‘i wish i knew how it would feel to be free’

partly to answer j’s qn, and partly to coincide with the soft launch of our brand new casino, jh is also soft launching a new site:
jhender.com/inphotos – where you’ll find selected nice photos and photog-related ramblings
jhender.com/inwords – where i’ll write my usual personal emo nonsense that doesnt fit well with photos

thaipusam

Im glad I did not try to go to the temple at 3am! it would certainly have been much harder to take photos. I had realised that (1) i havent properly gone to watch thaipusam in singapore despite being here for so many years (2) my camera was itching to do something.

I think Singapore is a very dangerous city.
