just during last year’s chinese new year’s celebration, i was in the san francisco china town with my best friend. we found ourselves celebrating, enjoying and witnessing a massive congregation of different nationalities and cultures where a majority where from an asian background, but others were just busy learning, enjoying, experiencing and capturing the asian warmth halfway around the globe.

a perfection of the earth’s wrinkles with a few splashes of grees and yellow, some soil here and there with heaps of tiny precious rocks and fine black volcanic sand, a few streams of pure and refreshing water, some incredibly friendly people, some mist and just throw in a pair of rainbows while you’re there too… and voila, we have iceland.

i’m not sure, but it didn’t seem as the common sunflower we tend to see. the inner florets appear to be darker and larger in a messy way. they might be dry, but since this took place in one of the largest flower markets in china, i thought it could have been a different kind too. the petals are lighter and the “golden” interconnecting spriral is not that obvious. by different kind and taking in account that the flower comes from a massive wholesale market, i just meant to think of the bio-genetical engineering aspects of it. food for thought.
happy birthday brittney!

ah, savannah at night. personally, one of the most relaxing places i could be right now. to some, it can be a little creepy to go to forsyth, or any park in general to just sit back and enjoy the night. as for myself, i listen to the night, breathe the grass, and feel the moisty southern airs from the atlantic breeze. walk around the fountain, lay down in the grass and submerge into the quick clouds reveling with the stars.

there was an earthquake just a few kilometers from home. even though i wasn’t really there i was told that this 4.8 magnitude quake felt like a 6 or 7, due to its proximity. as earthquakes in chile continue, it becomes more difficult to understand and accept this phenomenon. all there is to do is to remain calm, if one is in the position to collaborate and help in anyway, give an extra hand.

this shot was taken inside the bahrain national museum in manama. this sample of islamic calligraphy (commonly known as arabic) was handwritten from an old script, but i’m not even sure what it means or where it’s from. however, i do enjoy the artistic qualities of its elegant and simplistic strokes. these writings are oftern considered as the most significant example of islamic art as the arabic script was the means to espress the qu’ran.

a journey ends and another continues. i’m back in beijing and am here to sail through these final months of ups and downs. and just i always mention, life goes on. no matter what happens, good or bad, there is no end: our multiple stories continue and others tasks will have to be taken care of. this post marks 10 months.

again with perspectives, there are so many different perceptions towards “the little things” we see or not. anyway, this little shed is located in fivepoints in brooklyn. for those who know, the area is covered with graffiti and designs from floors to ceilings. and as some have managed to understand that there are six surfaces in an interior of a “cubical” room, there are also five or six as in this case on the exterior. here we see that some do an extra effort to understand that someone can look down on these objects that we look up at.

this pinnate frond shape blends in the bushes of the marlborough sounds within other small plants, trees and ferns. upon looking further into the plant, its shape and name: this half symmetrical and divided leaf carries the typological name of pinnate from its common axis in the structure where these are also mentioned as feather leafs.
