You promised me you'd never leave me
You lied
Initially, for this photo I didn't have the heart on my hand. I had my tripod all set up and the camera's self-timer set and would run behind the shower to get the shot. But after reviewing the pictures, I thought it looked too plain. So, I drew a heart on my hand and did it all over again. =] This is what turned out.
I tried to document this event from different point of view: the people, the media and the enforcement officers
=====
3 March 2012 -- Thousands of people marched to the offices of the Hong Kong city government on Saturday, demanding that outgoing chief executive Donald Tsang stand trial following allegations of ethics violations in his dealings with businessmen.
Organizers said more than 5,000 participated in Saturday's march, but local police estimated about 2,800 turned up at Victoria Park, the site of Hong Kong's annual Tiananmen vigil and where the protest started.
Hong Kong returned to Chinese rule in 1997 amid promises of a high degree of autonomy. But China's leaders have kept grip over political and administrative elite from behind the scenes.
The city's seven million people can elect some legislative and district council members, but have no direct vote for their top leader, who is selected by a 1,200-strong election committee comprised largely of business leaders and Beijing loyalists.

A composition practice according to Stephen Shore's work. I took this pic at a resting station during sunset, the sunset yellowed everything which softened the contrast as well. I was attracted by the cloud and pole, the pole just stood there and the cloud seemed have a lot of story to tell. The scene was beyond my words.

A Letter from Land's End
A poem by Kevin Jared Hosein
Here I am at the edge of time,
Sitting on the brink,
Looking forth at a sunset
That comes and goes in a blink.
And there's a moon up there
For everyone I know
And a plant that bears butterflies
Row by row.
Here I am at the edge of real,
Standing on the plain
Where masked children dash in circles
Along its emerald mane.
And there's a rainstorm
Going on in the desert of snow
And everyone in the bright moonlight
Watches the thunder glow.
Here I am at the post office,
A letter to send,
An invitation for you to come
Join me in Land's End.
The letter reads,
"Close your eyes, count to three,
Then remember everything I always said you were to me."

The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza. Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898, and it became South Africa's first national park in 1926. To the west and south of the Kruger National Park are the two South African provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, a peace park that links Kruger National Park with the Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. The park is part of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere an area designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as an International Man and Biosphere Reserve (the "Biosphere").

June is not a trustworthy month hereabouts. But I'm usually willing to go along with it when it starts showing off. Today I saw my first lupins of the season showing colour.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The snow is melting and the spring flowers are still growing. Being under the snow for a little while just made them look happy!
These are the old-fashioned hyacinths I posted pictures of earlier. They have grown considerably!
Week 27/52 — Outtake #2
Alright. I'm setting this up for posting for the fifth time now. I cowered every time, before this, but now I'm going through with it. Yes. I am. Come on, I have much more suggestive shots before this one, right? Right. But still, none of them felt this... intimate. I don't know. I like the light, though.
My weekly shot will probably be winged tomorrow, since I'm out of plausible ideas. I'm so screwed. Gosh. I'm also nervous. Can you tell? Okay. I'm shutting up now.

Normally I don't take my camera to a wedding so that I can fully concentrate on the food :$ This was my 'lengta-kaal er' friend Ripa's wedding. The groom bought her this $10,000 diamond ring as an engagement gift. So I couldn't help but wonder how a tiny little piece of stone like this can cost so much. Now, if this becomes a tradition in Bengali weddings... I ain't getting married :p
