Remember the era of CD-ROM? This was about fifteen years ago. I remember labouring in creating few titles, most of them coded in proprietary engine, lots of bitmaps, waves, resolution half of what is on a screen on now a common smart phones. The interactivity of it though are prettymuch like what you see in most mobile games now, simple game logic, lots of low resolution videos, embeded educational content and QTVR as a method of navigation. Pretty hot stuff back then. These screens were from PBS Nature Interactive CD-ROM, I designed and art directed.

I intend to continue posting through the new year, most likely not daily but with some interesting twists.

On a familiar route, for something new and maybe grand. I look up!

A whole year of looking down where I stood, noticing things that make stories. I don't really know what the stories were, I just know there were many. I might someday string them all together, maybe. For now let's just talk accounting. I walked where I needed to be, stood and took perhaps thousands of pictures. I posted 488 "Standing" pictures:
January 65, February 49, March 52 (1 video), April 41, May 39, June 41, July 40, August 23, September 37, October 39, November 33, December 29.
There is an apparent attemp made to post once a day, and there is obvious inconsistency. August was a low number, I spent most of the time barefooted or wearing open sandals... 

For the the year of 2012, I will not going to try to post once a day. But I'll try something more thematic.

Stepped off the bus into the foggy night. The lights talked differently that night. More melancholy, no pointed, nor pierced, but nudged. I walked slow, let my self persuaded to stop, and we chatted. The fog, the light, and me with my lens whom were moist and taken.

It is now fall, soon it will be winter. Good coffee and warm muffin would be good to start a day. So would a page or two of any one of my sketchbooks. Lot's of pages to be filled on Calico's sketchbook. Scupture to be imagined two dimensionally.

Heaven yes, why not? That's what I said.
But obsessing taking food pictures is another thing. It might ruin your dinner dates,
and people will look at you (only slightly -- well depends on how big is your camera), funny.

I should blame all the foodies...

 Interesting collection of cookie jars on display at a local antiques store. They were interestingly lined up three rows on display, but I found them stunning in close up, even with some reflection on the glass between us.

Carbonblack™ has kindly let me and Jasper altered a photograph from his Obsidian series.

I was once told that one can tell a lot about someone by how their home is decorated, furnished, or organized. By the things they collect; art, antiques, records, photos on the wall, or all sorts of questionable utensils. I still couldn't tell. But I love discovering, and with permission capture those things, photographing them. It is even better when they could potentially make a good series, or tell a good story. Such these hot pot holders from my friend EO's kitchen.

Big and small these beasts roam the city. Being boisterous and noisy they flex their mechanical muscles, claiming their spots amid rushing city life. I love them, they are handsome beast.
