Something about this photo, displayed in the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, really messes with me.

I don't know his name, but he was involved in the Lomography training.

He needs to wear them for computer work, thats why he'd rather be out on the street workng dogs.

From the back, these two arches together are called The Spectacles.

Actually, I'm just trying out a friend's spectacles.

MEND: LOVE, LIFE & LOSS

The work in Mend: Love, Life & Loss can sneak up on you. The materials of fabric and thread seem so innocuous. We associate them with the domestic and the feminine, and relegate them to the lesser realms of hobby and craft. At first these works do not seem to demand our abstract conceptual attention as so many works of contemporary art do. Instead of facing installations and conceptual puzzles, we are presented with hand-wrought objects that revel in their physicality. Every stitch and every manipulation of materials is time-consuming, repetitive, and tedious for the maker. The masochistic dedication to processing materials through time evokes the emotional patina of love, life and loss.

Coming home from French class last night, I passed by the 'Quartier des spectacles'. The fountains on the plaza look like candles at night.

Lovely.

They were also playing some audioslave, which was kind of funny, I had a small flashback ;)

Spectacles - Les Calédos

Finally not an HDR! Single exposures work very well for portraits - here with the added twist of a diagonal in depth.

Last minute shot. No time for photography today. At least there was this advertising column...

Used to wear a pair of spectacles - since Standard 1 (1984) but since 2004 - until now Alhamdulillah my sights improved significantly ;)

The tenth bridge along Nakashima River. The oldest stone arch bridge in Japan, it was built in 1634 by Mozi, a Chinese Zen Master from Kokufuji Temple.

Mozi was from Jianchang County, Jianchang Prefecture in the Jiangxi Province of China (present day Nancheng County, Fuzhou City) and came to Japan

in 1632. He was an expert in stone bridge-making techniques. The bridge was damaged in a flood in 1647. It was repaired by Komu Hirato the following

year. For hundreds of years, the locals of Nagasaki have affectionately referred to the bridge as "Meganebashi" (Spectacles Bridge) due to the fact that

the reflection of the bridge on the surface of the river gives it the appearance of a pair of glasses. In 1882, it was officially named Meganebashi.
