Star Studded Street

The bar scene - cleaned and washed after a wild night
A warmup for the more risque shots they will take later.....
Breaking news - "Tourist caned for dropping candy wrapper"


Famous star, as far as you know.....




Singapore is a nice modern city. Very little old stuff survives for too long. An historical site today is a shopping mall tomorrow. A 10 year old office building is torn down or totally remodeled. One of the few old areas that survives is Emerald Hill, our street. (http://www.landseer.com.sg/conservation/images.html)

Consequently its a hot spot for locals, tourists, expats and photo shoots. Locals like to walk the street and some of the old timers talk about how Emerald Hill used to be. The shop houses were homes to either wealthy families or more commonly several families all living in one place. Our place was said to have housed over 30 people at one point. Hard for me to believe as it is hard enough now with 3 people and only 2 bathrooms and I am sure then there was only one bathroom then. We get wedding couples, model shoots, celebrity (it's all relative) shoots and many painters and photographers. There is always something happening on Emerald Hill Road .
