Please see the earlier post for an introduction.
After waking up past 2pm, I decided to finish the second half of my roll. So off I headed to the market again, to capture some scenes at a time when most of the stores would have closed.
The friendly yong tau foo seller was the last to finish washing up her store.

Condensed milk tins lined up against the wall. Yes, I love the tins because it evokes a sense of nostalgia for me.

All the shutters were down by around 4pm.

It was overall a very fun experience. I was initially quite fearful of getting scolded -- Singaporeans don't seem to like being photographed -- but it turned out all right. In fact, the friendlier store holders I chatted to were quite game to be photographed. A smile can go a long way sometimes.
I've chosen my photos for the final submission -- compiled a series based on the friendly butchers, and a couple of single shots. I hope my photos will be chosen for exhibition!
