The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
a photo anecdote
Chinatown, Singapore
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is Singapore's biggest Buddhist temple nestled in the busy streets of Chinatown.
I was standing near the entrance of this enormous temple for a few minutes trying to squeeze its grand and colorful facade in all corners of my frame. After a few pictures, something was missing. So I waited a little longer… clicked… and waited some more....
Finally! a man stood in the middle of my frame saying his prayers.
The human element made this a better photograph. It showed the scale of the temple and a much better story evolved.
