This picture was taken inside a air-raid shelter in northern Taiwan. It was very hot and humid that day and Ping did a great job on posing. :)
no rules, no limitations, no boundaries it's like an art
Purification:
Before praying to the Shinto deity, worshippers and casual visitors are asked to purify themselves (Harai ) of impurity. The act of cleansing is called Misogi, and the actual washing of hands and mouth with water is called Temizu. An associated term is Imi, meaning "abstention from defilement." Most large shrines have a stone wash basin where worshippers and casual visitors rinse their mouth and hands before approaching the deity (most people no longer rinse their mouth). Sometimes a fire is burning in the shrine compound, and people will waft the smoke over their heads (to catch the blessings of the deity or to burn away their impurities). Some Japanese still practice the old tradition of sprinkling water at the gate of their home in the morning and evening to purify the family environs.

The small minority village of Ping'an (Ping Xian) in Guangxi Province in mainland China overlooks the impressive Longji rice terraces on the surrounding mountainsides. The village, which dates back over 500 years, is constructed of traditional wooden buildings. There are 8 unique minority peoples living in different small villages in this area around the city of Guilin. Each minority dress in their own colourful traditional costumes. I will have some examples in the coming days. PingAn is inhabited by the Zhuang people.

I must have this fascination with liquids and splashes as I seem to keep gravitating to shooting this sort of thing. So this is just a ping pong ball dropping onto some paint. Next time I will use something heavier to create something more splashier!!
Ping is one of my favorite models. We have worked together for many times. She doesn't do much of the fancy poses nor does she depend on her body to do the work. Ping is a very smart and elegant girl that has the inner beauty. The more you look at her, the more you will feel about her. It's just hard to put those feelings into words.
This picture was taken in an extremely hot, abandoned, half-down building. The basement of the building has been flooded 100% and it was growing mushrooms down there. The condition of the environment was so bad that we could only stay there for a short time.
This Ping Pong Allium stayed still just long enough to capture it in the winds in Queen Elizabeth Park.
