I was there. You should go.

These guys take photographs

There are many people you meet in life who tell you a lot of things. Some share their joys with you by way of story-telling, many tell you their joys through highlight reels of their lives littered all over social media, and a couple may invite you into their journeys so you can be in them. I know a couple of these fellas from 5ivefootway.com and they say very little about themselves; yet I've known them dear by the very images they capture. Their exhibition titled 'Days We Met' now runs at Objectifs, Singapore from 9 - 24 January 2014. The artists themselves will speak on the 18th of January, 2014 in the afternoon.

Drop in. Sink in. Buy a print or 5ive.

I was there on the opening night and I have nothing to tell you about their works, YOU see them for yourself.

I saw people alike in heart and soul, and this is it.

Callan and Adam, to much support and fanfare from the community, as they do deserve.

Friends and industry fellas all coming to support because quality is shared and approved.

The fella touching his nose is a scumbag though. He owes a bunch of us waffles for a full year. He is @GenkiGenki on Twitter and curates beautifully on www.christophervu.com. HE IS A SCUMBAG JUST SPAM HIM DAILY with pictures of your offices and surrounding views that are *not* in Tai Seng HE LOVES IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

What are these photos about?

Look look it's Aik Beng Chia the world-famous (for real) mobile photographer in front of his photos and giggling with girls.

People checking things out.

People forgetting to log out.

Chii Fei lending his presence to the event.

Chii Fei and Jing Wen of 5ivefootway having a discussion I cannot possibly grasp.

See what I said about this scumbag? @GenkiGenki. Spam the fuck outta this one. Please. I implore you. Do it for the kids.

Jing Wen in front of his photos taken with his Hasselblad medium format camera, hence the rather romantic 1:1 square aspect ratios of his works. And of course we had to do the obvious joke.

Friendship and stories to be shared. Anywhere, anytime. Don't believe me? Go ask Aik Beng Chia about his photos. Be prepared to be blown away by how he got them. Even Danny Santos the world-renowned Orchard Road photographer was intrigued beyond his wildest fantasies.

Nick of @furryphotos fame doing his thing.

I mean seriously the guy came in these. Respect.

That's Donna Chiu of 5ivefootway, with arguably the most evocative photographs of the exhibition (to me). Speak to her. I've yet to myself but I will. DON'T LOOK AT ME WITH THAT TONE OF VOICE, YOU.

Adam of 5ivefootway taking you downtown.

Callan of 5ivefootway sharing his images.

This is a photograph of two beautiful girls. I would share with you their social media handles but I won’t. Deal with it.

Oh you think being in a photography exhibition with respected photographers won't involve silly gear whoring?

HAHA YOU SO STUPID.

SO. FUCKING. GLORIOUS.

So anyway drop in and have a look at the exhibition if you can and perhaps take away a little something for yourself (not the photos, please, wtf man).
