This extra picture is here in the series because a friend of mine requested an 'encore' for this series. lol

They will be gone by 2016. What lies in the future for its residents and tenants are unknown. All the best to all of them! With this, my mini-series An Hour in Rochor has come to an end. Hope you guys like it!

Subconsciously, everyone is protesting against something. 

In photography, there are those who are against mobile photography to be a legitimate form of photography or art form. Of course those who got denied will fight for their rights. But one funny thing I've learnt is that some of these people who've got denied are in turn denying desktop photoshop to be a legitimate editing tool. The reason is being mobile photography should consist of things done only within the mobile tools. So it's like slapping their own face because if this is the reason, then others could well said that photography should be done only with a 'real' camera and not from a phone. 

Another thing I've learnt is that everything is valid in their own rights. So to me, all these 'protests' are quite redundant. They're dividing people up to take sides, instead of gathering all to share how nice the end product, the pictures can be. For me, I'll use whatever that'll make my picture looks nice and that's all it matters.

Most of the time I heard people say that they missed the things happening around them because they're too busy etc. I think the truth is more like they didn't bother to concentrating on those things in the 1st place. I'm sure no one will missed a pretty girl or a handsome guy walking by.

The whole place seems to be like a huge old folks' home at some point of time.

This coffee uncle has been working at 1 of the many coffee shops in Rochor Center, even after the shop has changed management.

Tried something new with this shot, triple framing!

As I looked through the many patterned holes through a wall, I saw this scene...and took a shot quickly without hesitation.

A worker washing the dishes in one of the coffee shop at Rochor Center. Quickly took a shot when I saw this scene.

Somehow this shot reminds me a bit of Hong Kong.

The same elderly from my previous post. It is interesting to see him talking out his mobile phone and started shooting the pigeons. There's a little photographer in everyone

Wonder what is he thinking. Might be reminiscing since this place will be gone in a few years.

This is a mini series illustrating 12 shots of 5 minutes interval each, that I took during an hour of seeking shelter in Rochor Centre from the heavy downpour. 

Rochor Centre is a building consisting of 4 blocks with over 180 shops. A lot of elderly lives or hangout there. It was built and completed in 1977 but will soon be demolished to make way for an expressway by 2016... sad isn't it?
