Valentine’s day should be declared a public holiday. For one, there’ll be many who feel the weighty responsibility of stimulating the economy. A second group of people need time and space to mourn their misfortunate societal position. And a third school of thought, those with much snide and snare buried within, need to stay away from the vulnerable two groups, before they laugh to their deaths the inanity of it all.

You see, this is a heck of a dangerous day, one that is so emotionally and financially taxing for mankind. Who should have even a fibre of strength to get through the daily grind at the office?

So please, for the sake of world peace – please make Valentine’s a day off.

Bugis in 7 frames

I fired about 30 frames in 20 minutes. I don’t often drain my ’rounds’ quickly because film is after all expensive. But on the street stories are happening every second and requires me to act promptly. Also, taking on the lomo philosophy – ‘don’t think just shoot’ – allowed me to consider less technique and focus on the scene ahead. Here are 7 favorite frames from the lot.

Shot on the Nikon FM2
50mm, f1.4
ISO400, Digitally grayscaled.
These are much nicer to view in large(r) format, and you can see a slightly bigger .jpeg in the link.
