For most part anyway. At the lowest points, I thought to myself: There.is.no.God.

]]> 摄影半吊子 tag:vox.com,2009-12-28:asset-6a00c2252b3e708fdb0123ddf83922860d 2009-12-28T11:02:17Z 2009-12-29T08:14:17Z KoalaCling http://koalacling.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom 旅行的时候, 我经常会不自觉地进入"摄影半吊子"的状态. 比如, 为了赶路, 没有太多的时间让我琢磨构图. 或者, 因为想完完全全享受美丽的灯火,所以摘下了厚厚的 "黑眼镜" (相机也), 让美景尽收眼帘. 我, 是个贪玩的旅客, 所以任性地舍弃了摄影的精神, 成了不折不扣的 "摄影半吊子". 多希望有一天, 眼睛不只会说话, 还能直接拍下相片, 让我抛开沉重的单眼, 好好利用上天所赐的双眼!

Xmaseve2009 Xmas2009

Season's greetings to all, we are back from Tokyo! The vacation was a mixed bag of hits and misses, Hated the congested city centre (Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza), enjoyed the areas further from town (Tsukiji, Asakusa, Odaiba), and absolutely...

This time round, the mister has most admirably done all the planning, so I get to be a lemming and just follow his directions. Here's the lemming routemap, at a glance: Day 1 - Hello Japan! ...

The question took me by surprise. This means that the four-year old is now aware that the adults, like his classmates at the childcare centre, too come in...
