백년보다 긴 하루.. a day longer than 100 years.., DVP Toronto Nov 22 2009

'열린책들'에서 나온 책들은
거의 묻지마 수준으로 사서 읽곤 했었다.
베르나르 베르베르를 비롯해 아멜리 노똥, 폴 오스터
그리고 왕년의 스타 솔제니친과 새로운 러시아 작가들..

내가 열린책들의 서적들을 좋아할 수 밖에 없었던 또 다른 이유는
탁월한 선택의 작가와 작품은 논외로 하더라도
보통의 책들보다 약간 작은 사이즈에 튼튼하고 두터운 하드커버,
그리고 매우 현대 예술적이며 내용에 적절한 표지 디자인 때문 이었다.

광화문 교보문고나 삼성동 반디앤루니스 에 들를때면
언제나 열린책들 코너 주변에 서성이며 신간을 찾곤 했는데..

백년보다 긴 하루..

거대한 우주선 로케트..
그 옆의 자그만 낙타를 타고 사막을 지나는 사람
그리고 그 두 아이콘을 감싸며 비상하려는 하얀 새..

그렇게 짚어든 그 카자흐스탄 문학작품은
그 표지의 디자인 보다 훨씬 더 아름다웠다.

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..

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

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.. ^,~

do you hear the sound of silence..?, homeward bound HW DVP & 401 W Toronto Nov 15 2009

..

winter is coming slowly but unyieldingly..
day by day.. morning after morning..
..

all of a sudden,
i just liked to listen to the music of
the sound of silence..
by the legendary duet..


hello darkness my old friend..
..
and the vision that was planted in my brain..
..

힘좋음 에 대한 환상 pondering on 'bigger and mor powerful..', HW DVP North and HW 401 West Toronto Nov 13 2009

i had been too much obsessed by the slogan type of idea that
.. the bigger, the more powerful, and the faster... the better..
for a long time in my life..

certainly driven instinctively by my masculine desire
as well as brain-washed by sociopolitical need
for high-performer driven society.

so i have a kind of fantasy
toward the bigger and powerful thing..
like 18-wheel truck, armored vehicles, or trains.. etc..

.. though now i know how childish & risky thinking it had been..
