Alienated


A year ago, i was assigned to Singapore for set up new project.

Friend of mine in office, showed me a point and shoot, panoramic 135 camera.
Just simple point and shoot that after pressed the shutter I just turn the dial for film advance.

unknown to me the film advance sometimes jammed, gave the double images to celluloid

I managed to walk around on Orchard, Little India and Chinatown

So this was Singapore To me

CIganea - Sukatani: Train is Coming







Suddenly, it was announced in loudspeaker, that train would come immediately.




so I moved to safe place and took pictures of activities and people inside the train, as I never know them, where and why they were in train.





and few minutes, train continued to steam to its destination.


it's just like sisyphean task

CIganea - Sukatani: Life Near Railway Station


















A usual trip of 'nothing-to-do-at-home-on-saturday' with friends.




This time we went to Ciganea and Sukatani, I post then Ciganea-Sukatani, since i didn't know which one is which.




and as usual we looked for train station, i never really understand why we love railway station so much.

whether it is about hello and goodbye, arrive and depart or just simple we love the locomotive and the uniform of station chief.



so we walked around near the railway and greeting every people there.

we were there from early morning, meet the students who went to school, and toddlers with their parents, and as usual eating porridge then started conversation of what is the nearest schools, settlers, mosque, market or anyplaces when people interract.
