time flies, in a blink of an eye and its april already. means, YEAR 1 IS ENDING!!!! while this is the crazy exam period, i've decided to take some time out to blog a little, partly due to my slight guilt of not maintaining this, and partly to destress (though i haven't touched a single textbook today). but anyhow, this post is going to be more on the Singapore Biennale 2011.
The first (and last) time i went to the Singapore Biennale was sooo many years ago! then, i went with my loveliest friends and it was a blast. Thus, this year, i decided to go again, with Dan-The-Man.
Singapore Biennale was around for many years already, and i missed out a great deal of it. This year, SB2011 is held at 4 different locations(SAM@8Q. National Singapore Museum, Old Kallang Airport and the Merlion Park) , of which, i only went to three (all but Old Kallang Airpot). Yes yes, we were too laaazzzyyy to step out of town, even though there was a free shuttle bus service. To find out more about SB2011, check out the website here!
Anyway, this time round, i brought along my Baby, the brand new Olympus E-PL1 to shoot the pretty art pieces. I have used film, compact cameras and DSLRs before, but had never handled a micro- four thirds, so i have no idea what to expect. While the picture quality is awesome (and its not THAT noisy in low light), I would have preferred other controls (like a dial etc etc). Oh well, given that its such an old model and that i got it at a really really low price, i can't complain too much, can i?
Enough typing, let the pictures do the talking (:
At SAM & SAM@8Q
CREEEPPYYYYY. think i will be shocked awake if i dream of this at night! hahaha.
this is some bookcase with mirrors on both ends, make it seem as though its an endless book tunnel. totally loved the idea behind it!
Dan the Man actively trying to shoot photos, and the face on the wall is staring at him! HAHAHAHA
OH! i took this straight from the video they were slowing. the clarity, is.... just awesome.
At the Merlion Park (and on the way there!)
grainy effect, courtesy of the Baby. like the vintage feel of it!

NSM! which to me, was the most boring /:
tried this zooming effect without a tripod, argh. that's why its kind of blur. its okay, TRIPOD NEXT TIME! (not forgetting its weight /: )
these were probably the prettiest exhibits at NSM. <3ed them!
