I've been going to Brewers games my whole life. County Stadium as a little kid, season tickets at Miller Park, and tailgates with friends as an adult. Wisconsin kid, and I still can't believe the Brewers are World Series champions.

First time back in Singapore in eight years.

This was the city that made me fall in love with photography in the first place, my first trip to Asia, and where I met some friends I still talk to today. When I first came here, I was still getting into photography, with a Sony a6000 in hand. This time, I came back with a Sony a7IV.

Coming back this time wasn't even the plan. I was working through Malaysia and made a last-minute stop here for about a week on the way through. No real agenda, just a camera and time to revisit old places and find some new ones.

A lot's changed. Jewel didn't exist back then. That whole waterfall atrium is new to me. The light show at Marina Bay Sands has changed too, from what I remember and what I've heard since. The city keeps changing without ever losing that futuristic feel.

Good to be back. Long overdue.

24 hours in George Town wasn't nearly enough.

It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, built up over centuries as a trading port where Chinese, Malay, Indian, and British communities settled side by side, and you can still feel that layering everywhere you look. Clan jetties built on stilts, still standing, still lived in. Colonial shopfronts a block away from temple courtyards, like nobody ever thought to separate the eras.

Don't make the same mistake I did. Give it more than a day.

I knew Kuala Lumpur as a skyline before I knew it as a city.

The Petronas Towers, over and over, every time it crossed my feed, mostly from my Singaporean friends, always posting from their trips over.

Finally got there myself, and it wasn't what I expected.

Mosques mid-call to prayer next to monorails. Flower vendors working stalls their families have run for years. Macaques posted up at a cave temple like they own the place.

Wish I hadn't waited this long. Already thinking about the next trip back.
