I just realized that October will be closing its door soon. This might not be the most profound observation but the year is ending and boy, what a year it has been so far.
I have also realized that I have a bucketful worth of photos stored in my hard drive, unshared, sitting there alone and I like many of them. Given that I do not have time to write thoughtfully, these photos are good to fill the space just to keep this blog active. I will be done with school in less than 4 weeks. After that, I will be back with a vengeance.
In the meantime, enjoy the meek me and my photos.
These are war medals hung in Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance. I shot this the first time I visited the city earlier in January.

I love alleys like this.

[2264] Of how I see the world
I am unbelievably busy at the moment and I do not have much time to write properly. But I have tons of lame pictures that I snapped while catching my breath before rushing to places yet again. No rest for the wicked, so they say.
I need to update this blog regardless. If there is something that I would like to keep constant in my life, it is this blog. It has to be updated no matter what.
That is exactly how I see the world, literally.
This was taken in a library that supposedly has the largest collection in the southern hemisphere. But I have been to larger libraries with larger collection more ornately designed (guess one of them; here is a hint: it is the former home of JSTOR). So, I am not easily impressed.
Nevertheless, it is larger than my collection and it is comfortable. That is why it is one of my favorite spots here at school.

[2262] Of my god, it’s full of stars
Nine months after my first visit to the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, I found myself there again dead in the middle of the night. That has to tell you something about how I love war memorials.
What I like most about this picture is the stars. The small size of the picture does not do justice to the stars. I am working on that. I hope that some time in the near future, I will find a new template that I like that will allow me to post larger photos without messing everything up.
About that stars, I have never actually managed, or thought of, capturing them. I did not know it was possible with my camera and lens, until that night. The craziest thing is that I could not see most of the stars with my naked eyes when I was standing there doing 30-second exposures for nearly an hour.
Maybe, that says more about my vision than about my camera’s capability. Oh well…
