Tired of studying

So, here are a couple photos that I took for experiment/fun.

Malaysian Night

Although the Malaysian Night 2008 was spetacular, I'm depressed by the fact that I am still undecided whether I should spend most time and energy into photojournalism than anything else... I know things won't always turn out well or "as expected" but sometimes I feel I'm trapped by the disconsolate mood that I think is caused by other egoists like me. I guess I should not even start thinking like this. And, I should be thankful to the fact that I am enjoying the oppotunity to learn and study many things here in U.S..

Lunar Eclipse

The lunar ecplipse that happened a night before my calculous exam...

At What Price...?

I visited A-Bomb Dorm and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum today. Shocking images and mementos of the a-bomb victims reminded me of the Holocaust museum in D.C.. Seeing how the atomic bomb was developed and used to turn Hiroshima into one of the most tragetic places in the world, I thought it is always the harmless individuals who were victimized in a tragedy like this... Either the Holocaust or Hiroshima, it shouldn't be possible that insanities of murdering be tolerated or justified during wars...

In Hiroshima, the first a-bomb was dropped, but at what price? Two billion dollars that is spent on the Manhattan project? An end to the world war? Those 140,000 people who died from the bomb? Possibility of nuclear wars that can lead to the termination of our own kind and many other species?

Obviously the price of the lesson comes tremendous, but that's why it has to be learned so that the tragetic hisotry won't repeat itself.

Finally, the words of a photographer who took pictures right after the a-bomb was dropped have stood out in my memory - it took almost 30 minutes to encourage myself to take the first picture. Then, I became calm. So I got close to the subject. I tried to see the finder to realize my teers covering it and couldn't see well.

At Golden Pavilion

Temple covered with gold.... it was amazing....

Unfortunately, I found this crane and became obsessed to it. So, I really didn't see the golden temple much...

I think I just like taking photos of animals and birds in general.
