huey brought this photographer, Steven Yee, to my attention. apparently, he's Singapore's best photographer? or so she said.
http://www.fotopassion.com/index.htmwww.discovernikon.comand i have looked through his pictures, some of them are hauntingly beautiful and poignant. but i dont know why, perhaps its due to the influence of reading Barthes'
Camera Lucida, where i wish for the
originality of the photo. what i mean by that is, the photo as it was taken, without any editing, with its true essence. no photoshopping. too bad this guy uses too much, and its too obvious. nah. i am impressed, but not delighted. i guess after looking at the pics, i know he can use photoshop very well. hahaha..
some of them here:
anyway, this thought occurred to me quite some time ago..
that people all around the world are searching for love, a love that can satisfy the hole in their hearts and lives. and they dont know where to find it, they look vainly for it in
eros love. but because its not what they are searching for, they get burned. you tell these people about the love of God, they cant believe. why? because to them, (to us),
we just cannot conceptualize what perfect love is, and
we cannot believe anymore that such a love does, in fact, exist.
every day is a new day ♥
