Upside-Down Jellyfish?

Is it just me or has anyone else looked at these pieces of art and wondered: Huh?

I can appreciate the effort to provide some art pieces around the Olympic Oval but how did they come about choosing an upside-down jellyfish? Or am I looking at it the wrong way... I guess I wouldn't mind so much but I foresee some problems with maintaining an upside down mesh pocket suspended couple hundred feet into mid-air above swamp/lagoon terrain........and guess how much that will cost to keep this art, art?

Enchanted Miracle 2009

The CSU club from SFU organized a modeling show again this year called Enchanted Miracle. Enchanted Miracle is a fundraiser aimed to help the Richmond Hospital collect money for new equipment.

I was fortunate enough to snatch myself a ticket and a decently close seat to try out some modeling photography for a change! As you can tell, I was only allowed to stay in my seat but I tried to capture different effects nonetheless! Need to work on focusing and composition though! Lots of things going on in the photos

Night Oval

During one of the late summer nights, I dropped by the Richmond Olympic Oval to practice some night shots. I'm pretty satisfied with my shots considering I still don't have a tripod! Rainy nights and stormy clouds now tho.....

A secret window appears only at night time. If you look carefully, a shadow will lurk across the room... ;)

Remembrance Day

They shall grow not old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Long past beach season

Photo-therapy: keeping warm with summer-ish pictures? Hahaha, it's not really working i think....

Richmond is haunted......

So Halloween night, I wandered Richmond checking out Jordan's Haunted House and a nicely decorated front yard on No. 2 by Moncton. Next year: Fright Night perhaps?
