Relaxing Day~

I don't known since when bicycle become so popular in Taipei. Every scenic spot is full of bicycles. Riding bicylce is cool, but the government didn't have enough capacity for bicycle riders. Many riders, therefore, would ride on the pedestrian which is supposed to be walked. Although the speed of bicycle is not fast, it's still scary. I don't like it.

DaZhi Bridge~

When I learned dance, my mentor always told me that music is tho most important element of dance. If I listened music frequently, then my body will automatically beat the right tempo. This theory also goes well in photography. See as many good pictures as you can, then you will be more easily to have a prototype in your mind before you shot. Try to intimate master pieces is the easiest way to grow up. However, the theory failed this time. I had seen many beautiful pictures before I went there. I did have a prototype of the bridge in my mind, but I just can't find the right position.

HAHA~ you can never expect what will show on your screen. Maybe that's why photography is so interesting.

I didn't bring my tripod, so every pictures I took that night was under exposure. This decision made the image quality become terrible, especially when I tried to increase the exposure amount in my computer. It was a huge work of post adjustment. T_T

LV - Monogram Style

Louis Vutton is a very popular brand in the world, especially in Asia. No matter people in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan or Japan, everyone is crazy about owning one LV. Some Japanese teenagers even spend their monthly salary and line up for several days in order to buy one limited version. These phenomenon are crazy, but real.

Not until you buy a LV, you can understand why it worth so much money and attention. Their delicacy is showed in every details of the product, even it is from the first impression of the case.

In Taiwan or China, the forgery LV are very popular and easy to buy. The officials, therefore, will give you a certification of LV to prove its authentic, whenever you buy from the official branch store.

The bag is carefully put in the case which containing 4 layers of packing. One of which is a preserving bag with a big LV mark using the canvas material.

The size of this bag is not big, however, I can still put many things into it. Inside of this bag is simple and no partition.

From the side view of this bag, you will find that the stitch and zipper are exquisite and beautiful. LV attaches a locker with a unique number for you. If you miss the locker accidentally, you can apply for a new locker with original number. It's cool.

Conclusion:
LV is exquisite and delicate. No wander so many people are fascinated of it. Comparing it with a forgery one, I can easily distinguish the difference of quality. The smell and touching feeling of leather are different. Besides, the stitch works of real one is much better than the forgery version. Although the authentic LV is so attracting, the price is too high for normal people to afford.

The Balance of Life~

Happy birthday to Jo!
It's good to have you all~~

Recently, I heard two bad news about my dad's friend. Both of these stories have one common point - HEALTH. Both of them are young, passionate, nice and very successful in business. However, these two successful young man were diagnosed that they don't have much time to live. One of them is declared to have an incurable disease, Spinocerebellar Ataxia, and the other one is having a serious liver cancer. I can feel how sad my dad is at this moment, but I am not able to describe my astonishment and sadness about these two news as well as the unpredictable life.

In Chinese, we always say "the bad things go along with good things", which means you can not always have the advantage. In religion, we believe that if you're too fortunate in your life, there must be some unpredictable bad things wait for you. In a more explainable way, if you were very dedicate to your job, then the possible outcome would be making a great fortune, but not surprised about losing health or family relationship.

Which outcome do you prefer more? Hope that everyone can find a balance between work and private life.

Cherishing your friends and family. God bless everyone!

Taipei - Riverside Park

Keelung river is the biggest river across Taipei City. It was smelly and polluted, containing all the dirty things from the drain system of the city. After a decades of improvement, the riverside becomes the most popular recreating place for sports such as basketball, soccer and bicycle. There is a comfortable and flat 12km bicycle line along the river. Besides this park also provide a perfect place for citizens to walk their dogs. You can see many rare and expensive species of dogs running in the wide green grass.

These pictures were taken in the early May. Since I came back from Mainland China and processed more than 1,000 photos, I have been a little sick of dealing with new photos. Therefore, I remained all the pictures in my CF card and didn't even attempt to store them. Although I was not interested in processing my own pictures, I was diligent to improve my Photoshop skill. If you are interested in what I did, you can check my WOW blog link in the right hand.
