"The Creation of Adam"
Aperture: f/6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/6s
So Darell really had me in a corner with this theme! This is my rendition of 'The Creation of Adam' by Michelangelo. You may notice it is lacking the muscular bodies of Adam and God. I decided not to put them up so that we don't have to make this an MA 18+ blog.
The anatomy book is courtesy of my housemate. In case you are every bit that interested in the anatomy of a finger, refer to "Atlas of Human Anatomy" by Frank H. Netter, M.D. (Third Edition).

Its pronounced "conk" by the people there, and six years ago I dove into the sea to get it, off the shore of a small island in the Bahamas called Bimini. Wikipedia tells me that the island is seven miles long and 700 feet wide. It is one of the many random things my siblings and I have collected over the years and left in our home here, including a massive seashell and seaglass collection, lots of old photographs, old VCRs and clothes from many years go.
I think its because we spend less time here, that we don't ever throw anything out. All of it has now become sentimental. My shelf is a hodgepodge of things I collected growing up, an old wind-up music box that plays The Music Box Dancer, a stack of TeenPeople magazines, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and Simone de Beauvoir's The Mandarins from my existentialism phase. Next to the Little House on the Prairie and Raymond E. Feist fantasy books are old yearbooks, a BEAT book, a book on Tadao Ando and Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends. There are a pair of stuffed cats from when my brother and I were four, all the stuffed animals every boyfriend ever gave me, and stuffed bears I got on Valentine's Day my senior year of high school. There are pictures of Christina, Elena and me at prom, a Venetian mask from my visit to Gil in Italy two years ago, and a 101 dalmations clock that stopped working about 6 years ago. On jet lagged nights we'd watch the time tick to 5 in the morning as we drifted off to sleep.
Oh, and how could I forget - my straw cowboy hat. :)
In terms of personal treasures, this room has more of me in it than any other room I've ever lived in.

"tongue-tied."
bedroom.
note: super-hyper editing has been done
to make my skin less gross.
1. darell's theme is crazy.
and impossible: i have no visible muscles.
2. tongue=strongest muscle=fact/fiction?
3. last day at home!
4. ahhh!
5. this photo is not meant to provoke,
though...the tongue is very provocative,
isn't it?
don't stare at it for too long.

June: Awesome picture. I am struggling to think of something to take that will reflect this mad theme. And I await Darell's one too. Eagerly.
existentialism as a phase?
:(
that makes me sad.
haha, darell's given us all a difficult subject matter.
like June you have no visible muscles jian? =P haha, and nice one Jing.
Jing: That is a crazy good picture Jing. The colours are amazinggggggg. It almost looks microscopic.
June: Isn't it the norm that we put up the orignal unedited pictures to see how photo editing changes things?;) Hehe. I'm sure the original ain't that bad!
Christina: Yeap I have no visible muscles!
June: Well no, I still love it. But there was a time when that was ALLL I read. :) Dude, you're so provocative.
I actually realllyyy liked the subject matter! There are so many things around that look like human muscles.
Jian: Thanks! Hahah that's a really cute interpretation of the theme. Yeah, I think I agree with the PG18 thing though. ;) If you liked the colours here, I wish you could see it in full res! Hahah maybe I will start uploading things to flickr too. :)
I can't wait to see Darell's own interpretation either.
i don't actually like reading anymore, i've discovered, which is a very sad, sad thing to realize.
i love the loose interpretation of the theme,jing. very pun/ctum-like. was yours edited? it looks a pale purple on my screen.
jian, your photo reminded me of an arrested development episode just now.
also, the editing was officially declared mandatory by my superego, since my tongue looked kind of gross already, i didn't want to have to gross out the viewers with an up-close shot of my pores and overall yuckiness.
i do all things with your best interest in mind
:D
darelllllllllll, we're waiiiiiiiiiiiitinggg...
