July - Life July 31st, 2009 | 11:40
Found and bought first edition of Paolo Roversi's "Studio" and "Libretto". It's so far the most expensive books I bought but it worth every single cent. Then the movie "Coco before Chanel" brought me to a deeper thinking, about love, devotion and surviving. I never thought fashion could represent history and personality in such a conherent way. July was full of surprises. Good or bad, they are equally real. Life is way too real, way too cruel. Lime Grove July 30th, 2009 | 11:40
Everything great comes from a single step. I've been working 8 hours per day in the studio, greedily absorbing knowledges as much as I can. More I work, more I found out I was reproduce images in my mind, images based on her. I am SICk. Fairground July 28th, 2009 | 22:05 One thing I found out today was that the new cute Burberry girl is actually Emma Waston, Hermione in Harry Potter. I do like her. For the past two days, I felt extremely lonely. London College of Fashion II July 27th, 2009 | 23:16
I am back at London, taking higher level of fashion photography course. When I thought back about my life in the past few years. I feel satisfied. For whatever I've done in the past, I did it for only one reason - love. I am not ashamed about myself nor feel sorry for anything. What you see or feel is real. I am not pretending to be someone else. and I am passionate about my dream. Dream to be a good photographer/artist. Dream to have my own family with whom I deeply in love. Well, is there anything wrong when you sure about your love and your dream and you do whatever it takes to make them come ture? But see, when shit happens, I am abandoned. Anyway, I will face whatever I need to face. As part of grow up is to learn how to make decision and take the responsbility of my choice. Whatever it is, live with it. il Bel Paese July 24th, 2009 | 18:36
I spend the last few days touring around Italy, AKA il Bel Paese (the beautiful country). This is a nation with so much to live up to. Many of its sights seems so familiar that the risk of disappointed expectations is real one. Fortunately, though, no photo can portray the thrill of exploring the Colosseum in Rome or seeing Michelangelo's David in Florence. The unique atmosphere of Venice's haunting canals can never be felt by photos. Yet to me, I only wish, the trip could be with her. I love you. E.U July 19th, 2009 | 11:32
London is a fun city, but there is just not enough time sitting at a coffee. After a week of staying, I am heading to Amsterdam today to fullfill the dream from highschool, going to the Ajax arena to buy a home court jersey. Then there will be a week of trip over some cities in EU. Time to pick up some quality time of being alone. Yinan Max Wang Photo July 16th, 2009 | 22:45

Another day in LCF. Everything went out well. I made new friends and they are super nice people. Today's course was emphasized on the beauty shot. I tried 3 different models with different lighting setups. It's definitely FUN to making beautiful/artistic images in the studio. London College of Fashion July 13th, 2009 | 21:16
Today is my first fashion photography course in LCF. I had so much fun and learned more than I could expect. However, images I took were more on the portraiture end than fashion. Well, let's wait and see what I can do tomorrow. Sunday July 12th, 2009 | 20:39
It's Sunday, so relaxed. I basically did nothing but it's just comfortable. Funny to think this way, one could be happy by doing nothing. I mean, it's like you could feel full by eating nothing. It's one of kind of art to live with loneliness and enjoy it. Well, I took central line this afternoon to Notting Hill. It's a quiet neighbourhood and reminds me the romantic movie. Late in the afternoon, I bused to Oxford Circus and had a lovely dinner in an Italian restaurant Bella Italia. Food was so good. I ordered tomato soup, calamari and a glass of Chardonnay. The table was by the window with candle on. Two days after landing, I start enjoy myself in this "old fashion" city. My photography course will be started tomorrow. I am so looking forward to it. Piccadilly Circus July 11th, 2009 | 23:23 I cook. I eat. I walk. I learn. I see. I live. I love! London July 10th, 2009 | 20:23
7:00am, EK0007 was landed at Heathrow airport, terminal 4. The rental apartment is near Chancery lane station and it's easy to find. In the afternoon, I went for a long walk. Starting from High Holborn street, I walked to British Museum, then Soho, National gallery, Trafaltgar Square, all the way down to St. Paul's church. Phew, I am tired!!!!!! Dubai July 9th, 2009 | 07:26
This is not the city as exciting as Las Vegas or as comfortable as any other holiday places. I stop by Dubai for almost 14 hours today. Probably it's once in my life time experience. The only thing that make me happy was the fact that I bought a city-mug from Starbucks in Dubai Mall. I don't want to see the world by myself. It's too lonely. There are places people should ever go with significant other, not alone. Why alone? Damn, I miss her, can't even stop. Less is More July 7th, 2009 | 15:32
The luckest thing happened in the recent weeks was watching the dance of Mrs.Yang Liping in her stage show "Sound of Shangri-La". Her dance was so simple but beautiful. What's more amazed was the fact that she is in her 50th and still dance. Dancing for whole life, she should be the best dancer so far in China. Well, she is an artist. The following video clip was from one of her dance called "Moon Light". I watched it live last year in China National Theater. It's unforgettable! There are lot of dancers, dancing in complicity with difficult moves without heart and soul. Yet for Mrs.Yang, less always means more. It applies to life as well. Less is more!

Sunday night, I am at office, working on Zhang Junfeng's project. It's showering outside. I am glad the project will be ended soon. Or it must be! I am leaving Beijing in 3 days to Europe. There are places that she used to be, and I want to see them all with my own eyes. I miss her already. 40 Degree Inside Out July 3rd, 2009 | 13:00
Another friday with tons of works to do. Then, there is the weekend. Beijing is HOT lately. 40 degree is not funny at all. Despite the hot weather, what made me really uncomfortable was the mistake I made during the last production for master Zhang Junfeng. Images in video cut off his foot for like 5 mins. This is unforgiveable!!!! Why didn't I correct it at that time? DAMN! @.@!! All photos copyright © Yinan Max Wang |
