Phaedrus is back

Walked for 5-6 hours in the streets of Singapore - the law doesn't allow to walk on the express ways else would have walked there also.
Have been reading the "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and like what happened every time I have read it - the spirit hangs over the head and the question keeps popping up.

It rained hard while I was standing at the City Hall station.
Interestingly, never noticed how people react to rain. Different people do different things. Some people run on the road to reach the other side faster.
Never thought that for Singaporeans the next best possible alternative for umbrella was Newspaper. Interestingly, people with umbrellas were more wet then the people without - reason being that those without umbrellas were either not walking in the rain - avoiding it or rather running.
Wish I could take my camera out and capture all those people.
Interestingly, Singaporean kids notice the wet shorts more than the other kinds - may be this is a too good and disciplined of a place.

On the way back on Boat Quay noticed this old man cycling across.
It had been a bad day on road - only two photographs and that two average ones.

With Phaedrus in your head - I guess life is different.

engaging the wild beast

Perhaps you the know the subject, if you know me. Everything that has been known or unknown will loose its interest. It's the second nature to get bored and an eternal desire for more ..more and more..may be all the wines and all the soups before I die.
The eternal insatiable desire to learn and experiment.
Last Sunday was trying to set up an experiment to shoot the liquid droplets - failed miserably with the skill and set up. Wanted to do something more. Started playing with straws and clicked some shots which were at least better than the most I had been shooting lately.




Engaging this wild beast is almost impossible.
Sometimes I wonder is it some dis-order - some system malfunction but whatever it is.
Have to add fuel to this fire all the time other wise it will engulf me.


Just in case you are interested. I have also moved to flickr now. Expect selected favorite snaps on FLICKR too.

And buddies without the feedback how can I improve my skills.
