that's why i was looking for a decent number. bonrya, please join :-)

There is no strength in numbers in Geylang. The more people you have, the more the possibility of one guy doing something that piss off some people you do not want to piss off...

If you shoot alone or in small groups, it will be better, because you will not look threatening and you will not look conspicuous. And try to use a small camera and not DSLRs.

Mr Tung, I didn't go la. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :sweatsm:
 

I dont think this body of images really work for me in terms of in an depth understanding of the dynamics of the area

Even if they are hookers I think some decorum and respect should be shown towards them .... and what will a full frontal shot including face do ? Put an actual face of an alleged prostitute out for display ? And if she is not a prostitute but a legitimate resident ? The biased stereotypical prejudice of ANY woman seen or caught walking in Geylang is too obvious

Sometimes, you do not need to shoot a flower to show a flower

Can see its definitely a Brave effort and not easy at all to execute ....... I know that I would have failed miserably because this is water above my head.... so kudos and my respect to you guys who actually went and stepped out of your comfort zone

If returning, how would you do it differently next time ?
