If you read my blog often enough, you will know that I like to do a lot of night photography. Very often, I set my exposures up to 30 minutes, which can be a real pain in the ass standing in the dark and doing nothing.
To kill time, I surf a lot of Facebook, Twitter and 9Gag on my phone to while waiting for the 30-minute exposure to end.

Helps that he looks a tad like Arsenal footballer Thiery Henry.

When I got started with photography, I regarded Little India as my training ground of sorts to improve my craft.
Armed with a Yashica GSN (rangefinder for poor people like me), I walked around the streets to talk to people and ask for their permission to take a portrait of them. It was a very rewarding time for me back then as I had learn a lot in terms of approaching your subjects.
Fast forward four years later, I was having midnight coffee with a few friends on Chinese New Year day and we decided to hit the streets of Little India for a short photo walk.

Lina Goldberg of My Big Fat Face is a food blogger based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
In her most recent blog entry, she recalled how one annoying tourist (with a DSLR) treated a local lady trying to sell flowers. Instead of buying anything from the local, this unnamed tourist basically treated her like some exotic animal and took photos non-stop.
