Joo Chiat, Singapore

During my recent visit to Singapore, my colleague Aidan brought me around his neighbourhood, Joo Chiat (如切), a very historic Peranakan cultural area and nowadays also a popular Instagram-friendly spot.

I snapped some quick shots on my Leica MP, a classic film camera (btw, MP means Mechanical Perfection in Leica’s dictionary) and I only got time to process the film after I returned to Hong Kong. I love to record historic things on film. Sounds like a destiny, right? I wish Joo Chiat all the best, to keep the good balance between fashion and tradition and remain a unique spot in the Lion City.

This is my photography. This is my point of view about the world.
