This online shoebox contains random pictures, notes, whatever. I've been a professional writer-photographer for so many years now. It's a damn good excuse to carry a camera around.

It's hard not to notice it. From those tall arches, to the moody lighting and that strange calm one
feels when walking inside. I don't know if this is a coincidence or what, but the similarity is
striking. And creepy too:

Can it be that the Resorts World Casino entrance was inspired by church architecture???
This is soooo not right...

Here's a first look at Singapore's newest attraction. See it now before the view becomes cheap and

The swimming pool is open only to hotel guests:

new Helix bridge on the bottom left:

The infinity pool flows on into the cityscape:

The recent Singapore Night Festival featured the eerie Paraboles 2.0, an installation/performance
showcase of moving "satellite dishes", stroboscopic lights and creepy alien sounds. This was all so
cool.

The two dancing ladies... errr, aliens.... whatever wasn't. I'm not even sure if they were actually
dancing. Ok, they were just "moving". I guess I'm not artsy enough to understand...
hahaha.....
