wooden walkway

This was the first time the sun came out after a few days of rain in Brisbane. Believe me this is much more preferrable to the searing heat of the Australian summer. The sky was quite overcast when I got to the Botanical Garden. As I reached the mangroves where these wooden walkways were, the sun suddenly shone. I was waiting for a little boy who was skate boarding to get into my picture, he on the other hand was waiting for me to take my picture of the walkway. Needless to say, I lost the waiting game. Digital monochrome.

flying a kite

After a long while, I once again gave street photography a try. Like the kid above who is trying to fly a kite but can't seem to get it to fly, I find street photography very frustrating. Either I am too shy or my subject are too shy. Add to the fact that I am inherently slow as such by the time I am ready the picture is already gone. Subjects in the street do will not wait when I am good and ready. Unfortunately my batting average is still quite low, of the 34 shots that I managed to take, I decided to keep half. Of these maybe only 10 hold some possibilities. However I will keep on trying. Who knows one day my kite may even fly. I will keep on working and hoping. Digital monochrome.

going home from blue moon

He was going home perhaps after a day of work or after meeting with friends. It is another weekend and I am looking forward to what it will bring.

I see nothing!

The kids were giving me a hard time when I was trying to take their pictures. But then I began to see the humor in what they were doing so I asked them to keep their hands on their faces. And they graciously complied. It was the middle of summer in Goldcoast, yet it was rainy and cloudy that day. I am now back in Bangkok where it is raining daily and my little friends are probably in school in Goldcoast enjoying their mild winter. I hope they are well.
