I found an old roll of black and white from the 1998 Singapore Motorshow and since I never made any prints from it, I decided to have them professionally scanned. These are the results. It was definitely a different era, a golden age where performance driving machines took centre stage and ignited the hearts and souls of many a young (and young at heart) petrolhead with no SUVs nor crossovers in sight. I'm glad I was there to witness it. Why black and white? Well, it's not for "artistic" reasons that's for sure. The reason for shooting with my trusty rolls of ilford film were far more practical. Picking up photography was seriously expensive and while I'd love to have shot in colour, developing roll after roll of coloured film would have crippled my finances as a broke-ass design student (I couldn't even afford to eat at McDonald's). But being a design student, I had free access to the school's darkroom, allowing me to develop a countless number of black and white films DIY by myself as I emptied roll after roll of monochrome to improve my composition skills on a fully manual FM10. (Also helped by my lecturer giving us an entire carton of expired B/W film to use for free) Back then, taking a photo also meant having no idea what would the end results be and with only 24-36 shots per roll, every shot needed to count. It truly was a different time. The Audi TT also first arrived on the scene, bringing with it the first ever use of flush integrated bumpers and large geometric wheel arches that formed part of the visual design. Two highly influential design touches that would go on to be copied by almost every manufacturer for years to come. Renault was smoking some crazy shit back in the 90s. Remember their Espace F1? When BMW's tagline was The Ultimate Driving Machine. Yes, these existed and were registered in Singapore. All have been exported.
