Vis-à-vis

Vague figure

Look.

It's been years, the incompletion prevails.

Though the new ones have been finished.

Abandoned.

They always run. They always fail.

Watching the buildings crumbled.

They are out of the line.

The mumbling sound's tumbled,

all confesses are intertwined.

Vague figure that is.

Heartened

She would gaze upon the future, the upcoming differences.
The future told her to abandon sorrows; to stand, and to hold up.

Yet she was bright under the downfall.
Astonishing.

It reminds me of a fairy tale: one will sacrifice for others.

         •  •  •

"Don't worry, son,"
Those tears were drying endlessly.
"everything will be back."

Alone; solitary

Someday you will be; this day is that day.

Her spell

Featured in Leica Special Jubilee Book

I was thrilled when I read Flickrmail this morning. It said:

So ALL photos from the Flickr group! Yeay, I will be on their book soon. I will definitely share the book with you. I cannot wait until I got this book in my hand!

Oh, for some of you who don't know what it is, Leica Jubilee Book Project was about to call all Leica user's self portrait with his/her camera. So this is my self-portrait that will be printed on their book.

You were a child,

Crawling on your knees toward it.

Making mama so proud,

but your voices too loud.

Nikon F90x

Just got this camera some hours ago. The camera is not as interesting as it looks, actually. It is paired with its kit lens: Nikkor AF 24-120D. All the mechanism is seem okay to me, I could rate it in 90%+ condition. Just a scratch in the centre part of the lens, but I think it's not a big deal. Got it for the fair price though.

Yes, it is full electronic. I haven't got a chance to have an electronic film camera until now. To me it feels like handled a Nikon D90 but it felt more versatile in my hand. It is different and less control from its professional brother F5, but it's okay to me.

Got a thought for Delta 400? I am out now, I will meet Carminia today and have a session with some friends.

Orphanage

This was taken on a quite time ago. Love the kids playing around and talking to each other. Some were more silent than others. But it was lovely to be there. To a time, they reminded me of how I was at their age. Silly.

This roll has taken me up to – according to myself – a masterpiece. A work that I called "Education" was done from this Orphanage roll. What I love about this picture is not about the photography aesthetics. But I am looking this further, as education, one of the most popular word in humankind, take exist in any second of your life. If you are looking yourself now, you will have no idea that you have passed this crucial time. 

Persie and Pumpkin

It was after I helped Carminia, Talenna and Gama on their advertisement project. They made a DIY Product Table in Talenna's house, and guess what.. These two little Teckles, Persie and Pumpkin, were roaming endlessly in the studio. After the team have done their project, it was irresistible to hop them up on the product table. And yes, they are so adorable.

By the way, this was my first roll from Bronica ETR-Si! It is a great camera, with Kodak TMAX 100 loaded inside.
