Running amid dark blue night.., HW DVP North Toronto Nov 23 2009

i like the running shots
whether i am moving
or the object is moving..
or both..

i just keep shooting and shooting
the similar scenes on my way back home..
in the night..
preferably.. foggy, rainy or snowy night..



Nada: il cuore è uno zingaro

Show case Fantasia.., Yonge and Bloor Street Toronto Nov 25 2009

i really appreciate the lovely snapshots
of the display artists' imagination..

those are much more than product promotion..
i like that!

Flower Duet

Year End Mood.., Cumberland Street Toronto Nov 25 2009

Beatles: Lady Madonna

바람불어 좋은 날.. Blowing in the Wind.., Cumberland Toronto Nov 25 2009

the answer is...
.. blowing in the wind..

however..
the milestone is so crytal clear..

Bob Dylan and Joan Baez: Blowing in the Wind

아련함 misty horizon on the highway.. ,HW401W Toronto Nov 24 2009

reminiscent.. isn't it?

what are you looking back then..?

Singing Nun: Entre les Etoiles

moment of intensity.., HW 401W Toronto Nov 23 2009

rarely.. and luckily of course
i used to take a chance of capturing
some worthy moments of reflection
only with the aid of the optical apparatus..
as opposed to those gifted artists
who CREATE the moments..

... poor me..

fond of the mood in the night.., HW DVP Toronto Nov 23 2009

時空美學 Beauty of Newtonian Space and time, Toronto Island Jun 21 2009

more an more
i'm getting acknowledged to the beauty of Newtonian world..

moving here to there with our own pace
adjusting ourselves to the relevant set of space & time
is not anymore feasible as far as our
business protocol is concerned..

.. as we shrink more of our space, i.e. as we fly faster,
we might have more pandemic tragedies
which will be totally out of control..
like the one of today..

now we stand right in the middle of quantum world..
full of semiconductor and opto-electromagetic driven business
manipulating all the micro-level of uncertainties
for our own sake..

yes.. we are living in the world of micro robots
which could detect and fight against a single bad blood cell..
which could wrestle against malicious bacteria..
which might fix and replace even a single string of DNA..

we all live in the world of miraculous sheets of
filtering salt or contaminated water  into fresh one..
due to nano technology.. though yet economically feasible..

hopefully all these fused extreme technologies
could shed some lights on us in solving ubiquitous problems surrounding us..



Intermezzo: Cavalleria rusticana

at the Bar.. , 'the KEG' Yonge and Sheppard Street Toronto Nov 21 2009

...
i couldn't find my favorite on the menu..
maybe because it's tooooo out of dated..
only favored by me kind of
old young man.. or young old man.. whatever.. :p


. do you have Dry Martini?
.. yes
. let me have that
.. with Vodka or Jin?
. Jin

. no
.. with olive?
. lots of.. ^,~

it's been a long time to have the strong dry martini..
.. may father's favorite..

it was strong..
the olives were much bigger than i used to have..

Chet Baker: Almost Blue..

sometimes.. , Wolfrey and Broadview Toronto May 3 2008

..
sometimes..
simple, humble and monotonic thing
attracts me much..

who cares purity or modesty nowadays.. ??
we might visit a museum of anthropology sort of place
to find the value of the meaning..

.. but i do care.. sometimes..
though never always..

삶 blown away like dust.., Wolfrey and Broadview Toronto Nov 19 2009

still managed to be part of the mother tree
the leaves had been hardly shattered by the stormy wind
during the whole night..

all of a sudden , one leave was blown away into the darkness
then, two, three... countless..
leaves were being scattered away in every other directions..
getting back to where they'd come from..
like dust in the wind..

so do i will.. sooner or later..
.. under the sheath of time..

제 어미 나무에 겨우 겨우 붙어있었던 나뭇닢들이
늦은 밤 내내 태풍같은 바람에 세차게 흔들리고 있었다.

그러다 한닢이 바람에 날려 어두움 속으로 살아지고..
그리곤, 다음 잎, 다음 잎..
셀 수 없는 잎들이 사방으로 흩어져
그들이 왔던 곳으로 돌아갔다..
마치 먼지처럼..

조만간 나 역시 세월에 칼날 앞에..
그렇게 먼지처럼 스러져 갈것을..

Night Shots with ISO 3200 while running 120km/h, HW DVP & 401 W Toronto Nov 19 2009

i had a high expectation over
the higher number of ISO with Canon 50D.
my old Olympus has max 1600 compared to 3200 of Canon.

Canon can virtually reach 12800 with High ISO option

in which i will try tonight.. ^,~

the result shows it's just not bad..
though it's far from excellence.. ^,~
