Moving Within The Movie World

I’ve been so caught up in the film world and have done less photography projects in the past few months. My writing work has also been keeping me a bit more private these days. Time to share again! “nightdreamblues” (yes, writer West Liang insists that it’s spelled lower case!) is …

Experiments

I’m currently trying to figure out how to best blur the lines between photography and painting. So I sit in front of my computer, and try to let my instincts tell me how or what I want to convey. Sometimes, it makes me feel pretentious. Other times, I feel liberated …

Happy Pilgrims’ Harvest Memorial Day!

My little sister Sandra is quite the special lady. She is one of the most kindhearted, funniest, and smartest people I know. She’s just awesome! She came to visit me a few weeks ago, and we decided to take some pictures together with the use of our remote controls. Double …

Selfies And A Bug Eye

Yesterday, I remembered that my sister got me a remote control to my camera as a birthday gift this year. We had experimented with long shutters and night shoots, and I thought it was so cool and helpful that she had one for her camera (we be nikon babies!). Sweet …

My Utopia Is Called Black Rock City: BURNING MAN 2010

I have been very MIA from the blogging world, but I have a good reason: I became a naturalized new citizen of Black Rock City. Now, before you raise your eyebrows and “congratulate” me on my new status with a concerned and disapproving shrug, let me tell you a little …

Audience

Last week, I was walking my dog when a homeless guy stopped me. Often times, I ignore incidents like these and just keep walking, but this time I opted for a polite conversation. The streets were filled with people, and I was feeling pretty safe with the leash of my …
