Why I Keep Returning to Self-Satisfaction in Photography
Photography has always been about self-satisfaction, capturing only what I genuinely enjoy. For me, that means long exposure cityscapes at blue hour. There’s a quiet joy in building my online gallery, Top 40 Photo Gallery, one photo at a time. 😀 Singapore Skyline from Gardens by the Bay South. 28mm, f/9, 161 secs, ISO 100. …

From SG50 to SG60: A Decade Through My Lens
Singapore celebrated its 60th birthday, known as “SG60,” on 9 August 2025. Personally, I’ve been living in Singapore for nearly 20 years since my early 30s, so I also witnessed the historical SG50 milestone back in 2015, which doesn’t feel all that long ago.
