Losing it
Hicks, Swarthmore, PA

This is us. Midnight. In Hicks. We'd been working on the same concrete design problem all afternoon and all evening...

And we'd started the same problems over and over again. Which means lots of extra paper lying around. And a huge box of matches that someone produced from someone's cubby.

And we were beginning to lose it.

These are cell phone pictures, so no shutter speed/aperture. Sorry for the poor quality, guys!

B&W and a toddler as a subject gives such wonderful photographic opportunities. Try it sometime!=)

"Balancing Act"

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Aperture: f/1.7

Shutter Speed: 1/8s

Adjusting the White Balance to 'shade' goes well with the warm, yellow feel that emanates from the altar.

"The Last Ones Standing"
Melbourne, VIC

Aperture: f/1.7
Shutter Speed: 1/50s

Sorry for the predated pictures. I thought I'd share more of an insight into what we do when the exams come!

Anyway, this is the Design Lab in the Block D of the Engineering Building. It is open for use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Vast space and whiteboards are available.

Since extended hours (till 3am) end in the final week of exams (when most people except the unlucky few are done) I need a space to study.

Well here it is=]

"Dr. Martens"
Melbourne University, VIC

Aperture: f1/7
Shutter Speed: 1/125

So my exams ended on Thursday and I am here in Melbourne for a few more days. This boot belongs to Karen. She is part of the Overseas Christian Fellowship (OCF) and volunteers to give out coffee to exam goers every evening. Since the OCF organised a scavenger hunt on Friday, I decided to check it out.

Being born a Buddhist, I've always wondered what Christianity is like. I am not a practising Buddhist and much rather spectate than participate. Anyhow, chatting with the OCF members was an eye opening experience. It is so good getting a different perspective on religion and the people I met were all quite a jolly bunch!

One of the chaps called Nicky told me to read this book called 'The Lotus And The Cross" which presents a hypothetical conversation between the Lord Buddha, Jesus Christ and a girl called Priya.

The space between Christianity and Buddhism. I think it's a good space.

Sunset through a railing

Miami, FL

Chris and Gil look like statues here. We're chased the sunset around the island, then came home for the grand finale on my balcony. :)

I took some other really nice shots. This one isn't even my favourite - it just fit the theme the best. I'll put them up on facebook soon so you guys can see them.

Shutter: 1/2
Aperture: f/6.3
