Black and White Photography: Penang Bicycle
As I was getting ready to pull out of the Penang roadside parking, an aged old man got off his bicycle and made it lean against the white walls of a colonial building right next to my car.
With deliberate movement of his muscle, he bends to lock his bicycle wheels to deter thieves from taking away his only probable mode of transportation. After putting on the chains and double checking the padlock, the old man takes a good look at me; as if to determine if I could be a potential bicycle thief.
Satisfied that I am no threat to his precious bicycle, he walks slowly into one of the many little shops along the road. When the old man is out of sight, I took out my camera and took a single photograph of his bicycle in black and white.
