Distribution and layout. Contrasts.

Such a pity.
Loneliness is.
Was excited and alive.
Yet all crumbed down.
Once again.
Why won't anyone listen?
- because we're all busy.
With what?

Man corner everynight. Full Tatoos beat me up.
Coffeshop Guitarist. Wow!
Church temple mosque temple church.
Taximan and woman.
33 cars in wait. Out of place woman.
perpendicular 33 old houses and ghost! Dragon Slab!

24a Scrap yard and hokkien. Karaoke in silence.
28 street sleaze
24 squatters and night life. Hotel and homes. Single File. All races. Indians. Africans. Thai. Malaysian cars.Gambling. Blue/Red top.
Barber, walk up apartments. For sale.
Jigong!

Pimp it up dress code.
Street walkers, freelancers and pros.
Pecs why not not otherwise?
Army Brudder!
Price Range.
VCD DVD
Ugly.
trans. Sari. Jeans. Old.
Huay Kuans and pugilistic clan associations.
Altars at every counter.

I can understand.
Why.
Simple.
Life is.

Keep on Walking

Walking gets you places.
Gets you numb while in transit.
From place to place.
Day by day.
Activity to Activity.

Yet,
if your legs leads you along aimlessly.
Just let it go.
It refreshes the mind.
Takes away your burden of choice.
You can ponder as your eyes wonder.
Of the stories of life.
Yours and those whose existence
whom you otherwise would have never acknowledged.
intertwined possibly in some obscure way.
Mysterious yet familiar.
Makes you feel alive.

Life is like Photography

Focus, Exposure, Color, contrasts and noise.
Life is like photography.

Get a clear focus --> otherwise all will be a blur.
Get the correct exposure. --> In order to reproduce/create the correct representation of what's truly out there.
Ensure contrasts --> so that it will not be monotonous
Reduce noise --> no distractions.

But then again, photography is an art.
out of focus shots, incorrect exposure, lack of contrasts, lots of grain and noise if used purposefully, can create a beautiful picture too!

To pen down every thought, inspiration.
And especially experience.
Like the Spatial Conference I attended.
The old guard IS dying.
Soon there will no longer be any records.
