红色

Maybe by muting all colours except one, we will see things a bit differently...

Xuzhou, China

I placed a little dandelion in front of the sun so that it glows!

A photoshoot of cake sprinkles and two little Matryoshka  =)

Stayed home today and did not do anything productive in terms of academic work! Instead, I had a nice day finishing a historical fiction novel, watching a French movie (Tous les matins du monde), baking a cake, and doing this macro photoshoot!

With a tripod, I took advantage of the morning sunlight and took these photos by the bedroom window.

San Jose, CA

smile like the sun!

And who is this cute model? My friend Fanyi! She came to visit Prague and me this weekend =)

circley joys

Blowing bubbles with a friend on a sunny day by the lake!

Many many bubbles! =)

Location: Tabor, Czech Republic

bubbly bokehs

When bubbles blur in a picture, they turn out like this =) 

I'm happy I finally got to blow bubbles today!! 

warmth

Tonight, I lit up all these candles in my room.

Some source of warmth on this cold gray day.

Nadia blue

Spent a nice day at my co-worker Nadia's house which is situated in a village right outside of Prague. I went there with four of my Czech co-workers and had a really good time there! We spent the day outside relaxing, eating and doing some woodwork. Nadia's favourite colour is blue and there was blue everywhere inside and around her house, thus inspiring me to make this post a blue-themed one!

fire sparkles

Thursday night - how I amuse myself with a tripod, a camera and a sparkler.

Right outside my house.

balloon bath

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while! Just got a tripod today for $17 and surely put it to good use, hehe!

une fée

a fairy

Magical effects created by making little waves in the pool and playing with the reflection of the sunlight.

( If you make tiny bubbles on the surface of the water, they will appear like golden sparkles in the water! ;) )

Patrick: "Yay! Krabby patties!"

Got these mini burgers at a local Asian supermarket nearby my house. They're not actually burgers; they're biscuits with chocolate spread inside. They're probably the size of a penny.
So tiny and cute - perfect for my little pink starfish! Haha!

I'm going to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. I'm very excited because it's a beautiful place so there will be lots of opportunities for good shots. We are going to eat hot pot tomorrow night and I'm going to ride a jet boat!  I also got a set of filters that I look forward to try out.
It will be fun! Hope there will be lots of sunshine too.

I spent my afternoon on Youtube watching videos from WongFu Production. Haven't seen their stuff in ages and now they have gotten so professionally good. I was very impressed!

my video

I spent the past two days making a video which I called "Magic Hands". It was lots of fun to make, though very time-consuming, especially when it comes to the editing part! Overall, I am quite satisfied with my work and this is probably my first legit video (and hopefully not my last!). I realized that I really enjoy creating things and turning ideas into reality.

Note: unforunately the video cannot be viewed in all countries due to some copyright issues with my background music.

An attempt at self portrait!
