Haji Lane is a well-known street in Singapore that reminds me just a touch of the SoHo neighborhood in NYC. A stroll along this narrow street will charm you with its rows of trendy boutiques and quaint cafes. What makes this neighborhood unique is its eye-catching street art with images that literally pop from the walls. What's more, you can experience the different flavors of Haji Lane depending on the time of day. During the day, the boutiques are fun to browse through, even if you don't end up buying anything! Plus, the cafes are great for a daytime catch-up session with friends. By nightfall, Haji Lane transforms from a shopping district into a spot for night time revelers. Bars invite passerbys with live music performers in a cozy, intimate setting. One of my favorite places is Bar Stories. There is no menu, you simply describe to the mixologist what tastes you're in the mood for in your drink and voila, they create a concoction just for you. (Psst, just a tip - request something with fire.)

This past weekend, I had a great time shooting with a talented young photographer. Many thanks to Utek for this photography collaboration. Check out his photoblog on www.youtakephotos.com or his instagram account @utekkie.
