2008 is ending which means my birthday is here. Leaving Paris in a bit and heading back to London. This is one of the few years I spend my birthday in 2 big cities. Think the last time I did that it was Shanghai and Singapore or something like that. Got some nice photos here in Paris so I’m pretty excited to share them soon. Moving to a new place in London (good friends are welcome to visit any time) then heading over to Austria for skiing. Will be back to update my blog when I’m back in 2009! Happy New Year everyone! And happy eating (:

The Crime Scene

[We were supposed to do a series of photos again, but this time it was a "colour series": 1 for every colour of the rainbow plus 1 each for grey, black and white. In the end, these were the photos that somehow had the strongest narrative. Woke at 5 to go shooting this morning because we were tasked to capture the markets in London as well. Hence, all the photos in my "colour series" were taken as I walked from one market to another, ie: in transit. It really felt a little scary/shady at some parts of the morning when it was still dark and quiet. The sun only rose at 8 am.]
Chasing London

[The second of my series of 7 photos from the photography assignment yesterday. Funny how my second series turned out better than my first intended series. Can you get a taste of my London? Can you get my taste of London?]

ι I heart London
[Taken just a few hours ago at Piccadily Circus during the night photography brief of the day for my course.]
Been so busy as last week was the last week of the school term, and we had our final group presentations. My group had to put up a presentation supporting a convincing argument that was anti-morality, and we approached it from a pro-immorality point of view. Pretty tough one I must say. Ten weeks of my very first school term in London just flew by. Then it was busy enjoying the few days of the Christmas holidays. Plus an awesome-packed weekend with lots of food and exploring London by walking.
I’ve just started another short course at Central Saint Martins this week and it’s travel photography. We’re right smack in the middle of the course today as it ends this Friday. It’s been really working my eyes, brain, heart and soul in a different way from academia. The wonderful thing about London is all these opportunities I have to learn new things, eat new things, see new things.
