We Are in This Together - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Sometimes, we can feel so alone in a world that looks like a deserted land. That feeling has probably become more prevalent/frequent for many in the last 9 months.

You look left, cricket.

You reach right, nothing.

And you turn around and take a gander. Whoa, you’ve got them, a whole army of them! Whether or not you asked for them, they are there, and they’ve always been there.

Consider yourself lucky. At least you are not accompanied by one of those invisible trolls that played a prank on me in Iceland. :-)

Alright, in all seriousness, as the saying goes, we are on the same boat. So, rest assured, no one is alone.

The question is though, how do I make the army disappear when I’m done and need my “alone time”?

… …

Never mind. This morning’s coffee makes me talk funny. I’ll step off my soap box.

Speaking of box, how many Amazon boxes have you got in the last week? ;-)

Oh, wow! - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Although I’ve experienced sudden loss of family member (and I wrote about it in my year-end post), the abrupt passing of Kobe Bryant still took me, and many others of the world, off-guard. While I am deeply saddened by the loss of many young lives that perished in the accident, I wonder what the new world that they enter look like.

Some say it’s a paradise. And people are happy there. It’s said that they will be greeted by their loved ones that’s already been there. I wonder if there are colors and whether it’s cold or warm.

Lately, I learned that Steve Job’s last words in this world are “Oh, wow!” “Oh, wow!” “Oh, wow!” I bet it’s a beautiful world that he saw. Rest in peace and have a (basket)ball up there, Kobe, Gianna, and your friends that went with you!

Snow Birds Bring Good Luck - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Out of all the possible dates/seasons, we headed into Yellowstone National Park when the biggest snow storm of decades descended in the area. For such reason, nothing ordinary remains that way anymore. To us, it means much more room on the canvas to flex our creative muscles.

While at Canary Spring, my favorite elements were there for me to play with - the snow, the geothermal features, and… And, it must be our lucky day. On the day when the temperatures plummeted deep down in the negative zone, complicated by heavy snow fall which allows close to zero visibility, we met a small bird. This encounter reminds me of a time almost one year ago in Japan, when birds and snow brought me such joy and, consequently, much luck in an international photography contest. I now understand why yuki* (Japanese for snow 雪 ) has a special place in Japanese people’s hearts.

As to the bird’s name? My first impression when I heard was that it’s such a serious name. And for me, serious and creative do not co-exist very well. By the time I was done creating, I forgot the name. Now, I feel lucky, but guilty. :P

* Yuki (幸) also has the meaning of happiness.
