What a sight! This was called Marilyn for not-so-obvious reasons (but to those who call the contour of the building as “sexy” – it is glaring!), and now called Absolute World 1 and 2, “They are Yansong Ma’s version of Yin and Yang,” says Danny Salvatore, president of Fernbrook Homes, which in partnership with the Cityzen Development group is creating the new community. “While the first tower captures the feminine, the second tower will be its counterpart, still romantic in its silhouette but more rugged and perhaps more robust.”

Last week, we were able to chase the changing colors of the foliage and at the same time create memories between us, the 2 sets of grandparents and our 2-year old. It was a memorable trip captured with the colors of the foliage as a great backdrop.

Here are additions to the collection through the years : Feet Around the World

Am on a self-imposed exile, aka vacation. I am a photo nut but apparently on sabbatical and have not dabbled into photography lately. Call it photo-fatigue, but I still hope the itch comes back. Maybe a new camera will help bring it back.

So recently I discovered my iPhone can shoot HD. So today, I made 3 test shots and these 3 were the results. I actually liked the non-HDR versions of all 3. They maybe less high-defined but the contrast is not contrived. I maybe wrong

MacLife writes how the HDR pics are taken:

The way the iPhone creates HDR images is by take three photos with different exposures. We’ll just call them dark, medium and light. It then crams these pictures together and pulls out the best exposed bits for the final picture.

HD or not, the only question that begs an answer is why am I shooting clouds when I’m not supposed to be thinking about clouds.

To compare HDR and Regular iPhone pics, see this slideshow. The first image is the HDR and the following image of the same picture is the regular resolution.

Another set of great clouds for the weekend. Clouds on the work week, clouds on the weekend. Life.

Was not gung-ho to get one. I was asking for something different and when the opportunity to own one came in the conversation and a unit was waiting for a new owner, I didn’t hesitate to grab one.

Email works like my Blackberry, my apps and music from my iPod Touch now have a new home. It tastes like chicken too.

14 countries, 68 78 major cities, in 3 continents. No its not the Amazing Race, its just me, my backpack and an untied shoelace!.

I’m sure we have at one time or another had taken a picture of our feet or shoes (while shopping perhaps). My collection is small from the past travels the past 8 years. See a slideshow of my feet collection.

Where’s yours?

Weekend is beckoning. The sun is peeping, it’s time to be out.
