yes, this may be the geekiest tattoo in the history of tattoos. i know it's not to everyone's taste, but that's the joy of tattoos. they are utterly selfish acts. and this? i completely adore it.

here's everything it represents:

- the word "argus" and the triangle are taken from the imprint on the very first box camera i bought and used for TTV.

- the triangle is a slide viewer, and the orange band is the focusing ring.

- i lovelovelove the argus font. (i'm a total font freak.)

- the orange is, well, orange.

- argus was a mythological beast with 1000 eyes, and was known for seeing everything.

- there's a bird called an argus, related to the peacock, whose feathers resemble, yes, eyes. and, see, me and birds, we go way back.

- the design of the concentric circles is taken directly from the shutter release button on the vintage 35mm argus A2F i've been using.

see, i've already told several people about this, and what all the pieces mean, but there's one secret i've kept til now.

there are four concentric circles.

one for each rustafarian.

me, smack, pappas, and bowman.

yep.

Setiap benda perlu kan panduan

Tanpa panduan dan tunjuk ajar

Rasanya tak tau wujud sebagai apa

Monyet di hutan juga belajar

Dan di tunjuk ajar

Inikan pula manusia

Segala bagai panduan dan ilmu

Merata di taburkan

Tak tahu apa nak jadi kalau kau sendiri

Menidakkan garis

Hala tuju yang betul

Pulangkan balik jasad kau

Kalau kau sendiri tak tahu nak bela

Cakap diri sendiri

Always in a rush

Never stay on the phone long enough

Why?

Am I so self important

Said I'd see you soon

That was, oh, maybe a year ago

Didn't know time was of the essence

So many questions

I'm talking to myself

Taken using the Olympus OM-D EM5 along the Mornington Peninsula. Slight editing using iPhoto for MacBook Pro. Macro adaption used on the 15-45mm lens.

Perjalanan kau masih jauh

Namun destinasi sudah di depan mata

Cuba gapai

Tapi tidak mampu

Kenapa?

Kerana hati belum tentu mahu ke sana

Ragu ragu mendera hati kau

#Adventuretime #Abarat #kimiography #Photographygeek #Canon #boat #ship #

As we descent

Jika kau perasan

Tiada apa yg kekal

Hati juga mati

Begitu juga dunia

Beringat

Waktu kau akan datang jua tidak kira masa dan bumi mana kau berpijak

Was playing out in the garden with my Olympus OM-D new 45MM lens when i saw this little guy in the bushes. Would have loved to have my macro lens on at the time but i am happy with the brightness of colouring and the depth of field in this image. I get to play with portraits today and am looking forward to the outcome! Will post successful shots.

Mata tertutup

Bukan bermaksud kau tidur

Juga tidak bermakna kau tak boleh bermimpi

Hak kau untuk memilih

Tetapi apa yang boleh kau buat

Jika yang datang itu bukan yang kau mahu

Jika yang datang itu bukan yang kau impi

Terjaga

Tapi masih tidak jumpa jalan pulang

Kau masih bermimpi

Kerana memang tiada jalan keluar

Untuk kau yang masih tidak faham

Erti semua sinopsis

Erti semua petunjuk

Lari sekuat hati

Sebab tempat kau bukan di sini

Selalu selalu lah tengok langit waktu malam

Kadang kadang boleh nampak

Sesuatu yang di sebut rezeki

Sebab rezeki memang turun dari langit

Lihat segala ciptaan

Yang kau tak boleh nampak

Bila matahari keluar bermain

Banyak rahsia yang wujud didalam gelap

Senang untuk di simpan bila tak ada cahaya yang menyuluh

Rajin rajin lah kau melihat

Sementara masih terhidang

Hidup kau pun bukan selama lamanya

#Adventuretime #Abarat #kimiography #Photographygeek #canon #unisersalstudio #singapore #igers #igersselangor #igersmalaya #instagram #instagramkorea #instagrammalaysia #instansvisio #inspiredphoto #vscomalaysia #vscocam #vscokorea #vscorussia #vscoselangor #garden #vscocom #gambar_koyak #picoftheday #groupphoto #amanda #qaisarawafaamanda #milkyway #landscape

Suka tengok bulan penuh

Boleh terpaku

Kalau kau tengok lama lama sampai 7 minit

Rasa berdiri bulu roma

Kalau tegak di depan mata

Bulan memang cantik

Walaupun sebenarnya pecah

Tapi yang itu lah pelengkap

Yang setiap malam memukau

Tapi kau jarang nak tengok

Bila dia keluar dari malam muda

Sampai malam tua

Ini pun nama rezeki

Bila kau dapat tengok

Semuanya

Mengantuk

replaced the stock neck strap, to get something longer and softer, and extendable if I want.

Kau tahu kehidupan

Tapi kau tak pernah hidup

Bukan sekali

Bukan sekarang

Bukan dahulu

Bukan masa depan

Masih mencari maksud

Jalan yang kau pilih

Persetankan sekeliling

Sebab kau rasa mereka tidak faham

Apa yang kau rasa

Tapi mereka tidak peduli

Dan langsung tidak pernah peduli

Mereka juga ada jalan pilihan

Yang kau sendiri langsung tidak faham

Sebab ianya jauh melangkaui

Tahap pemikiran benak yang kau bela sekian lama

Ingat

Kau berpijak dengan kebenaran tuan tanah

Mana boleh kau bernafas kalau tidak ada satu.

May I please have your hand, my lady?

For what you asked?

It is for my own sense companion along the way to dreaming.

Dreams

What dream you asked?

Well, you ask a lot of question perhaps.

Now may I?

Don't you worry, my lady

I am a believer.

You are in a good hands.

Pijak bumi

Langit menjadi cita cita

Mata ke langit

Bumi hilang langsung dari hati

Kebal?

Kau rasa tidak perlu

Kau rasa tidak peduli

Kau rasa tidak penting

Kau lupa

Kaki yang berdiri itu juga bukan kau punya
