My favorite shoes. I have worn them twice, they are dove gray and look very tuxedo-ish to me. They are shiny and peep toe. They make me want to drink my tea with my pinky finger in the air. I never wear them. I am afraid I will ruin them. G.G. was very interested in them as well.

After waiting eight days, my new 50mm lens arrived Saturday morning (at 8:37 a.m., nonetheless). I'm looking forward to using it properly sometime this week! :)
Explored :)
Sunday was worth getting up for. It made a change to get some nice colour & a bit of light.

曾經
有人這樣問, 為什麼拍照的人喜歡拍一些舊舊, 亂亂, 人家不要的東西?
為什麼?
其實這些東西, 雖然老舊, 被人丟棄了.. 但它也有"曾經"
那"曾經"裡有人, 有事, 有生命...
那是無法抺去的記憶,
裡頭有美.
看這些事物在歲月中褪色的軌跡, 總不免引人惆悵....
但生命不會只有單一面向
我們總會在這當中與另一個新生命不期而遇..
裡頭有希望.
喜歡新舊交會的這一刻..
Once,
somebody asked, why photographer loves to take the picture of old, random, abandoned things?
Why?
Those things may aged, damaged, unused, however, they also owned "ever been".
There are people, affair, and life in the "ever been"
A memory couldn't be erase.
There' s a beauty inside.
It's usually depressed people while seeing these things fade in the time.
However, life won't be a one way.
We always encounter another new life at that time.
And there is hope inside.
Love the moment, old v.s. new.
Pulling some pictures from the archives. I have been so consumed with unpacking (all my stuff came out of storage) that I have not gotten out even once this summer to take pictures. Or even for a hike! So, I feel compelled to go through the archives and find things that I should have posted back at that time, but did not.
On the way home from work, I pass a house that has the most beautiful garden in front. She uses every inch of her yard space (including the grassy space between the sidewalk and the road) to plant flowers. At the time I took this picture, most of her flowers had died off or been pulled up because it was closing in on autumn. But this purple birdhouse called out to me. In fact, this is the thing I saw from the road that prompted me to pull over after school and take some pictures.

The maternity ward in Hospital 126.
Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: ?????? ????, mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

Some new faces, some old, made new friends and generally we were in our elements.
Rhetorical question but did we have a blast? You bet!
Amazing group, top guys. Till the next time!

Time To Find A Cozy Spot Til Spring Comes Calling! By Taryn Campbell
Realized a few minutes ago, that one of my pics was in Explore and on frontpage too....
This happened the first time and actually not I'm not sure, if I shall be proud of this or if the whole explore thing is a funny marketing tool from Flickr...
But however, many thanks to all regularly contacts, guests and visitors of my stream... much appreciated and your comments and/or favs are the real honor to me!!!

اليَأسُ ليسَ لي بهُ عِلاقةٌ .. وَ لنْ تَكون بيننا أيُ عِلاقةٌ تُذكر !!
نَحنُ أعَداءْ وَ إن غَلفني الحُزن يَوماً مَا .. فَماهيَّ الا سَاعاتْ حَتى أذُكرُ نَفسي بِمنْ خَلقني ..
قَادرٌ على مَنحي كُل مَا أُريد
