As the title suggests, the Women photography exhibit of Annie Leibovitz focuses on Women who are celebrities in their respective fields. There is one wall of print photos featuring world leaders, scientists, peace workers, athletes, among others. Part of a 10-city global tour, the photos are currently on exhibit at the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station until May 22. The venue is a bit out-of-the-way but is in itself worth a visit being a historical place. Built in 1932, TPRS is now gazetted as a national monument. It was dusk outside (as seen from natural bluish light from the glass window) when my niece and I reached TPRS Portraits of Famous Women by Annie Leibovitz. The wall includes photos of Aung Sang Suu Kyi, Malala, and of course, Caitlyn Jenner:) Arresting black and white photography Landscape+dogs+human = winner! Aside from the print photo exhibit, there were two huge monitors (including the one on the left) projecting many of Leibovitz's photos....

Inspired by the black and white challenge on Facebook, I thought I'd put together some of my favourite black and white photos and share them here: Looking out into the Indian Ocean - Bali From inside a temple in Chail, a hill station near the Indian Himalayas Truly a great wonder - Taj Mahal, Agra in India This could be anywhere...but it is actually in front of the Jim Thompson House, Bangkok It mentions the Philippines? The facade of a hotel near La Rambla, Barcelona The serrated mountains of Montserrat, Spain Barcelona Winter Somewhere in Shanghai...why am I not surprised ;-) A man passing by a church (?)  in Shanghai Sun-salute in Maldives On the shores of Maldives...I could spend the rest of my days here...with a good book of course Windows along Madison Avenue -out here they seem to close shop early -it was not that late in the afternoon when I took this photo..or maybe I'm just used to the loooong hours in Asia ...
