 Some of my friends asked me why I stopped updating my blog, so I answered: "nothing much happened these days and boring life"  Yeah, but it doesn't mean will abandon it and I only will update it slower than before not as frequent.

When I look at the items i stated in my "to do list", I had done 1.5, so 8.5 to go!Why 1.5? because I am not too sure right now if that's stable yet.Meanwhile, I officially took over my sister's room to turn it into a studio. Hehehhe... And that punched a hole in my bank account :S



I am kind of addicted to shooting B/W these days because they don't need to much editing and are more about feelings, using my brain more.  There are just too many ppl abusing Photoshop these day to "make pictures" rather than "take pictures", which is very lame in a sense.  I had visited downtown couple of times in this month, usually shopping, eating and touring.  This particular scene was very normal to me when I was still a student.  Now when I think about it, I had never took a picture of it to become part of my memory.


Had went to job fairs, last year the room was full of land developers, construction companies, planning firms architecture firms, etc etc.  This time, there were only 8 companies in total who showed up, 3 only hires intern-ship or co-op, 2 non professionally related (army and UPS delivery), the rest hire full time/contract.

 
So it's Chinese New Year, I went to do some volunteer since I got nothing much to do.  Helped ORBIS Canada for a CNY event at Rogers Centre for celebrities coming from Taiwan and HK.  The coolest thing was that I could get free dinner and free VIP seat right in front of FIR, hahah awesome!


Gotta thank my friend so much to hook me up with such a cool volunteer job.


The next night, had a family dinner together with my aunt's big family with cousins.


I just wanted to keep myself busy rather than sitting at home, so I went for some shooting in the early early morning again.  It looked great.


Yes, it's so damn cold that nose drop couldn't stop bursting out. 


This was actually a bunch of scrap metal and rocks.


The lake is never frozen, argh.  Try again :S


 
I finally took a trip to the AGO ( Art Gallery of Ontario), it would be very dumb to go just by myself.  So this time i grab someone who's willing to share the experience with me.  I couldn't imagine it could take me more than 4 hours to finish walking around the gallery!  Another cool thing was that I found out one of my client works there, so I can always go back for free, wOooot. 


I liked the place's interior and architectural design more than ROM (Royal Ontario Museum).  It makes you feel relaxing due to how the light source were designed to light up the place naturally and the choice of building materials.  I bet the night lights would look more interesting.


Alright, time to go home and do more job search to get a better job.

Goal in 2009, 8.5 more to go!

Hi Calbee!  Your photos have improved over the years.  Great nature scenery pics esp. the one with the birds flying over the water.  Keep up the good work.  What have you been up to these days?
