Letters from the Equator

It is starting to get colder, for some reason. It rained a few days ago, and I suppose that could be a contributing factor. This makes walking more arduous, as my skin cracks to the dry air around me. I suppose this is a drawback, but I prefer it to skin infections which were more [...]

UCL quadrangle 2, originally uploaded by spkennedy3000.
I am dead tired from being out the whole day, but I just had to satisfy my curiousity and find out what the big deal ISOP was all about.

3 suitcases. 60kg.

“Before Tsunami, everything chaos. After Tsunami, peace. Because after Tsunami, both sides no more” - local Acehnese who worked for [...]

Hornbill Sunset, originally uploaded by jaremfan.
I took a photo of this hornbill at feeding time. The photos I took this time around came out a lot sharper because I’ve started using F-stops around 5.6 and 8. I used to open it up wide at 2.8 or 4. Plus, in bright daylight, a faster shutter speed [...]

I went to Macau recently, and finally got around to posting the photos on Flickr. It’s been a long delay - so I’m now trying to make up for the investment I made in the PRO account. Hope you enjoy it. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here for you.
Here’s the link to the [...]

I must admit it isn’t quite wrong to reach new heights of retail utopia - but a ‘beach’ atop a shopping mall has got to be one of those things that makes me wonder if someone was just getting ahead of themselves.
The landscaping is done very nicely, I must say. It makes for walking around [...]
