I recently found out that my camera has a monochrome setting and I have been going mono-happy. I took my new found affinity for a whirl at the Saratoga Hakone Gardens with the intent to see if photos look as cool in black and white as they do in color. Yup, they do. =)
Life is style
Light is style
Love is style
And after the holidays, everything is in sale...
Tout doit partir... avec style.

One by one we cross the stairs of our life. Actually what waits up there for us?
Deep satisfaction in own life?
or just an old man filled with regret?
You better think it over, buddy!

As a teen, I remember cruising around a lot. Meet up with friends in a parking lot to hang out and bs. Now, my meet ups usually include someones porch, a park, or a bar around town. Living where they do, and most not having access to cars, Polynesians have different places to meet up and mode of transportation.
Nearly every night at sunset, we saw guys on outrigger kayaks converge in the bays between the islands. Lots of laughs, the occasional "drag race", and I'm sure a little trash talk about each others ride.
Fun to see what social life entails in other parts of the world. I know I would trade that T-Bell parking lot in Minnesota for this view any day.

Your life is an island separated from all other islands and continents. Regardless of how many boats you send to other shores or how many ships arrive upon your shores, you yourself are an island separated by its own pains, secluded in its happiness
I was feeling a little down today so I felt like my dolls were the only way to kind of express how I feel.
Blake is my prized possession my grail, my favorite thing the most important thing to me. I feel like I ripped out a piece of my heart and soul and gave it to him. From the moment I first took him out the box till now. When he was blank I had a very hard time trying to find life out of him and developing his personality. So bonding was difficult at first.
Now I am having that same problem with Adele Chase and Scotch. Without faceups they look so Dead to me. They don't feel as alive as Blake does. Even if I bought them wigs eyes and clothes. They are still lacking that heart and soul Blake posses. And yes I can pose them to look like they are alive but im just Bsing around. I actually thought about selling my whole gang and just keeping Blake. It would be so much easier just to care for him. But I know he wouldn't like that. And I know that I would regret it. So for now I will put all my dolls away and wait till I can ship them out in August hopefully. Maybe I can spend more time bonding with Blake......
I wont bore you with the whole load of wedding spam but this one I had taken of me and my fantastic dad who actually did cover up for me at the wedding whilst I sneaked off to do those photos.
I love him so much and he has helped me to keep going despite everything this year by helping support me in this hobby and believing in me when so many others had already given up.

The streets of Shibuya are always busy with people heading in many directions. Cars wizzing by, trains overhead and the famous scramble crossing area in front of Tsutaya and Starbucks.
Occasionally in the blur of everything else moving around, you just need time to stand and grab your thoughts for the day.
This girl stood out to me on the streets of Shibuya as an example of the calm amongst the bustle of the city.
This is the adapted image I took where I dropped some color before uploading it to make the girl stand out even more. The link to the original is here. www.flickr.com/photos/shibuya246/4101855251/
Which image do you like best? the original or the adaptation?

It is the impermanence of the action that makes
it special, and therefore a large part of the value
accorded to an image lies in its ephemeral nature.
It's facing out.
It's right there.
I wanna catch it.
I wanna be with it.
may be it's not that complicated,
but I got to move a bit faster.
Just remember wat anna sui said:
you got to react in the right time.
Riding my bike and being out in the world helped me realize that the end of something is really just the beginning of something. Everything moves in circles. You will survive the future, because the future is the same as the past, and you already survived the past, assuming your usage of "you" is vague enough.
Non vergognarsi della propria malinconia
è un compito penoso anzi uno strazio.
L'amore trasparente non so cosa sia
...
Nemmeno un gesto nemmeno lasciamo andare
meglio di chi improvvisa a malincuore
meglio di chi improvvisa senza amare.
...
Sarà la vita che monta e poi riscende
tutto questo splendore trasparente
...
se abbiamo assolto tutti i sentimenti
dimenticato tutti i fuochi spenti.
...
sono pazzo del mondo questo è odio e amore
anche per te.
...
sarà anche il gioco della vita ma che dolore
...
