Don’t worry. Be happy.
Life is hardship but always we can find joy and pleasures from simple things and simple words.
Have a great Wednesday!
My snapshot of smiley face at Yaletown last week.
I love still life and I find it interesting and challenging.

Wish you a great Sunday!
This is repost of tomatoes still life in my kitchen.
The following is the original story going with the previous post.
*******************************************************************************
Isn't internet amazing?
In September 2013, there are two millions views on my Flickr stream. In July 2014, there are 6.4 millions.
Numbers does not give real meaning to anything. However it is still interesting to see these changes.
This is the repost of my picture taken in September 2013.
Have a great Friday!
Yesterday (30 September 2013) my Flickr stream hit the mark of two millions views. Right at this moment when I write this description, the views count comes to 2,008,051.
It took me 39 months (more than 3 years) to reach the one million view count in October 2012. It only takes me 11 months more to hit the two millions view count. But I am not excited.
On my third anniversary on Flickr (July 2012), my daily view count was about 1,200 and a picture had about 600-900 views in the first 24 hours. Now my daily view count is 12,000 to 15,000 views and a picture will have 1,200-1,500 views in 24 hours.
The increase is not coming from my improved photography but more a result of change on Flickr. I have noticed the trend on Flickr lately.
A picture on Explore nowadays can warrant 18,000 - 22,000 views in the first 24 hours. Last year the same Explored picture has only 3,000 - 5,000 views in 24 hours. Compared to a non-Explore picture like mine, the difference or gap is 10.800 views (or 90%) while the gap in the past was only 2,400 (or 80%).
The expansion in viewing platform to mobile devices has increased the view count but also widens the gap between the popular (or selected) few and the majority. Also the comments has dropped and this reflects less interaction in the community.
This is like a developed economy has a bigger gap between the poor and the rich when the economy grows quickly.
Internet is not a democratic place and the resources are more and more commanded by a few elites. These selected few again command more resources outside the internet e.g. getting published, showing in galleries and other platforms.
We are not small potatoes. I am too old to join a revolution but we can get ready some tomatoes for protest. :o)
We have had wind storm in the weekend. It was pouring in the last few days and my still life season comes again. This is the tomatoes in my kitchen. Oh I forgot to mention I have eaten them yesterday! :o)
Happy Tuesday!

{SimpleThings} - is the project about beauty of simplicity, beauty of nature, beauty of usual things around us. About things that we do not pay enough attention, but they are worth it.
And through this photos I want to remind all, that we live in a beautiful world.
I hope you feel the mood) Tanks.

Simple things can turn into something amazing after taking a closer look, finding the right position towards the sun and shooting in f. 2.8.
Close-up of an old utility pole with rusty metal loops sticking out in every direction. Shot in black and white on a clear day, the shapes and shadows stand out sharply against the sky. It’s one of those small, overlooked things in the city that ends up looking kind of sculptural when you really focus on it.
sei delicata come petali di margherita,
quasi impercettibili al tatto,
ma al tempo stesso riesci a dar nuovo volto al prato.
I made a fatpack of an old fav ...

As long as the sun shall rise goes the old lovers vow. But we are children of a scientific age & have no time for poetry. Still, I offer a quiet prayer of thanks for the sunlight each time I see your face.
