It's not usual that I feature the photographic portfolios of other photographers on this blog but the exception is the work of
Frank Starmer.
Frank lived in the same condo as I did,Queens, which is as its name suggests in Queenstown, Singapore. I would often seem him trudge off in the morning with his camera gear and tripod as he went in search of insects and particularly spiders. He is still doing so and generously puts his work online and allows non commercial sites to share it.
I always find it interesting that two photographers in the same environment can respond to their surroundings in totally different ways. Frank takes macro images using special lens to capture the structure and colour of nature while I chose to focus on the broader visual aspects of Queenstown. Both in our own way recording the things that inspired us about Singapore life.
