Truly, the defining quality of mankind is creation. We are creators. Nothing will stop human beings from manifesting their imaginations into reality. The sorcerers in charge of planet earth use this creative power to their own ends. Escape their spell and dream a new dream.

Shot at Chaukhandi Tombes, during my visit to Karachi on 21/May, 2008.
Chaukhandi (Urdu: چوکنڈی) tombs, are attributed to Jokhio and Baloch tribes and were build between 15th and 18th centuries. It is situated 29 km east of Karachi on N-5 National Highway near Landhi Town.The Chaukhandi tombs are remarkable for the elaborate and exquisite carving; the style of architecture is not only typical to the region of Sindh but unique in the sense that it is no where else to be found in the Islamic world.

I'm so enjoying having my new illuminated Logitech keyboard. I'm so happy I have it. I thought I'd try a perspective shot here in b&w.
I was laying on my back on our ottoman and I noticed how things looked just looking up at the ceiling and then that got me to thinking, which in turn got me to take these pics.
Pretty interesting I think, mainly because it reminds me to truly look at things differently we have to change our focus, our perspective.

know more about the world than I knew yesterday.
And lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."

Time to ponder, find a location on arrival take one image, review your surroundings for five-ten minutes and take another www.todaysposting.com/TPAssignment.php?TP=390
It is always fun to have a peek into the world by different perspective. Though it seems not general or real it gives a unique feelings for the thing. That's why we should learn sometime to change the way we think or change the way we look at something. This can deliver different value or meaning of it. Picture taken by my brother.

Day 229
I had a problem that I was trying to trouble shoot. Then randomly, I remembered something from one of my marketing classes. When you get stumped try going at it from another perspective. Like how would rock star over come this situation. I ended up fixing the problem, just needed to take a step back.

It matters where you stand, for this photo was taken in Downtown Los Angeles Union Station using my medium format camera, Yashica Mat 124 using some Kodak Portra with an iso of 400. I took this photo with the intention of letting my viewers decipher the angle of this photo and because I liked the symmetry of this glass sculpture.
This is a nice example of how the 300 mm focal length compresses perspective. There are a couple of kilometers between where I stand and the most distant buildings.

I quite enjoyed the perspective and depth of field. Buildings and houses almost look like miniatures

week 16
It's only Wednesday and already my week embodies this word. True understanding of the relative importance of things. If I had to give my week a title it would be "Perspective."
I personally had a huge change of heart on Sunday. It's amazing what a slight shift in perspective can give you, and how freeing it can be.
And today this little guy, my three year old, went missing for about twenty minutes. The cops were called, neighbors were helping me search and I have never felt more scared in my life. The absolute worst case scenarios were flashing in my head. That twenty minutes felt like hours. It is not like him to take off and that added to my panicked state. My neighbor three houses down called me back in the midst of me growing more and more hysterical. While on the phone with her, she glanced out her window and spotted the sleeve of his gray shirt hiding under her picnic table. He had left his bike at the top of our driveway and took off to her house. He somehow got into her backyard and was hiding under her picnic table. I have never felt more helpless and scared. It took a good thirty minutes for my heart to beat normal again.
Life is so short, so fragile and can change so quickly. Cherish every precious moment you are given.
For January Scavenge Challenge # 23 By request, costume yourself, a friend or a pet for a fun photo.
Let's get this straight - he costumed himself !
If you look real close at the bottom of the shot, you'll see trees. This is the only shot of Kaskawulsh Glacier and St Elias Mountains where you get a sense of how vast this landscape is cause of how tiny those trees are!
Check out my set for the rest of photos from that brief but awesome trip! Or see them in in a video montage I made.
This drawing was initially an attempt at recreating a photograph of a modern styled home I saw in a book. I used the core structure of a few lines drawn in pencil, and overlayed the freehand patterns that were then colored with marker. The coloration is meant to highlight the 4 planes from the original photograph: the house entry; the house's sidewall; the ground; the sky.
For my first perspective photo, I took a picture of my hand and another person's hand touching with the sun behind our fingers. This made it light up in a nice spot. It is forced perspective because it makes the sun look smaller than it actually is when compared to our fingers. This photo is interesting to me because it is an interesting and new idea to me. I like how the sun lights up the meeting point of our fingers and I like how the sun looks small compared to our hands. I am trying to convey a bright and happy feeling in this photo. The meeting of the two hands and the bright sun give the photo a cheerful tone. To take this photo, I used an SLR. I had an aperture of f/4.0 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 of a second and an ISO of 100. I did this because the sun was really bright and I did not want the whole background to be white.
I love this look of aerial perspective, seen often in the Lake district , having so many fells all so close together, yet disappearing into haze

