Portrait of Lion

There's no Lion face you will see here but just Singapore's Cityscape, Street and People.
It's 4 days 3 nights single backpack trip during my holdiays.
Why Singapore? Well, it's a small and nearest country that easy to access majority of the local places and attraction.

Everyday woke up around 7:30am and back to bed around 1:00am, walking and snapping around the city everyday & night.
Some of the Street shots are "Hip Shot" (without aiming) from Lomo 10 goldgen rules.
The trip is also my own Documentary Assignment about Singaporeans' lifestyle & environment.
Hope you Enjoy it...
