London trip

It was more than a month ago but at least it's here. London is quite a nice city if the air is a little less polluted I think it would have been one of the nicest city I have been to. Note, nicest, not most beautiful.

This flagpole reminded me so much about my midshipman days

Photoshopping

It's been four days after my exams ended and still haven't sort out the photos to be printed. Since digital photography came into my life, the numbers of photo I have in my computer sort of exploded. However, the number of times I have actually look at them, compared to printed ones actually reduced. I have decided to print some of the more memorable ones so as to admire them more frequently and as a backup, just in case my computer crash or something. The next amazing thing about digital photography is that you can manipulate the photos any way you want. Although it requires lots of reading up and lots of time, I think it's worth it. Photos are usually the best encapsulation my memories so they should be as beautiful as possible. Some of the photos after I "lomograph-ed" them. For the uninitiated, Lomography is done using a camera that sort of distort the colours and act some random blurness in the photo. Photographs are supposed to be taken spontaneously from the hip. Since I can't afford a lomograph (it is being monopolised) I am just getting some kick of it via photoshopping.
