Picking up Pics & Pixels - Images from Singapore

By Mark Chan

The author (and photographer first) attempts to present images of his beloved home country Singapore, a country which surprises many that it has a capital city of the same name, for the simple reason that it is only an island of roughly 700 square kilometres. In this book, you will find images that generally depart from materials of the usual travel guide books. It is the author's perspective of Singapore, the multi-cultural, harmonious and one of the most sophisticated cities of this century.

For my wife Jermaine – for the patience, tolerance and understanding during my journey to create and complete this book. There were countless moments when she left me alone to concentrate on my creativity, or simply spend more time on our children whilst I create my images.

Her support is simple and subtle, but truly effective.

For my Nicole and Bryan – the two brightest and most precious gems in my life.
