Yes we can, Obama.

Not that it really matters me about American politics (well it actually does matter in some way) but by seeing the speeches he gave, the charisma he shown, and by imagining the first black American president does make him appears to me as the best candidate of the coming presidential election.
However upon all the reasons, I have an almost instinct feeling of him that he is a good person and one that could take trust beyond the election.

yes, that is Barack Obama.

merkley and his 111??? album

Just paid usd $140 for this book titled '111???' by merkley. Featuring 111 women around himself all posed nude in their own living room/bedroom.

I found this guy on Flickr and was instantly captured by his distinctive style of photographs and ofcourse the bunch of nuded beauties that makes me really jealous of this lucky guy. I think he has a keen eyes for fashion, not to mention photographing skill and also a business mind. He has decided to sell only 111 copies of this album at the price of usd $111.

If anyone is interested you can get a copy here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/merkley/sets/72057594101614784/

met stacy

After almost 2 years of pure internet communication, finally I met Stacy in person. A talented new artist whose works are distinctively styled with the combination of surrealism and realism, often with a heavy-hearted message behind. Especially her paintings that I like very much.

It is interesting to put face onto imagination and it turns out to be a more interesting, real and better Stacy than I imagined.

May she finds whatever she looks for in life and the stars shine upon her path.

倫敦閒逛

前天突然覺得很無聊, 還沒有適應英國的生活, 出倫敦閒逛了一天. 去了 National Gallery Museum 看到很多名畫, 印像最深刻是一幅 The judgement of Lady xxxx (忙了名字 :p) 油畫, 畫中女子雙眼被蒙上等待死刑的到來, 是無數歷史洪流中的儀生品之一. 想到戰爭的背後意圖, 伊拉克的侵略, 多少人為戰爭而死. 想起在 Izzue 買的 t-shirt 一句 slogan:

Worse peace is better than best war.

感嘆世界何時才會沒有戰爭...

之後逛到紀念品店發現了一些有趣的東西:


最後到了 The Royal Academy of Arts:


其實還帶了相機裝上黑白菲林拍了很多照片, 但怎知...沖出來是空白一片....非常失望. 應該是菲林沒裝好吧. 下次要多加小心...心血都白廢了.

很期待交論文後的歐州之旅, 那時之前要練好基本的攝影技巧才行.

The women complication

(Reload if you see no picture above)
An interesting painting with five woman representing the five nation, describing the taiwan-china political situation. American seems to be the only one that was equiped with clothes (power) but as the Chinese and Russian are having their pants under the table, and Japan was totally naked. The Chinese also has their secret deals with Russian pairing up while Taiwan was too immature to stood beside. The Mao with a mustash painting may represent a new Chinese-Russian communism. Also the scene was set in an un-certain weather. Ma Jogh is never a simple game is it.

Came across this painting on Internet, it was said this painting was featured in one of the Art exhibition but I could not find out the exact source, if anyone has the info please let me know.
