Sunday was Wesak day, and as expected, I was at a temple with my camera. The shots I took were less than satisfactory, but regardless, here they are

and what are you going to do about it?

[chinpokomon]

nothing =p if I had gone to Thai temples more often, I'd say I'll stop going.. but the truth is that I don't, so I'm just being whiny here

Nice stuff. But I think the angle of shooting perhaps need to be a bit more unconventional.

Hmmm do i make sense?> lol

[chinpokomon]

I know what you mean, but it was rather impossible... it doesn't show in the pictures, but that place was teeming with ppl... meh =p

I'm trying to do subtle but nice stuff, u know what I mean? Looks like I've got a looooooong way to go

I guess the biggest challenge in taking photo is capturing the right angle. And given your situation in that crowded place, it gets even harder.

I definitely can't be a photographer, I damn shy!

[chinpokomon]

eh, me too.. that's why I prefer taking non-people pix cuz they dun stare back at u one kind =P

U know we are doomed when road side offering are in strofoam containers!

This is a true story (duh),

One day as i was driving i saw the usual offering offered by the side of the road nicely placed in styrofoam containers.. And i couldnt help but wonder... about the light bulbs fashioned to look like candles, the prepackaged offerings i seen at some prayer shops and the neon colors used to paint giant dragon joss sticks! I've never seen a dragon.. but im sure it aint florescent pink and lime green... not to mention the ORANGE... im sure all the other dragons would laugh....

Next people will be selling buddhist rosary beads as a fashion accessory (got my set) and miniature temples to take back as souvenirs (have a set of those too!)... but its ok...
