    I am seeing you at Facebook.com

     
              
    I am going to stay on my Facebook.com most time instead of here.
     
    I know msn space holds better quality of picture, but i think i am just used to Facebook.com which is more easier for me to connect with my friends on my way.
     
    i guess i am going to see you on Facebook then:
    if you are new to Facebook, you better write something for friend request, otherwise i am not going to recognize who you are.
     
    <3 see you, then

    上海人都知道的白玉兰

     
     
    回家路上,突然看见这棵只有花没有叶子的大树,惊呆了。
    前一晚没戴隐形眼镜,所以坐在车上也看不清楚是什么花,
    隐隐约约就觉得那树大,花也大,应该不是樱花的。好奇心的驱动下,停了车,下去看了一下。
     
        
     
    一看吓一跳... 原来是白玉兰,上海人都知道的呀,上海的市花嘛!!
    哦,这棵是紫de, 是紫玉兰!
     
    可在上海的时候,从来没见过这么大的一棵玉兰花树,
    从前实验学校里种的都还没有我人高呢,一根树干上也就那么一两朵花...
    怎么也没想过原来白玉兰是可以长成那么高大的。

    Hiking Day

     
        
    holding my favorite 'purse' :P
     
     
        
     
        
    there is a lot of little tiny white flower there,
    i was thinking how to take a picture of them...em... difficult!!
     
         
    it's nice having some place to sit and enjoy the fresh morning air during the hiking :)
    follow the sign, at least we won't get lost *.*

    大年初一的好消息 :)

     
              
    收到 Photographer's Forum 杂志的通知信, 说上次 submit 的照片会在6月份 Best of College Photography 2009 中发布哦。
     
    这份信都看了半小时了,还很难相信是真的。不是没有作品发表过,不过 Photographer's Forum,还真的没想到过他们会给我回信。学摄影的时候,除了看教科书外,看得最多的就是这本杂志了。学校里的 photo lab 总有一本是放在那里给大家欣赏... 无语了,太开心了。
     
    哇! 今天才年初一呢 :)

    Butterfly heaven

     
       I have a lot of wishes,
    but I have never never dream to be surrounded by
    thousands butterflies at once.
     
     

    The place I grow up barely to see one life butterfly,
    I could get so excited chasing them at a public garden when I was a kid.
     
    So you can imagine what my action was
    when I saw thousands butterflies flying over my head.
     
     


    Life is full of surprise, I am glad that I can discover them in my life time.
    And specially with the person I love, I am pleased.
    Thanks for showing me a such wonderful place.

    Cupertino Memorial Park

     
        
     
    工作的 office 的对面就有一个 Park,今天闲来拉着一个喜欢摄影的朋友去那里逛逛。
     
         其实是我想去喂鹅...
     
     
    他们才不怕人,知道你手上是吃的东西后,他们会就会自己来抢了:)

    次贷危机 的 影响

     
              
    今天一天里见到了4家快递公司:
    UPS、FedEx、DHL... 还有一个忘了名字。可想而知,接下来的几天会有多忙了。
    看着一个包裹一个包裹送进来时,我只能无奈的对老板报怨了起来...
    换来了老板的一句:“你要庆幸你现在是很忙的!”

    My New Drive License

     
              
    Finally, got my new drive license.
    After move back to San Jose, I ordered a new card for updating my new address.
    But I didn't get it for long time, even Sarim got his new one already... :(
    But after I visited DMV, I am not angry at all...
    because they said, my drive license was hold because I have to take a new picture.
    I looks too young on the picture, haha... xix....  happy...
    xixi....   Took a new picture, and got a new license.
     
    new picture looks same, after all, old picture I just took it no more than 2 years :)
    Really, I don't mind my Drive License be hold by this reason.
    hehe...hehe.... hehe

    Self Portrait

     
    老师跟我说过句话,“when reaches some point,  people will do self-portrait at once.” 
    所以老师接着问我,是什么原因我选了 'self portrait’ 为题目做了那整一学期的 project。
    那个时候我回答不上来... 也不知道老师和我说这话的意思,
    不会是认为我学了那么久 photography, 最后用在了 self portrait 上,浪费了?
    作品交齐后,老师却给了超乎我意料外的评价,也主动要求留了我的作品,这门课我拿了 A+。
    也许是这样的自信,每每拿起相机,都不自觉地开始动起脑筋来‘自拍’,当初为了交出5幅作品那可是绞尽脑汁。
     
    今天一个人拍着拍着,好像开始明白了,与自己的相机沟通了不下5年。
    从 开始模仿 到 刻意避开 别人的风格; 从开始寻找属于自己的style ,到担心被别人模仿的一个过程。
    想必,那时选择自拍也是觉得这个课题是不容易模仿的。
    不用去学镜头前别人的刻意摆弄,也不必模仿别人各种各样的作品风格,
    同时作为摄影师和模特儿的我,想必别人模仿起来那也就是双倍的难。
     
     
             
     
    那样开始的自拍之旅,并不是一帆风顺的,但我愿意接受挑战。
    因为我享受同时在镜头前和后的感觉,当然不会只简简单单对着镜子拍,
    给大家看一堆厕所和客厅的背景... haha... :)

    Which Road To Take

     
              
    站在十字路口迷茫的时候,第一个是要听生命中对我最重要的人的意见,
    因为我总是希望他们快快乐乐的,他们也是希望我时时刻刻开心的。
    其次是听多数人的建议,毕竟那是我生活的圈子 :)
    绝对不能听纳站在同一十字路口人的建议,他们在选的同时,建议是自我的。
     
    今天突然想起这些,因为想起几年前有些人告诉我,我是肯定不可能坚持下来拿到绿卡的。
    我好开心,虽然这一路不平坦,但今天我做到了。那时选择的不放弃,才有了今天的新开始!
    没有选择和他们一样的退路,今天感觉好庆幸。
     
    昨天兴冲冲跑到学校,想去选些一只来想上但和专业无关的课,
    毕竟学费从120降到18一个学分,以后想学什么都可以去上了:)
    无奈,学校说要等上一年,我的学费才能降到加州居民的学费标准。
     
    一下子,除了上班,我还真不知道干什么了,哈哈!

    facebook and more...

     
              
    开心网的国内人气比较旺!
    校内网绝对是传说中的中文版 facebook。
     
    但还是会坚持使用 facebook,毕竟是 classical 的,
    功能和安全性强大多了,面对的群众使用范围也广大多了 :)
