"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

I'm In-Between...


I've had just enough time to...   get out from in-between...

Shot on the last day in Singapore...


The last few days I was in Singapore with my team to do development work on a new project with some really nice people. Every morning when I went down from the 24th floor and coming out of the lift when I returned at night; I will look out the window sandwiched between the two rows of lifts. Always looking for something worthy to shoot and each time wondering whether I have a story for the little child’s bicycle with the pink frame outside the balcony. But I did not shoot that. On the last morning as I was about to rush down to check out, I again looked out the window. It was a dark and rainy morning, kind of gloomy. It was then, for the first time I noticed the world in-between the two apartment blocks…


...on a rainy and gloomy morning,


In-betweens

I’m in-between.
In-between jobs
The last one’s no good
The new one’s not promising
But I’m in-between
So I guess that’s okay

I’m in-between relationships
The old one’s heart-breaking
The current one’s temporary
So I guess
That makes it tolerable

I’m in-between Lives
Up to now, it is kinda disappointing
So I need some re-inventing
For my Life is in-between

In-between
All those in-betweens…


I saw for the first time, the world in-between.. in-betweens

  1. Wonderful interpretation of that view. You were very perceptive to spot it. An amazing feeling, isn't it, when just a glimpse of something from the corner of your eye can inspire such introspection, feeling and emotion.

  2. Thanks Mark for your insightful comment. Yes, I always find it thrilling whenever an inspiration jumps up from something I observed. This is what I hunt for when photographing, not knowing what I seek yet sure of it when I see it. Thanks!

    Taken on the last day in Singapore as I was about to rush down the lift to check out. One glance and I saw what I wanted to shoot but I did not see it there the last 3 days I was looking for something to shoot. Wonder why I missed the world in-between? :)

    These were the balconies I was considering whether was worth while to shoot. The story did not come so I did not shoot. I made this shot as a supplement to the in-between shot. I don't understand myself so I don't expect others will :)

    A pleasing creative snap. Could be used as a texture.

    A melancholic mood, a wish, a hope perhaps....

    You saw the world in between, I saw the distance between the two building . The world in between is our relationship with others, friends , colleagues , parents , children ..and the gap between ,is the respect to each other .
