Life – Casting Imitation Paper Money Into Water

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 21 September 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Thank you for coming by to have a look. Your thoughts and encouraging comments are always welcome! :)

It been very busy these days with some projects I have to attend to. So forgive me if I have not been visiting your p-blog on a more regular basis. I will try to do that whenever time permits.

In today’s Orton procesed shot we see an owner of a ferry casting imitation paper money into water. This was interesting as usually they would burn the imitation paper money as offering to their ancestors who have passed on.

I will not go into a philosophical discussion with some who may question such a practice and would not practice it for themselves due to religious reasons. All I can say is that if one was to think beyond the practice to the underlying intention for doing then one would realise that one possible motivation is really respect.

I guess in life respect is such an important factor – the lubricant that lubricates relationships.

May you have many well-oiled relationships.
