| Introduction | Photography found Alan in his early teens through the viewfinder of his Dad's Minolta X-300. He now shoots with a collection of compact rangefinders, most of them older than he. Given the constraints of his tiny apartment in Singapore's Chinatown district, he now works in a hybrid of manually developing negatives in photo chemicals and scanning them for the Web. He drinks umeshu and soups his negs in Kodak HC110, and tries not to mix his liquids. He shares his apartment with some 30 antique cameras, the eldest a 1949 Canon IIb, engraved "Made in Occupied Japan." It still works. |
