Better Together.



Binge-posting? Double-post today to make up for September.

A weekend in Toronto for OMSW. An afternoon at the Toronto Zoo. A series of pictures with my Lumix DMC-FX7 again..















Toronto Zoo, Toronto, October 2007.






I'm not so good with words.


Better Together- Jack Johnson.

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together

Ottawa

And so I skipped.. a class.. a tutorial. Feels good! I think I should skip more while I still can. If it's not mandatory, that means it's optional. It's as simple as that, why make it complicated?

Been a while since I posted another entry. Perhaps it is because I want to keep that previous post current as long as possible. Perhaps I'm just lazy. Perhaps.. perhaps..
Where do we find inspiration?

The above pictures were taken with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7. Can't beat the portability of that slim camera. But yes, I do prefer the feel and capability of the Nikon D-50.. and on my first official, yet fairly uninspired photoshoot in Ottawa, these are my favourite shots below. My D-50's moment to shine:

A small park in downtown Ottawa, October 2007.



Couldn't help snapping a quick shot of what I saw there: a really free market! Interesting.

A lot of pictures of Ottawa.. and I'm sure there'll be many more to come in the upcoming years. Who could've predicted that my adventure through a viewfinder would wind up here?
