No offence, and I do not know from what culture you are coming from, but this comment sounds a bit innapropriate for most parts of the world, and the most bizzare thing is that someone liked it (+1!) too!

The pictures are very interesting though.

Hi! I actually liked his comments myself. Personally I find his comments "ok." It's not lewd or discriminating, at least not in my culture. Admittedly, I wouldnt really bother with getting offended by things on the internet, for if that is the case, I would start every day offended. Thus I took his 'request' as a compliment, but it would be snowing in Singapore if I comply. I would attest that my girlfriend wouldnt be offended by it as well.

I would judge a comment as discriminating, if say a person's physical attractivness or lack thereof is used to judge his/her competency at a different skill. However at the same time, we have to admit that the World is superficial and judge people by their looks, more often than not.

Photos I took are a reflection of how I see Singapore. For example the photo of the cigarette is motivated by the fact that we have one of the highest tax rate on tobacco in the World, and yet no shortage of smokers. And the flowers are a tribute to the ability of the city planners in squeezing in greeneries at every little corner. Technically I will have to improve, but the fun of photography is to use it to tell a story. Cheers.
