This Greenshank ran very fast through the water catching small fish

The lady who owns this place won the cupcake challenge on the Food Network so we HAD to go there and try her Battle Royale cupcake which she won the competition for... It's the one with the pink top, it's an almond cake with raspberry jelly filling and raspberry icing, melts in your mouth! definitely my fave of all of them. I like this place better than Kara's and it's cheaper. But the chocolate cakes were not as moist as the others.

The car in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife traveled, which ultimately sparked the start of the First World War after his assassination in Sarajevo. The famous car is now on display at the Museum of Military History, Arsenal, in Vienna, Austria. Historical pieces that I painted with watercolors on 50 x 70 cm paper, seeking plastic expressiveness and the gesturalism of the brushes. Painting by the artist Ernest Descals.

Note how the gentlemen sifts through the goods with a screwdriver and not his bare hands. Obviously to test the patience of the seller :)

 

Continuing the series of street photography where I attempt to document the days leading to the closing down of the Sungei Road Flea market (Singapore) which made way for future urban redevelopment on 10 July 2017.

 

The market which started in the 1930s serves as the go-to place for the underprivileged or those seeking unique items at a bargain. This is far flung from the upmarket shopping belts in Orchard Road or Marina Bay Sands.

 

It started in the 1930s during the Japanese occupation along Rochor River, where people would seek household items which were in short supply. It was later coined "Thieves" market as stolen goods were hawked there.

 

Before closing down, second hand clothes, watches and electrical items were popular with foreign construction workers and normally hawked by the elderly or those who are independent and refuse financial assistance from the state.

 

I tried to capture the lively battering atmosphere, which were sometimes quirky as well as the melancholy etched in the faces of those who were saddened by the impending loss of a livelihood and historical site.

 

While the hawkers not always friendly, with personalities sculpted through the "hard knocks of life"..... especially towards photographers who sometimes intrude into their businesses, I tried to be as inconspicuous as possible by carrying a small handheld camera instead of a DSLR, often getting close to the interactions between buyers and sellers.

Just sifting through my SD card and this one where I was wearing glasses hit the note for this evening

This is one of my final images for my Studio project at Uni. So ridiculously stressed at the moment with deadlines and what not.

Sift the flour, mix the butter,

Roll the dough for the cookie cutter.

A white sugar star, a red Christmas bell,

A brown teddy bear with a gingery smell.

 

Christmas cookies taste so sweet.

They're fun to bake and good to eat. (Norma Rose)

Plätzchenduft zieht durch das Haus,

versperrt sind manche Schränke.

Es weihnachtet, man kennt sich aus,

und wohl sortiert sind die Geschenke

Sifting through the archives- a little out of season, but happy fence Friday!

Sifting through the archives and memories… this was part of my 50th b-day celebration with my family in Vienna.

Oh what a day!

Seems so long ago, now.

The Easter Sunday Sunrise Service on Crescent Beach was quite possibly the most beautiful event I've been paid to snap.

 

The sunrise itself was perfect. Hundreds and hundreds of people assembled together in their beach chairs at dawn for a religious service on the beach? Definitely unique. Ocean baptisms? Wow.

 

As I walked back to my car, the fog rolled in and caught me by surprise. A mist thicker than pea soup enveloped the sun and the earth. Incredible!

 

See for yourself!

It sifts from Leaden Sieves -

It powders all the Wood.

It fills with Alabaster Wool

The Wrinkles of the Road -

 

It makes an Even Face

Of Mountain, and of Plain -

Unbroken Forehead from the East

Unto the East again -

 

It reaches to the Fence -

It wraps it Rail by Rail

Till it is lost in Fleeces -

It deals Celestial Vail

 

To Stump, and Stack - and Stem -

A Summer’s empty Room -

Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,

Recordless, but for them -

 

It Ruffles Wrists of Posts

As Ankles of a Queen -

Then stills its Artisans - like Ghosts -

Denying they have been -

  

Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886
