From being a backwater fishing village at the turn of the 20th Century, with mostly bamboo hut dwellings known as “kampong houses,” Singapore now has some of the most modern and unique architecture anywhere in the world. The city state’s commercial success has provided it with the wealth to not only preserve many historical buildings, but also develop some very iconic modern structures, such as the floating Apple Store, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, and the ArtScience Museum, set among lofty skyscrapers.

The contemporary buildings have been developed with a view to enhance Singapore’s reputation as the Garden City, and maximize the tropical vegetation coverage, whether it is on pedestrian bridges or rooftop gardens. This effort dilutes the concrete jungle feel that most urban centers have, and encourages people to walk rather than jump into a car for every little trip.

toward the screens, but his presence lingers more in reflection than in motion. the floor doesn’t just mirror him — it holds him in place, as if memory came before the step. geometry and glass create a pause in time, while the sun draws a silent frame around it all.

I'm starting to shoot film - this shot is from my first ever roll (unaltered and uncropped). Altered Landscape series is an oxymoron of sorts - capturing reality on film, but making it surreal...
