After our rehearsals were over, Rob, Steve, Allen, and I headed out to capture some of Singapore at night. This huge ferris wheel is very similar to the London Eye and I think it was put in to pull tourists to another area of the city. Actually, I have no idea why its there. We never went on it as we were too busy snapping away.
Our show was a success as always. I cant think of a better crew to work with. Actually, I don’t think I should be using the word work. Its like hanging out with friends!
I have really made a point to get out and capture a lot on this short trip. I have at least 1000 shutter clicks from Little India, China Town, The Esplanade, Night Shots, Our Show, street shots, Temples, and more.
As I kind of mentioned already, this City/State is quite safe. I can honestly say that I have felt safer in this huge city than any city I have ever been to in my life…..including my own! What makes that even weirder is I haven’t seen any police at all. A million security cameras….but no police presence. I wandered around last night till about 1AM with my camera without a single fear. Clean, safe, organized, vibrant, youthful, energetic, colorful, electric, and fast paced. All good things, but as a traveler seeking a taste of the Orient….kinda lame.
I like the “on the edge of your comfort zone” as a traveler of new places, so the idea of heading to Shanghai was a no brainer. The concierge here at the Shangra-La Hotel was able to get me a Visa in 2 days! Some of the guys left this afternoon, while Evan and I have a 7:30AM flight. The 5 hour flight will put me in downtown Shanghai, China at an area called “The Bund” by midday. That only gives me about 48 hours to explore this huge city, but I am up to the challenge.
More on all of this later….

Awesome POV, great effect of the wide angle. Love how the palms are leaning in and seem to hug the ferris wheel. Have a great weekend, Mike.
