Concealment is a beautiful thing. It was high noon and the awning of a restaurant at Eden Nature Park cast a perfectly straight shadow just above these plants. Beneath that shadow is actually the same warm shade of red ochre you see on the wall.

10 Things You Should Be: A Music Meme
I’m making my own music meme, because it’s been awhile since I answered one. Why wait for you to be tagged when you have a brain that can think for itself?
INSTRUCTIONS: List down the things you want your future (if you’re single) or hypothetical (if you’re taken but not too happy with your current) lover to be. Pick a band you like and answer using song titles. For the sake of coherence and to avoid being reprimanded by the Grammar Police, adding of articles/phrases is allowed.
Not too original a concept, right? But I think you’d still answer this one, too.
10 Things You Should Be: A Modern Love List According to Interpol
- a specialist
- a [closet] public pervert
- a narc to keep away bad habits
- have slow hands
- can get me all fired up but
- willing to help rest my chemistry
- enjoys the occasional PDA
- has gone / wants to visit and get lost in NYC
- prefers taking the next exit to roads few have traveled
- whose length of love spans ages and universes but circles back to us
Some photographers hate lens flare but I love it.
Others think that lens flare obscures the subject and just distracts more than contributes to the overall impact of a photo. There is some truth to that but I guess what I find more interesting is how lens flare appears in the first place. The conditions when taking a photo just have to be be perfect to create the “imperfection.”
I can imagine that this is how letting loose looks like: perfectly imperfect.

Maybe it’s time
to get into writing again. My brain is in dire need of a thought dump.

Just like a Mars Volta song. It sounds like a mess and doesn’t make sense at first but when it ends, you just get it.

Kent Williams is the same dude who illustrated “The Fountain” graphic novel based on the movie directed by Darren Arronofsky. Get yourself a copy (of the movie and graphic novel!) if you can.

Underwater ink photographs by Alberto Seveso.
Over the past two years or so there’s been no shortage of photography and short films featuring the sensuous curls of ink plumes dispersing underwater. Yet nobody comes close to the master, Italian photographer Alberto Seveso (previously here and here) who creates impressive underwater landscapes so rich in detail and color it makes me want to swim through my monitor. See more from his new series, a due Colori. -Designboom
Indeed; he is the master. Beautiful ink photography as such really requires high skill. All-time favorite! Check out more of his photography at http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/03/new-underwater-ink-photographs-by-alberto-seveso/!.
Oh my god.

Alcohol pron, anyone?
I figured there were so many people putting up food and cooking blogs, but not enough venturing into writing/photographing beer and other forms of alcohol. Ergo, I present to you, The Alcoholic Zebra. :)

” 30 minutes in ABC Street “
I’ve heard a lot about ABC Street from many friends that have been there many times. most of them been to ABC Street to buy an old camera, some film rolls, fix the camera, or buy the camera equipment they need.
and when I was in Bandung with my friends from jakarta, we took time to visit ABC Street just to treat our curiosity. some of my friends bought some stuff, some friends went to look around, and I tried to take pictures of some of the activities in ABC Street.
we do not have much time to linger there, because we got there late afternoon and had to return to Jakarta. so I only had about 30 minutes to take some pictures from there.
same as other cities in Indonesia with activities that are not too different. the streets are crowded with people passing by, many shops on every block., half of the street’s that used for parking, street vendors along the sidewalk, and some activities that you usually find in other cities.
