autumn

A season of colours, fallen leaves and bare trees

  
Maple Leaf

Leben, Lieben, Lacheln

4 unemployed men spending a chilly afternoon at a dodgy, rundown area getting drunk. They were surprisingly friendly when I requested for permission to take a photo of them, probably due to the fact that they have almost emptied their drinks. We chatted a bit after the shot on where I was from and what I was doing in Germany. I thanked them after.

to live, to love, to laugh.

enough portrayed.

as the sun set...

before waiting for another few days (hopefully, or at most, 2 weeks, i PROMISED) for more of the colourful images i promised from the previous entry, here's one from Barcelona.



the soft and warm evening sunlight...
occasional sea breeze... 
the sound of seagulls...
and knowing that your loved ones are enjoying the very same moment...



C'est la vie!

Port Vell, Barcelona

images en couleurs

in case any of you speak Francais (actually even if you don't), I ought to clarify that I am only at level *drum rolls ..............* 1B, a.k.a. pretty lousy! I ordered a veal kidney in Marseille thinking that it was  
s t e a k. So yea, I am that bad, terrible, hopeless. 

Having experienced that, i still love french cuisine and the language a lot (and also to make sure i don't mistake an internal organ for steak ) Anyway, I think the title of this post means 'colourful images' or it might just be 'colour images'. Don't care la, my next french class is tomorrow and it's too long away to wait! I'll change it if it's wrong, for the time being, just take it as colouful images O.K.? =) 

*10. November 2009 - I have finally consulted my French teacher! She said images en couleurs is simply colour photos, not really literally colourful colourful. am i making any sense here? Anyway, here's the correct one - Des photos haut en couleur -*   


mon mur rouge (my red wall)

toit (roof)

I'll upload more colourful photos soon. 

La Lavande (should it be les instead of la for being plural? I need to consult my lecturer =P )

en Voyage

pictures of people

a friend once pointed that my photos needed more 'life' in them, that they are lacking people, lacking that extra bit, that x-factor to compliment the setting, which sometimes can be pretty but yet boring. she suggested that the scenes needed human, needed something more than just a pretty surrounding. 

So, i took her advice and worked on that area (when i can, when i remember, =P) hence here's a collaboration of some old shots which i somehow managed to squeeze some sparks into the scene. I hope they work and you will like them! 


love from atop... (Cinque Terre, Italy)

new friendship in the making... (Malacca, Malaysia)

awaiting, pondering... (Heidelberg, Germany)

J'aime Paris, pour de vrai?

I've actually been deleting and rewriting this post. I can't seem to put any thoughts into words at the moment. It's Paris and I've been here 3 times! The first when I was just 13 when '11 (might be more) countries across Europe in 15 days' was a mega-hit! I remember only passing through Germany and just stopping by the blackforest and a cuckoo clock factory, so that was one country already! -__- 

Another 2 times for the past 2 years and to be honest, I am surprised myself that I haven't gotten sick of the city yet and would really like to go back one day and explore it on my own and discover its hidden charm! perhaps, 11 streets in 15days this time? A bientot, Paris! =)

a bit of London

an update for the very first post from this blog :) 

I am still deciding to post more or just these shots. Don't want to have way too many photos from one trip but at the same time, i don't suppose these 3 shots do London justice! I know I know, I am full of contradiction! Sometimes I contemplate so much on simple matters and it's annoying myself! 我举个例子 - I have been thinking back and forth about whether to get an ipod or iphone, or not get one at all, or get one with the same functions from other brands! baaaa... Anyway, let's not get carried away! London... 

taxi taxi...

time is of the essence
