SINGAPORE: While bending over to get her food at the school canteen, this teacher did not realise that a male student was surreptitiously taking an upskirt photo of her — a moment that changed her life. Stacy learned of the upskirt photo only after two younger students informed her. No disciplinary action was taken against the boys, and because they were minors, they were not charged either.

At a corner of Sim Lim Square, a shop displayed commonplace items such as clothes hooks, alarm clocks, pens, portable chargers, car keys and spectacles in a glass shelf. Most of her customers said they use the cameras to keep an eye on their domestic helpers while others place them in their shops to catch their staff stealing items, she told Yahoo News Singapore recently. One customer even plucked out the eye of a stuffed teddy bear to fit a spy camera. Three other shops in Sim Lim that this reporter visited were also selling spy cameras. Such cameras are also available for sale on online shopping sites such as Lazada, Qoo10 and Taobao. The ease of getting these cameras is increasingly a source of concern as they have been used for voyeuristic reasons. They are also getting smaller in size, with the capacity to record in high definition, making them harder to detect, said private detectives that Yahoo News Singapore spoke to.

With more than images by nearly photographers from around the world, the show offers a range of historical and contemporary explorations of pinhole photography. The mechanics of the medium, dating from the s to today, consist of a no-lens, light-tight container with a pinprick hole allowing light to strike an emulsified support — be it paper, metal, or film. The basic concept traces back to the camera obscura, first utilized in the 16th century. There are 40 cameras on display, in addition to a range of images including tintypes, cyanotypes, SXs, and platinum, Van Dyke, and pigment prints.
The lighter had been lying there for a few days, she said. When she touched it, she was shocked to find a red light blinking. She took the object back to her room and found the lighter was actually a USB stick containing a lens. Photo: weibo.
