Choice.

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. [...]

Thoughts.

“Everybody is clamouring for attention because nobody can completely accept the truth that individually, we’re so small, so insignificant in the vastness of our giant cosmos.
One day, when I pass on, I want to die not guessing whether I’m going to heaven, but whether I’ve lived a full life.
Everytime we focus our efforts on one [...]

My only duty was to describe reality as it had come to me – and to give the mundane its beautiful due.

Breathe.

Is life going too fast for you?
Take a step back, catch your breath, rethink your perceptions.
Burying myself in research this weekend.

Improve.

Too stiff with my camera. Camera has to be one with me.
What’s this fear I feel. It’s holding me back, conforming me to the drawn lines.

Like a ballerina, the world swirling around me.
Pause.
And I go into bullet-time mode.

From Russia with love.

Life through lens.

Photography. I gauge my growth as a person through my mastering of the craft.
Henri Catier-Bresson once famously said,
To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It’s a way of life.
The photos I make represent the person I am. My inner soul exposed through the lens of the camera, through [...]

On leave.

The melodious sounds of the water fountain behind me…
Having my dinner at Takashimaya’s Delifrance now. Just sent in my antique Nikon FG camera in for servicing. And fixed my Kenneth Cole timepiece.
I love the freedom of solitude. Being on my own rocks.

Seven Pounds

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

In seven days, God created the world. And in seven seconds, I shattered mine.


Just watched Seven Pounds. Incredible drama. I was moved to tears, and that kinda never happens to me during movies.
I don’t understand how Rotten Tomatoes can give it a 28%. It’s on par, if not better than The Pursuit of Happyness (which [...]
