Blank walls. Patterned floor.
Phoneography Monday Challenge: Black and White
Apps used: Camera+, Snapseed
Continuing last week’s coffee shop drinks photos, this week, let’s take a look at the interior decor of a place where these drinks are commonly enjoyed.
Food republic was the first food court in the country to open themed food courts. Subsequently, all the new food courts have caught on to the fad and come with their interiors designed according to the trends.
This photo was taken in one corner of the Malaysian Food Street at Resorts World, Sentosa, named so because the food court and food was planned to simulate that – old-school coffee shops/hawkers in Malaysia. In this case, I guess they were going for a 1960s-70s vibe. I didn’t like the tile floor in colour, but the pattern works for me in black and white :D
I was sitting at a table and simply shot upwards and downwards without moving from my seat.

Like them both for the contrast and tone. Happy Phoneography Monday.

Very cool. I love that floor, very old school looking.

^ ^ I only like it in black and white :D Could be quite quirky in a home… but I suppose it will start to look tired really fast too.

Nice!! When I first looked at the “up” photo, it made me think of hauling someone up in a basket–weird and whimsical, I know, but… There are some many interesting lines and “things” in that first one and I do like the patterns of the tiles in the second. Reminds me of the bathroom in the house in which I grew up. It had those octagonal white tiles with the black rim.

I like your mental image of the first one ^ ^… makes the picture more imaginative than it is in real life! :P And yes, I like the floor pattern too, but only in black and white.

Excellent subjects for black and white. Lots of composition and contrast. Good stuff!

Thank you, interiors do lend themselves to nice pictures… after the designer has finished with it ^ ^… that makes me sound lazy though ho-ho :P

Ohh I do like the floor pattern in black and white, but I can imagine how it could instantly become gaudy in colour!

Exactly… it was a disgusting dull orange and maroon combination. D:

I really like the second image. The roundness of the stool is a nice juxtaposition to the lines and squares of the tile, and yet there is a circle in the floor pattern as a counterpoint as well. The worn-ness of the stool and tile make it less stark than it might be given the black and white treatment. I’m REALLY glad it’s not in color! Orange and maroon? Bleck! lol Nice job!
