Experiences Fun

Congratulations!

Yesterday I attended the wedding of a close friend – in fact, I was best man!  Though I did not have to do too much, I think I felt more nervous than Leon (the groom)!  Leon’s been a good friend of mine for… heck, I guess over 10 years now.  We both attended the same introductory courses when starting university, and I have fond memories of us doodling (when admittedly we should have been paying attention to the teacher) during the less exciting sections of the lesson.  I still have some of those doodles stored away amongst my old papers… Leon was also my go-to guy for math/stats courses *shudder*.

He graduated before I did since he had already taken some university courses prior to TUJ, but we still kept in touch over the years.  It’s odd to see how we’re getting older, and (hopefully) more mature.  How time passes…

Anyway, his wedding was a great success – an absolutely lovely day, and everything went off without a hitch.  I’ve created a separate section to upload the pictures that I managed to snap after the ceremony.  For now I’ve only uploaded the black and white versions, but I’ll upload the color versions after I’ve had a chance to go through them – hopefully by this weekend.

Just for fun challenge – “Reflection”

Last week’s theme challenge was “Reflection”.  I deliberately worded it so that “Reflection” could imply either the obvious (a literal reflection) or the act/process of thinking.  I had intended to provide a picture of the latter interpretation for my submission, but time constraints shot that plan to pieces, and I went for the literal instead.  Oh well, next time!

Here are the submissions presented in the order they were received (click to embiggen):
(Unfortunately frequent contributor Tet was unable to provide an image in time.  However, if he sends something later on, I’ll edit this post to include it)

Orion performance (Metallica)

A former university classmate started taking guitar lessons early this year, and today he had a small performance to show off his new skills.  He played 2 songs (though I only recorded one of them – I took pictures of the other one).  This is a Metallica instrumental, in which he plays with his instructor.  He think he did really well!

(will upload pictures within the next day or two as well)

Challenges Fun

Just for fun challenge – music images

Last week I uploaded a light-painted image I had taken of my djembe drum.  That led me to thinking – why not do a weekly “challenge” of images based on a theme?

I proposed this to my 2 brothers (let’s call them J3 and J4) and they submitted the following pictures.

Submitted by J3 – Musical Alchemy

no images were found

Submitted by J4 – Untitled

no images were found

I think both pics are pretty neat, particularly considering they didn’t have time to think about it.  For “Musical Alchemy”, do any anime fans recognize the reference? 😉

I will try my best to keep doing this weekly – I’ve asked mom to come up with the “theme” for this week.  Rules are simple: anything goes, as long as it is remotely related to the theme.  Photographs, drawings made in Photoshop (or heck, MSPaint) – anything that’s interesting.

If anyone who reads these challenges wants to submit something, please send any submissions to justforfun@njmatsuya.com with the name of the challenge in the subject line.

Check back later for the next theme! 🙂
