Golden boy

With the right angle and proper lighting even a drab, gray, and dull colored statue like the Oblation might seem like it’s made of gold. I guess it’s just a matter of perspective.

Hiatus

That’s what I would like to call my absence from blogging.

It’s been more than a month since my last post and I am still struggling to actually write something up and post it. I guess I have been too busy with school and work and I was out of town without internet access for a week. But this feels like I’m making excuses

I’ve started writing a lot of stuff and for some reason I couldn’t get my self to post it. I actually have a lot of drafts stashed away all over and even actually posted one entry and quickly deleted it.

I wrote something about Beslan last month, during the first anniversary of the hostage taking incident at a school in Russia where more than 300 people died, half of them children. I wanted to post pictures and have a link to an entry I posted last year about that incident. But seeing the pictures was rather depressing and what I wrote felt so inadequate and lacking in substance that it remains in my hard disk still.

The pattern seemed to repeat it self. I would type something up and not get around to posting it. I wrote something about photography after I got myself a digital camera and quickly felt a desire to start shooting with my old SLR and black and white film after seeing the film “Closer” where Julia Roberts was a professional photographer taking pictures using an old film camera.

Maybe I’m not satisfied with what I have been coming up with…

What ever the reason, I’ve decided to start posting more pictures in lieu of words and I also plan to write a series of entries about our recent trip to Sagada. Oh well, here goes nothing.
