the urge…

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

every time i walk along the busy sidewalks in the heart of san francisco, my mind keeps telling me to come to these same spots during the wee hours of the mornings with my camera. that way, i’d find many great photo ops with no human beings in my sight. i just truly love how the san francisco runs without human beings in my sights. last night, after we were kicked out by borders as it was closing at a local mall, we were one of the last people to leave the mall’s grounds. i told my darling to take a glance at the empty floor of the mall’s 3rd floor. all the shops were closed in and it was pretty dead yet i knew that the photo would look wonderful. but i didn’t bring my camera with me this time. that lead me to me thinking, how wonderful it’d be to work as a graveyard janitor for a few months with my camera daily. i’m sure that a regular janitor may not even care about how lucky he is to see all eerie, quiet moments everywhere. i think that’s something i’d LOVE to be in his shoes just for that moment because many people don’t even get the opportunity to get that glimpse of moment in their lifetimes.

blah blah blah… i guess it’s just one of those things that keeps fluttering in my mind occasionally because very often, i don’t see many photos of these kinds of eerie moments anywhere…

lucky or not?

earlier today, i was reading news about the tensions between belarus and us. belarus has ordered many US embassy’s staff to pack up and leave. also earlier this year (or was that last year?) kosovo was having a crisis about the independent declaration.

now, why do i feel lucky about these situations? well, we were in belarus and kosovo just last august and we just simply never thought that these political tensions would arise someday soon! at this moment, i’m sure that the state of department is advising its US citizens not to travel to those places…

we definitely would hate to be in the middle of political tensions in someone else’s turf. i do hope that those problems would be resolved as soon as possible so we all the people could get a nice harmony and share our interests with each other!
