en route to anywhere

I was quite busy during weekdays since I am now having two internships and taking 1 class. Summer life shouldn't be like that, so I just went to main street in Venice and MOCA in downtown Los Angeles during weekends.

Main street is pretty cool, with lots of cool stores (cafe..boutique..)on both sides of the street. I immediately thought of the georgetown in Washingtion D.C. I don't really like shopping mall; I like do shopping in those stores along the street. I didn't get a chance to walk around since my purpose of going to Venice was to enjoy the sunset and photograph it. But eventually I was so disappointed as the sun had gone away before I could reach the pacific coast. (I spent 15 mins on finding free parking lol..that's why).

On the next day I went to MOCA with my housemate miss kori wong, a museum-lover, green-tea-lover, and antioxidant-lover. According to our plan, we are going to visit at least one place per weekend. MOCA is our first destination. I did have expectation about the exhibitions and I did look forward to seeing some great modern art. But once again, I was disappointed. First, the museum is pretty small in size and there are only 5-7 exhibitions. Second, I was just not too interested in its collection. I just wondered why some of them were qualified as the collection of a museum. Perhaps I was just really not sophisticated enough to appreciate those works. Actually the exhibition of Robert Frank's "The Americans" photographs was pretty good. But I had seen it in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. already lol. Anyway we did have fun tho, by taking pics for each other. Here are two of my works:


This color style becomes my favorite one recently. I just edit the picture style in my camera and then use photoshop to adjust the saturation, lightness, contrast and color balance. Shooting great portrait is not an easy task, but I really wanna do well in shooting people. So...anyone is interested in being my model? haha

Currently I am working on the poster design for wcccc. I could say it's a quite challenging task. Let's see what I come up with at the end, which means THIS COMING FRIDAY lol

I remember a sentence that I said before: "WITHOUT HOPE, WITHOUT DISAPPOINTMENT". A friend of mine told me that she always had no expectation in her life so that she could always be happy.

I do always have expectations on many things.
