I’m spending the next three months on the beautiful island of Waiheke, a 30 minute ferry journey from central Aukland, New Zealand… Summer is just getting started here and the island is home to numerous internationally known vineyards, so I’ve been enjoying lots of good wine and the beginnings of what promises to be a warm summer.

En route to NZ I spent a few days in Singapore, most of my time was spent (as always in interesting foreign cities) wandering around with my camera and stopping occasionally for food and drinks. The city itself was pretty bland, lots of shopping malls and western style urban landscapes. I was fortunate enough to be staying in Little India, that and China-town were much more vibrant, people were friendly and the environment was visually and culturally interesting. I particularly like the old man getting a haircut on the street- he was happy having his photograph taken. Also the interesting looking man sat under the umbrella- He was some kind of psychic, telling people’s fortunes at the busy weekend market.

Here are the first set of my street photos, this set feel more “daytime” than my others, so I’ve grouped them like this simply as an easy way to separate them into 2 posts.
