This is a continuation of our visit to explore the innards of the Capitol Theatre of Singapore. You can read the first part of the writeup here.

Capitol Theatre Revisited – Part 1
After I chanced upon the interior of the Capitol Theatre sometime ago, I decided to revisit it to see if I can get more shots of the interior. This time round, I got Gilbert and Boon Hwee along and we visited it another 3-4 times, each time covering a different section of what was the… Continue reading Capitol Theatre Revisited – Part 1
Moonrise Over Supreme Court
Ok, not quite moonrise, but I was kind of surprised to still see the moon at 10:05am. Against the blue skies (rare in Singapore), it makes a good backdrop for the dome of the old Supreme Court of Singapore.

Hin Hollywood Canteen
Just before the Hari Raya Puasa holiday, my good friend Boon Hwee asked if Gilbert and I would like to shoot the Hin Hollywood Canteen, near the Paya Lebar/Tanjong Katong area. It was to be closed for redevelopment from 1 Sep 2011. Being a fan of historical places as well as an interest of documenting… Continue reading Hin Hollywood Canteen
A Visit To My Childhood Home

It is part of the Selective En-Block Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), and by now most of the residents have moved out. Not wanting to lose a… Continue reading A Visit To My Childhood Home
