Ajunied Rd., all’incrocio con la trafficata Sims Ave, in un quadrato di erba contrastato da un parcheggio in costante espansione, si trova un mercato coperto da una struttura a tendone che ha visto tempi migliori. I fasti e i lustri di Marina Bay o di Orchard Rd. sono lontani, chi abita qui si accontenta di produzioni con marchi totalmente sconosciuti, realizzati in un Asia a basso costo lavoro con  materie prime che spesso sono abbastanza scadenti.

La parte “food” tanfa di durian in modo persistente (leggetevi la mia esperienza nell’assaggio di questo frutto in questo post), i prezzi dell’abbigliamento non superano la decina di $ di Singapore (vale 0.60€, poco più della metà), gusto e design sono discutibili: basti citare le oltre 30 differenti coper con PSY e Gagnam-Style.

Qualche scatto ….

It has been more than fifty years since I began traveling across the world — and the seven seas — for work or for pleasure, always with a Leica M camera close at hand. The camera has never been an accessory; it has been a constant companion, a way of observing, remembering, and making sense of the places and people I encountered along the way. I started keeping this kind of journal some time ago, not as a diary in the traditional sense, but as a space where images and words could meet. This is not a publication driven by schedules or algorithms. At times I disappear for long stretches; then, inevitably, I return with semi-regular updates. Publishing, for me, is a mirror of my state of mind and emotions. It follows my rhythm, not the other way around. You have to take it exactly as it comes. Every photograph you see here is mine. They are fragments of a life spent moving, looking, and waiting for moments to reveal themselves — often quietly, sometimes unexpectedly. This blog is not about destinations, but about presence. About what remains when the journey slows down and the shutter finally clicks.
