Rotting Metal


It looks like this photo has been edited with that photoshop function "make into oil painting" or something to that effect. Actually the blotchiness is because it was taken with a 2.0mp cameraphone. This entire street in Penang had really interesting faded painted walls and a sense that there are only remnants of people remaining. Wish I had a better camera back then, Penang is definitely a photogenic city.

The Green Mangosteen


I quite like this picture. I like that it's fairly sharp, I like the blurriness in the background and I like that there are two twigs, two stems, two mangosteens both with slightly damaged skin, one more than the other. I like that they are green, thus young, unripe but with just a hint of purple creeping down their skins, soon to be juicy fruity goodness.

This mangosteen tree is actually on the corner of my street in the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. For about 20 years, I never realized it was there until one day at dusk with golden sunlight.

Dentists in Hotan, Xinjiang

Walking around various towns in Xinjiang, there seemed to be quite a high number of dentists in towns. With see through doors, young men and women in white lab coats and various dental equipment in the room, it definitely was not a "shop front" for some other sinister purpose. Conclusion is, rest assured that if you have a toothache in urban Xinjiang, there will be plenty of dental facilities at hand.

An illusion through the window

No posts since March? March!? Oh how I've neglected you, faithful camera! And you too, loyal blog! Fickle, fickle.
