Description A shop house in Malacca closes its bright green shutters to customers come evening.

Taken sometimes last year during my trip to Malacca, the bright green metal shutters of this shoplot just completely attracted me, so I had to stop and take a few shots. I was rather near and was worried it would come blurry (hard to tell what kinda focusing is going on with the lomo), but it turned out pretty cool! I like the composition, and the cross-processing gave this shot an extra greenish colour.

After scanning the pic, the name of this Outkast song came into my mind. I don't entirely know how Tomb Of The Boom links up to this image but since I can't come up with a better title... oh well!


Camera: Lomo LC-A
Film: Fujichrome Provia 400F Professional (cross processed)
Photoshop: Scan, border, a little sharpness and saturation to match the photo quality. My scanner tends to blur out photos a little bit... no idea why!

interesting title -- i like it a lot!
never hear the song though

and the picture...very powerful. the gold lock is a great subject. it would be rather boring if not for the awesome green door. gives it a "doesnt belong" kind of feel.

mmmmm great shot!

mmmmmm nice
the borders of the lomo make it look like the shutters are a bit bended inwards, like it's a tube (but it's not)... which is nice
