Deadpoet's Defunct Cave

found two galleries with 'old' photos of singapore. 'old' is relative, of course. things change here so fast that even photos from five years ago seem very different. so it's pretty amazing to look back at photos before digital cameras.

if you've got your camera while your out, take a photo of your surroundings 'cos you'll never know when it's going to change.