Pottery tomb figure of a singer (Han Dynasty), unearthed near Guanghan, Sichuan, in November 1994.
Last week’s photo shoots were of Tianfu Square (at night) and a day trip to Huanglongxi Ancient Town southeast of Chengdu. This week, I changed it up a little and went to a museum that I’d been wanting to visit for quite some time (but, honestly, was just too lazy to go to until now).
Sanxingdui (literally, “three star mound(s)”) is an archaeological site/museum. To give you perspective, I’ll make a few comparisons. The easiest (and less impressive) comparison is to the Jinsha Archaeological Site within the Chengdu city limits.
Jinsha is a very nice site in its own right, and has a lot of source material that dates from around 2,500-3,000 years ago. The Jinsha site was more recently discovered (2001) than the Sanxingdui site (early 20th century; excavations began in earnest in 1986). At Jinsha, things just feel like “leftovers.” I mean to say…there doesn’t feel like anything that the world at large necessarily needed to know about – though some of the art there, the skeletal remains, etc. are incredibly interesting if you have an interest in human history. However, I digress. The main point I should make regarding Jinsha and Sanxingdui is that it’s believed that the sites are from a related culture, though the timing is off by about 500 years (if I remember right from the signage at Jinsha).
The other comparison I will make is to China’s most famous archaeological site: the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. Those are more important from a nationalistic point of view, I suppose, in that they were made (or ordered to be made, to be more precise) by China’s first emperor circa 200 BC. Aside from that, the terracotta army is quite impressive.
I feel Sanxingdui is much more important to human history, though, and I say this for a few reasons. First, it predates China (as a “nation-state”) by about 1,000 years. Almost everything that has been unearthed here is from roughly the 12th or 13th century BC (per carbon dating). Finding this site was (rightfully so) a huge shock in the archaeological record. It wasn’t known that people were in this area, if I’m not mistaken, and that they were as advanced as they were.
As you can see from the collection, this is a people who were highly advanced, had a monetary system (based on the knowledge of cowry shells, etc.), religious practices, and a high technical skill with bronze and other alloys. The masks from Sanxingdui are the most famous part of this collection and are still in such good shape 3,000 years later that they could honestly be placed in any museum in the world. They’re truly quite impressive.
Another reason I say so little is known of the people who lived here is that, while this museum is of exceptional quality – architecturally, in presentation, in every aspect – there is so little background information provided about the people’s origins. We can see how they lived, what was important to them, and other things, but the one thing that is missing is…where they came from. I continually found myself saying, “Wow,” over and again throughout the afternoon here.
Getting here is relatively easy now. A bus goes from Xinnanmen long distance bus station in downtown Chengdu (leaving at 9:30 a.m.) and takes you directly to the Sanxingdui parking lot, about 50 km (at most) towards the northeast on the Mianyang freeway. The closest town is Guanghan, and the cost of the ticket, for a round trip ride, is 50 RMB. (The bus returns at 2:40 p.m., which gives about 4 hours to see the entire museum and grounds.)
Upon getting to the visitor center, you have to pass through security scanners (in each of the three other buildings, too, for that matter). After paying the very reasonable 80 RMB admission, you pass through security yet again and are finally in the museum/site proper. I don’t recall much information available at the visitor center, but I may have just missed it. In retrospect, it would be very nice to have some informational videos – even if they were just to say much isn’t known about the history of the people. It could have given suppositions of life in video format, or even focused on the discovery of the site. (Again, maybe they’re already there, and I missed them…but, I don’t think so.)
Upon leaving the video center, the first of the three buildings you arrive at is the Comprehensive Gallery. This gallery is wonderful in that it has actually been built into one of the three mounds. (I’m not 100% sure that this is one of the three original mounds; perhaps it’s a replica of the mound. Either way, it was a good use of the land.) The comprehensive gallery consists of five areas that, for the most part, focus on earthenware and stone ware artefacts that were unearthed in the pits. The relics are well-presented, well-labeled, and well-maintained. Besides earthenware and stoneware, there are also plenty of artefacts made of jade, some of bronze, some of gold foil, and so on. The comprehensive gallery ends with a display of bronze money trees that were (are?) important in Chinese culture.
After finishing in the Comprehensive Gallery, my second stop was to go to the Cultural Relics & Restoration Gallery. This is the smallest of the three, and most comprehensive (in terms of presenting artwork from all of Chinese history) of the three galleries. There are plenty of pieces here from the Song, Tang, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. I went through here in a bit of a hurry, so am not certain whether or not the relics in this hall are local to the Chengdu plain or not. I think they are.
Hurrying along, I found my way outside and passed the Echo Altar (sacrificial stage) and quickly wandered around the Bronze Hall before going in. I was enjoying the landscape at the site as it’s spring and magnolias are in bloom all around the grounds, along with rapeseed (a little), and a lot of landscaped flowers along the way.
The Bronze Hall is the highlight of the Sanxingdui site. It almost exclusively contains nothing but masks. You would think it gets a little redundant after a while, as most of the masks are similar (exaggerated pupils, though two or three have protruding pupils), mostly of bronze, and all with the sparse signage that they were excavated from either pit #1, #2, or #3 in the 13th-12th century BC. However, like the Comprehensive Gallery, the Bronze Hall is an architecturally pleasing building that presents the masks in six different sections, also ending with a large (3.5 times the original size) replica of a bronze money tree.
Feeling completely satisfied with Sanxingdui, and fresh out of galleries to visit, I left the Bronze Hall and walked the grounds towards the main exit. There is a restaurant and shopping area on the way out (though I didn’t stop to eat or buy anything). I did take a very quick glance into the gift shop, but wasn’t really excited by anything I saw offhand.
After a little more photographing, I made it back to the bus with about 45 minutes to spare. All in all, it was a perfect day out of town at a museum, and I was also thrilled that there weren’t too many people out here. I couldn’t have asked for much more from this experience.
I finished the day off at Tai Koo Li, eating Thai food at Lian (in a very early preparation for an upcoming holiday in May). Before the May holiday, though, the goal of getting out to shoot every weekend continues. Monday (today), March 14th was spent in Pingle, another ancient town, which was completely underwhelming…especially after last week’s shoot at Huanglongxi and yesterday’s shoot at Sanxingdui. Fortunately, there is plenty more to photograph between now and May.
