Where will this message go?

Every girl has a little fairy tale about herself.

PS：我在Japanese Garden找到荷花了，是荷花不是莲花！

It may not be the best job in the world, it’s definitely one of the sweetest jobs.

Czechoslovakia was declared independent on 28^th October 1918 at Wenceslas Square.

今天得知这个消息，我没用过这种胶卷，准确的说我没用过任何E-14 processing slides，所以也谈不上遗憾和惋惜。还是更加喜欢E-6的那些正片，如E100VS。不过这到底是胶片自然的新陈代谢，还是全面退潮的又一步呢？我还是希望是前者。

NG的Steve McCurry正在ACM搞一个小型的展览，有兴趣的朋友可以在去看康熙大帝展时顺便看看。下面左边这张Steve成名之作Afghan Girl就是用Kodachrome 100拍的，右边是18年之后用Nikon DSLR拍的，岁月呀～

Which direction to go when a youngest  broke out of the frame? To all who have experienced this stage.

Drunk me with all the greenery.

History is moving.

You bring the sunshine to the world.

Great music never fade out.

Summer is ringing the door.

Paradise Garden, Prague Castle

PS: Barca GO! Henry GO! Messi GO! Don’t let the history 10 years ago repeat tonight!

You cannot contain the beauty within the borders, can you?

It is a pretty garden, by any standard. It is, unfortunately, an ice beauty to the outsiders. This is the Polish Embassy in Prague. Let the chairs talk to themselves.

What is a typical Prague? History, architecture, music, literature, spy, politics… So much so that you are getting yourself confused to define the beauty of this city. Yes, it is still a city, a place where modern, not just medieval or cold war period, people live for generations.

This scene cannot be any more common in a day-to-day urban life. A working lady, with suitcase in one hand and lunch box in the other, passed by me and walked like breeze towards a Metro station. It was more of subconscious than carefully thinking through, I took out the camera, and made three continuous shoots for her. Until I reviewed them on the LCD, I just realised that I even adjusted exposure to –2EV before shooting. What a lightening action!

一个男生，喜欢买（步行）鞋和（帆布）包，听上去还蛮BT，不过我就有这么一个怪癖。唯一值得庆幸的是，我还算冷静，衡量了一下众多烧钱的爱好，最终决定这个爱好只过眼瘾。

在欧洲的日子里，除了museum和cathedral，另一个我经过必进的就是球鞋店了。那里很多限量版的步行鞋款式在亚洲估计也就东京和香港有的买，新加坡这么土的地方是决计没有的。嘻哈风的，涂鸦风的，经典色，纪念色，几乎每家店都让我迈不开步子。而且最可恶的是adidas, nike, puma和asics这些出步行鞋的厂家针对每个国家都有customised design，害得我每去一个地方都有惊喜。想起天涯一句经典的话：“等我有钱了，进店之后跟售货员说，这个，这个，这个，还有那个不要，其他的都打包。”

盼星星盼月亮，终于穿坏了一双步行鞋，迫不及待地跑去NB的warehouse，一眼就看中了这双2007年款的576经典步行鞋Tartan Check红色版。虽然离圣诞节还有一个月，我就当是提前的圣诞礼物乐。

就是这个Tartan Check花纹，一下子吸引了我，而且两只鞋的花纹并不是mirror image，看上去更加随性。

鞋跟是金色，搭配上红色字，这么elegant的design，我怎么能抑制住掏钱的欲望呢？最喜欢这个角度看鞋了，看着跟一艘战船！

再看看细节，苏格兰格和金色鞋跟的搭配。

再看看整体。

NB576，576真NB！

唯一的问题是，这双鞋不是很合脚（汗，太视觉系了，不合脚的鞋我都买了）。这双是窄款的D，而不是标准的2E。也不是我的US 10.5脚码，是US 11的。不过这种鞋子一个星期最多穿一次，不合脚也就认了。

最近把自己的两条腿当成大熊猫来照顾了，白天办公室里按摩，晚上家里泡脚。隔天一个10000米的训练量，怎能亏待了。老板问我，你不觉得marathon有点push yourself to extreme吗？我说在runners forum里面full marathon是最moderate的运动了，那里只有sub3和ultra-marathon才算extreme。

PS：哪天有空再晒晒我那一堆帆布包吧。

在这个只有夏天的小岛上，冬天是一件“看上去很美”的东东。

今年的秋天，我们收获了什么？
