-10 seconds slower, I would have lost this moment.
