Faces of Sapa Series: The Blue Girl of Sapa Fields

this photo is taken on the first day of the trek when it started raining even before we began. it did dampened my spirit a little that i would not see the padi terrace of Sapa mountains on a bright sunny day. our wet weather contingency for photography was ziploc bags but even so, i seldom risked my camera for any shots. when i met this girl & her brother, the rain has slowed to a drizzle momentarily. they seemed to be watching the elder family members working in the fields. i think i took the shot from afar with my kit lens through the ziploc opening. unfortunately, i did not have any interaction with the girl, except the brief moments of eye contact when i took her pictures. to be honest, i did not think i could get close to her without slipping or rolling over, even if she would stay put. at that point of time, i was still getting accustomed to walking in the padi terraces, and feeling so clumsy in the slippery soft mud pond.

Faces of Sapa Series: The H'mong Elder in Ta Van

We did a one-night home stay in Ta Van village. the next morning, we woke up early and met her on her way to the fields. She made a deep impression on me because she kept trying to tell us something but we could not understand. it was not about photo money, i can tell if she wanted money. out of respect, we stood listening, waiting for her to give up. and i thought of the ones back home i used to be close. how we merely share a common language now but no longer an understanding. i noticed her patient and calm smile as she continued trying. how strange how long i have not anyone wanting so much to communicate. i almost thought there is something i can recover but my heart was too clouded.

Faces of Sapa Series: In His Rightful Place on this Earth

This is one of those photos i had in mind, even before setting out for the trip. A man seen in peace with his place on this earth. i never had a good one. this is not the ideal one. perhaps i may have wanted my dream shot so bad that led me into believing he is happy where he is. In the city i am living, i have known many who longed to be somewhere else. why do people always want to be somewhere else instead? maybe in some ways, we just want to believe such a place exists where only we can find peace. even when sometimes, we are made to seek hard and journey afar for this place; yet other times, it may just be wherever you are, where you start to make peace with. & i always thought i would know better.

[Link] | 突然觉得空虚落寞. 这些年来, 我看起来都没有变, 不断的渴望, 不断的失去, 总是想去新的地方, 最后还是只身一人. 我不敢去争取最想要的东西, 因为我怕输掉吗? 但我已然是个失败者了.

... ... 保重, 快乐!

该做的时候就去做, 迟了做再多, 不过只是自己无法释怀, 寻求安慰, 空无意义。
不过, 我想我也只能这样了。
... ... 保重, 快乐!

yes, the title is a homage to the song 闪亮的日子 by 刘文正 and written by 罗大佑
我来唱一首歌 古老的那首歌 我轻轻地唱 你慢慢地和 是否你还记得过去的梦想 那充满希望灿烂的岁月 你我为了理想 历尽了艰苦 我们曾经哭泣 也曾共同欢笑 但愿你会记得 永远地记得 我们曾经拥有 闪亮的日子

防.空洞 薛淑燕

单人房/防.空洞
防空洞 能不能抵防空洞? 风雨飘摇的世界里 谁又能永远做一朵无忧无虑的小花 人生总该有些非做不可和绝不可为的事 我不愿这样看着自己 渐渐可有可无的梦 埋葬在左胸口 一个爱也填不满的地方

& this will be the last of the series. work is so mundane and milking the last bit of my inspiration every working day. this explains the lack of photo update here.
