It rains a lot in Singapore. Ninety-five inches a year. So naturally, we had our share of rain during our two-day shoot there with a group of pbase photographers from three countries. Our delightful host, Ai Li, http://www.pbase.com/limaili ) suggested that we wait it out in the city’s library. As it turned out, the rainstorm led to one of my favorite images of the visit, made through that library’s very wet window. I used the raindrops and deeply shadowed landscape to abstract the scene, creating an incongruous contrast. The subject, the city’s new Ferris Wheel (a version of the famous London “Eye”) should symbolize fun, yet the image seems to weep. The image is essentially monochromatic, which is a form of abstraction in itself. The only color is the greenish tint to the sky and the flowing headlights of the cars.
