Sometime, I feel I care way too much or treat something way to serious. And it hurts me. It hurts the relation with my friends.
It sucks ......

Tomorrow UBC will play against UVIC again. Good luck T-birds!
Last night, I had a chance shooting in a professional studio. Phew ...... I survived!
I thought I knew alot about photography. However, within 5 mins of the shooting session, I realized that how shallow I was. I did appreciate this opportunity. David, the owner of the studio, who is a professional photographer shooting intensively in movie industry gave me a nice hands on tutorial on the basic studio lighting setup and teaching me how to pose the model and how to communicate with her.
We shot under 4 different lighting setups. It's so fun!
 |
Joannes and I took this photo together in David's studio
 |
I am going to learn about the studio lighting as much as I can.
On the way home, I played the CD of Gidon kremer playing J.S Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for violin solo. This is Kremer's second recording of the Bach unaccompanied sonatas and partitas for violin. Pity that I don't own his first recording, with Phillips in 1980.
 |
Let it never be said that Gidon kremer's interpretations are in any way samiliar to anyone. The thing that struck me listening to this recording is the forceful angularity of the playing, heartfelt, staccato but never mechanical.
This is truly a fresh.

The editor contacted me last night looking for another photo to use for the next issue. Very happy to see my photo on a commercial magazine.
 |
GO UBC!!!!!!!! GO T-birds!!!!!!!!!!
I got the following shot at the baseketball game last Friday when the little girl playing with her mom during the break.

There are still a lot of stuff to learn and I am far away from the professional. I should push myself even harder in the future. With all my hardwork, one day I will become a good photographer, a professional one!
I have faith!!!
Reading break!!!!! No paper production on Monday!!
I watched the winter olympic games in the early morning, updated april28th, fixed the conversion van and drove it with Trista to Granville Island.

Despite the wind, the weather is so lovely.

How can I stop loving photography? I have way too much passion toward it.
I read an article on Vancouver Sun today. It's about a Vancouver-raised journalist, Finbarr O'Reilly, who won the World Press Photo of the Year.
 |
Another article about him on the NPPA website.
O'Reilly's story seduced me and dragged me into the endless thinking. How could I find out my own direction of photography?
Last night was the Ubyssey production night. After finishing my own stuff, I took some photos in the office of other editors.
Bryan was thinking about his feature article.
 |
Michelle was picking up the left over Chinese food ...
 |
Bryan, Jesse, Megan and Eric worked on the editorial ...

Yes, Max was washing dishes as usual. (Eric Szeto photo)

Reading break is coming. I want to take a short break and go out taking some photos.
By the way, the opening ceremony of the 20th Winter Olympic Game was so awesome.
I wish I could be there taking photo for Canada and China...... One day, I will make it!!!
From "Dance Dance Dance" to "Sputnik Sweetheart" till what I am reading now "South of the border, West of the sun".

It's a strange feeling. And it's weird. It seems like I could always find myself, maybe not 100% but at least part of me, in his book.
Jazz, classical music, cat, books, delicious food, subaru, women, sex and a strange attitude toward life.
The world he created attracts me from the world I am living in. Irresistible ......
