While black and white photos are alluring and timeless, it's hard to ignore the colours of Georgetown. Handpicked 15 shots of what I think were the best of the crop in my Fujifilm X100s.
 |
| Trishaw and man. |
 |
| Locked. |
 |
| A colonial door along Beach Street. |
 |
| Yellow fire hydrants in Penang are turning red. Here's one that is still yellow found at Padang Kota Lama. |
 |
| Wall graffiti and street art are everywhere in Penang. Here's a bad-ass whale after a bad ass. |
 |
| Wire art adorning the vintage weather-worn walls of Georgetown. |
 |
| At the back alley, God of Prosperity is safe guarding the residents' wealth. |
 |
| A local grocery store. I used to patronize chai diam ma like this when I was a kid before giant malls sprouted. I slept in the same pink baby cradle too. |
 |
| A worker doing his job early in the morning. |
 |
| A barber shop. I wonder how many more shops have this red-blue-white striped bar these days. |
 |
| The tourist industry boomed. Souvenir shops sprouted too. Here's a shop that sells all kinds of owls imaginable. |
 |
| Seeing this made me smile. A teapot with a hairdo. |
 |
| A still purple lotus at a corridor on a busy street. |
 |
| Another street art juxtoposed against a torn wall and old window in Georgetown. I am no minion fan. |
 |
| Posted this in a black and white version but I thought, the colours gave the photo some nostalgic feeling. |
