Small towns intrigued me.
I was in Ipoh for a work trip yesterday, and I was taken back to the times where I did not fret over deadlines or lose sleep over not having many tasks striked out my list. It was a day of bright yellow painted shop amidst the run down shoplots, old Chinese lady cycling in a relaxed manner around town, cars which do not speed up upon seeing the yellow light instead they slow down and a little girl and her cute little umbrella of which I used to own one (the umbrella, not the girl). Many other things. There was a burned down building down the road of which most of its construction components were still intact. I was tempted to walk in & explore. I was in a room listening to a briefing; instead my mind wandered off of how good the bright sunny Ipoh would look like on my supersampler prints.
By the way, the photographer over at our Ipoh office took pictures of the briefing with a film SLR. Does anybody even do that anymore? Lovely! (Photo from picturepal as I haven't developed my own roll)

Zana, happy to hear you had a mesmerising time in Ipoh. Although perhaps your new supersampler makes all the difference, I'm going to assume it's the town :)
I knew you would comment :)
I always love to explore new places through the lens of my cameras, preferably film ones. The places I've grown accustomed to look bleary on prints. So yes darling, it's actually the town.
