ELEPHANT PARADE WANNABEES
These elephants are not part of the official Elephant Parade Singapore 2011 but were found wondering with the herd at Tang.  Work hard guys, maybe next year they'll make you part of the parade.

    Fantastic! 2 thumbs up. Looks like you managed to shot nearly all the elephants. Just a qn. In the official map, there was 2 elephants at Wheelock place. Did you manage to find the 2nd elephant?

  2. James TannNovember 29, 2011 at 4:27 PM

    Thanks Paul.

    The missing one at Wheelock Place that you referred to, #31 Revenge of the Animals, was damaged (vandalised) as it was made of papier-mache. It is in the animal hospital now and will be displayed at the Singapore Art Museum after it is healed. Should be before 1st December, according to the Elephant Parade organisers.

    The other damaged elephant at the Asia Civilisation Musem, #99 Gajah Tidur, should also be returned to its place about the same time.

    Thanks for the update, James.

    I'm trying to shoot as many of the elephants as I can before they are all moved to Botanic Garden.

    Hello Paul,
    If you are reading this, you might want an update?
    The damaged #31 Revenge of the Animals will be displayed at SAM from 7 Dec, while the repaired #99 Gajah Tidur will be back at ACM on the same date as well

    Hope this helps you in yr quest to complete your shoot of all 162 animals.

    Hi fellow Elephant Parade enthusiast.

    Last Saturday I was at the Esplanade area but couldn't locate #130 NATURE SOUND. Instead, in its place, I found #71 DADA, THE SURREALIST ELEPHANT (which I've shot at 313).

    There are a lot movements here and there.

  6. James TannDecember 6, 2011 at 7:29 PM

    Hello Xenophober,
    Yes I believe they are moving some to 'safer' locations due to 'wear and tear' or more likely vandalism.
    You might be interested to know that Starry Starry which is supposed to be at MBS is actually at The Art House, which is not listed in any of the official brochures.

    ReplyDelete
  7. PaulDecember 6, 2011 at 10:26 PM

    Hi Xenophober

    Nature Sound has been shifted to 313 Somerset.

    Other changes I know: Deep Inside (#122) shifted from MBS to Raffles Place. Damaged Dumbo (#90) Shifted from Raffles Place to MBS.

    A few missing pieces (appreciate any leads)

    #50 Yunnan (Not at Tangs Plaza)
    #62 Re-Birth (Not at Paragon when I was there 5 Dec but was told it would be shifted to main entrance)

    James, thanks for the update on #31 and #99. I was appalled to learn that some pieces (#98 #100?) at the ACM was at the paid exhibition area. Not that I'm a cheapo but my focus is not on the other ACM exhibits so I really dun want to pay $8 just to shoot 2 elephants :P

  8. James TannDecember 6, 2011 at 10:52 PM

    Hi Paul,

    Yes, Deep Inside and Damaged Dumbo swap places right from the beginning (Raffles Place<>MBS). They assisted with this change by placing a notice on the plaques.

    Yunnan IS at Tangs. Its at the side door facing Lucky Plaza. I had some difficulty looking for it too (and the staff not too helpful sadly) but managed to spot it by chance on the way out.

    'Rebirth' at Paragon has been sent for protective clear coating paintwork after the paper glue dried. It was actually on display for a few days immediately after the live painting. If it takes about the same time for the paint to dry, then I presume it should be back at the main entrance beside the other live painted 'Baby Paragon' which came back a week after it was finished on site by the artist. They are not out on the street but by the main glass doors (behind the golden black Christmas Tree).

    Yea, like you, I also refused to pay to enter ACM to shoot the 3 elephants (#98 #100 #102) inside! I'll wait for it to be moved to Botanic Garden next month. There are 3 outside ACM, including the repaired Gajah Tidur, 1 inside the entrance foyer and 1 upstairs foyer which you can go up without paying the entry fee. (So total 5 for free)

    Worse is the single one at the Philatelic Museum (#82 Baby Emily). You can see the elephant from the foyer. It's just about 10 feet from the barrier but you got to pay $5 to cross the barrier. The staff were also unhelpful when I ask if I could just take a picture of the elephant. No, you got to pay the entrance fee! So I just said stuff it and walked up to Fort Canning to shoot the other 2 there.

  9. James TannDecember 6, 2011 at 10:54 PM

    I am still contemplating whether to go to the zoo?
    Its not the fee but the distance and time required to walk round the park!

  10. James TannDecember 6, 2011 at 11:09 PM

    By the way, you DON'T need to pay the $10 entrance fee at SAM to see the elephants as it's not inside the art galleries. Just tell the reception you want to see only the elephants and they'll let you pass. Alternatively, just enter SAM via the Museum Shop, walk through it and out the other side door, take the lift on the right of the shop to Level 2. The elephants are in a room beside the lift. Just be aware that Elephantasm is in another special darkened room beside the other elephants and you might miss it as it is not obvious that there is another room there.

