Grandpa gone digital.

Cha and Adam going to Dubai same day and time Grandpa left for Australia.















Me sending of Grandpa at the airport. Rushed from work.




Le dernier fois j'ai vu mon grandpere, j'avais 21ans...

This time I was lucky to catch him while he was here in Singapore. I was afraid I might find a fragile, stooped old man, but I was pleasantly surprised. He still walks upright, as graceful as before, as quiet. His hair might have turned white, but it was the same warmth shining from his eyes, welcoming a long lost soul.

Grandpa took the best pictures. He documented my childhood. The pictures you see below as I am growing up were all taken by him (though I must admit, I hated being the subject, and I still dislike being made to stand in front of the camera). He gave me a love for photography though. Over the years I realised how important his photographs were to become to me. Especially those who captured the images of people I never got to know.

Grandpa has gone back to Australia now. Who knows when we will meet again. I am thankful to see him once more, and to be able to document this meeting in my own way.

And yes, Grandpa, who used to be a Yashica and Nikon freak, has gone digital too!
