Phoneography weekly: Kwan Im Temple


A cluttered space. Kwan Im Temple, fronted by hawkers

Phoneography Monday Challenge: Street Photography
Apps used: Camera+, Snapseed
Hawkers offering flowers, incense and other prayer items for sale under brightly coloured tents. They stand at their carts before the popular Kwan Im Temple at Waterloo Street in Singapore.


Praying with joss sticks outside the Kwan Im Temple, probably to the heavens.

This horde of joss stick waving people suddenly stepped in front of me as I was trying to just take a general shot of the crowd writhing about the entrance of the temple. So I clicked. Not much reaction time there, hence the over-exposure and the man’s elbows being cut off.

A few paces before the temple, a busker sat tapping on a instrument that looked like an inverted wok. A cigarette hung on the the edge of tipping from his lips the whole time he was creating the melodious vibrations that resound in the air.

Photos taken with iPhone more than a month back.

  1. Great set of images to express your discoveries, especially like the addition of the moving image. The first is my favorite, because I feel like a voyeur watching the street life. Well done. Happy Phoneography Monday.

    • Thank you, Sally :) I was thinking the second might be too in your face :P but that is what was hidden behind the layer of hawkers.

  2. I love the colors and architecture in the first one. Very nice.

  5. The first photo has such a vibrant feel to it. I love all the different shapes in the image… like the huge variety of people. The vine is awesom..