  11. XenophoberDecember 7, 2011 at 10:09 AM

    The staff at SAM are really helpful, kind and above all understanding. I am quite disgusted with the staff from the Philatelic Museum, it's just an elephant we want to shoot. Maybe you should bring a zoom lens and shoot behind the barrier. :)

    I was fortunate on the 27th Nov it's open house at Philatelic Museum and I get to enter free (although there's not much of interest to me besides the elephant).

    James you are good. Already 130 elephants captured! I'll be visiting the zoo this Sunday. Praying for good weather!!!

    Hi James + Xenophober

    Thanks for the leads, updates and tips espectially on the Philatelic Museum and SAM. Very helpful.

    Looks like another trip to Tangs is in order (My 3rd in 2 weeks!) :P

  13. PaulDecember 9, 2011 at 5:31 PM

    Hi guys

    Just some quite update after a day of elephant shooting.

    #50 Yunnan is really gone from Tang Plaza. Its no longer at the entrance facing Lucky Plaza

    #62 Re-Birth is still not put up at Paragon

    #31 Revenge of the Animals is indeed at SAM but now #77 The Eleg(ph)ant Cage is now gone.

    #99 Gajah Tidur is back at SAM.

    Still need to tally the rest of my shoot for today but the number of elephants was correct for ORQ, Marina Promontory and Marina Bay City Gallery.

  14. James TannDecember 9, 2011 at 9:58 PM

    Thanks Paul,

    Sorry if I had misled you on a wild elephant chase to Tangs for Yunnan. It was there last Friday when I was at Orchard Road. By the glass door facing Lucky Plaza (oops, the elephant was inside by the glass door, not outside, did you look inside?) If you did, then they must have moved it.

    I was down at ACM this afternoon and snapped #31 Revenge of the animals and you are right, #77 is gone. They also swap positions with Elephantasm and White Elephant. White elephant is now inside the darkened room, which is apt for its name.

    Guess what, I went to Philatelic Museum again on the chance that maybe if I asked again, they might just like me take a shot. They did. They were nicer this time (different person).

    I have done all the elephants from the city now. All that's left are the 25 from the zoo.

    ReplyDelete
  15. James TannDecember 10, 2011 at 7:27 PM

    I did it! What joy and sheer satisafaction!
    Today I shot the last of the 162 elephants at the Singapore Zoo.
    My photo collection of them in situ is complete.

    The shoot at the zoo was the most difficult as the 25 elephants located there were scattered all over the 28 hectares of the zoo compound. But it was fun trying to locate each one, almost like you're on a big game safari.

    Next is to photograph them all together when all 162 are moved to Botanic Garden for one last gathering before being auction off for charity.

  16. XenophoberDecember 10, 2011 at 8:57 PM

    Good job completing the hunt James! Tomorrow is my visit to the ZOO. Hope I don't have to walk in circle to capture all 25 of them!

    Slight update (as of 10 Dec):
    #50 Yunnan is STILL at Tangs Orchard. Enter through where #56 Christmas Baubles are, look to your LEFT. It's by the staircase.

    #77 The Eleg(ph)ant Cage is at Wheelock Place now. It was swapped with #31 Revenge of the Animals.

    #99 Gajah Tidur - Where is it?? I didn't see it when I was at SAM. :(

  17. XenophoberDecember 10, 2011 at 9:15 PM

    Sorry forgot to update on #62 Re-Birth. Paul, it's already up at Paragon. It's by the main entrance, side-by-side with #61 Baby Paragon

    ReplyDelete
  18. James TannDecember 10, 2011 at 11:04 PM

    Xenophober,
    #99 Gajah Tidur is not at the SAM. It's at the ACM.
    It's on the green beside the path between Cavenaugh Bridge to the ACM entrance.

    James

    *kudo* Great job!

    Xenophober

    Sorry for the typo on #99 Gajah Tidur. It was indeed at ACM and not SAM. Thanks for the update on #50 and #77. Do you know if #62 is finally back at Paragon?

    Guess I have to make another trip to Tangs on Monday. #50 is damn elusive for me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. XenophoberDecember 11, 2011 at 6:29 PM

    Ahhh so #99 Gajah Tidur is at ACM. I need to go back for it. Good thing I stay nearby. :)

    #62 has been in Paragon all along, Paul. The first time I went there about 2 weeks ago it was being work on, staff from Muji are pasting the paper all over. That time it was done inside Paragon (the side door where the elephants are). After they applied a layer of coating it is displayed permanently in front of the main entrance where #61 Baby Paragon is.

    Make sure you get #50 this time. You won't want to go back for the 4th round. :)
