Abstract

No, I didn't use the liquefy tool in photoshop for this shot 😛

One of the nice things about my vacation was that when I went out with my family, I was more relaxed, in a better frame of mind to experiment occasionally.  Though I'm back at work now, I hope I can continue doing so.

This photo probably looks like a swirly mess, but regardless, I think it's important to try to see things differently, so I consider this practice towards that goal.  🙂

Good night from Tokyo!

Peace~

I visited Singapore for work last month but unfortunately only had part of a day off, so didn`t have much time to explore.  🙁
I ended up visiting the Gardens By the Bay, a pleasant (and more importantly, COOL) place to spend a few hours admiring the gardens and do some people-watching.

Got a few shots that I liked that day, but I thought this was the most fun 🙂

Biker cat

I know I posted this one to the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  group album before, but I wanted this in my own album as well since I rather liked it.  Plus, I was taking care of 4 cats this weekend, so it seemed fitting.

This weekend went by too fast… Monday again, and time to head off to work.. (T_T)

Afternoon constitutional

Yet another one from the #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk.  (I must say I got quite a few shots I liked on that day!)

This was taken just outside of Yanaka cemetery.  It's a great place to walk around and get people shots; I took another photo around this area during the sakura season that I really liked as well, and the whole area seems to have a temple or shrine on almost every corner.

It's a 3 day weekend, yay!  But I work on Monday still… (>_<).  But hopefully only a half day, so it's still a 2-and-a-half-day weekend 😉

Goodnight from Tokyo!

Nevermore

Another shot taken from the #GPlusPhotowalkJapan  / #GPlus2YearAnniversary  photowalk a couple weeks back.

We couldn't have asked for a better day weather-wise for Google's 2 year anniversary photowalk.  More to come, as I get the time to upload…

Title idea courtesy +Tim Buerger 😉

Happy Monday, time to get ready for work!

Despite the early hour on a weekend (8AM on Saturday actually), some people still have to go work.  Luckily not me (at least not this particular weekend); instead I spent the day shooting Shinjuku with +andrew holian – much more fun!  

There are loads of reflective surfaces in Tokyo, and this was taken at the entrance of a subway station, with the camera pushed up against the wall.  The tree was what initially caught my eye, but I waited until someone also walked by to add the human element that makes street images more interesting.

City life, reflected

It's Friday tomorrow and I'm looking forward to shooting the cherry blossoms this weekend – who else is also shooting sakura in Tokyo on Saturday?  🙂

Good night!

Sometimes, the train stations in Japan can be a little

"dangerous"

Lots of people with pointy objects running around everywhere and all that 😉

I stood in front of this poster for a while, trying to time the framing of pedestrians just right.  It was a little tricky, because the polite people (thinking that I just wanted a shot of the poster) would stop to give me time to take a picture… even though I wanted them in the image too!  

I ended up framing the shot in Live View, and then shooting from the waist while pretending to look around me as people walked by.
