Together til the End

They just want to be together til the end, probably til the end of time. Their love knows not time. When time stops and nothing is alive anymore, their love keeps them alive, because they believe in their love, their hope for things to be better, and their strong faith. When people say STOP or giving so many directions, they only become one and follow their own path. No matter how old they became, inside their spirits are still young and high. Because love keeps them alive. Forever.





Original images. I was really touched when I took these photographs of them. It's rare to find old couples who are still able to hold hands as casually as this; when nobody of their families they should act and fake their love, they still keep holding on to each other.

And again, I took pictures of them SECRETLY. This was at Golden Gate Park.

Waiting.


Sitting, waiting, wishing. (Jack Johnson)



That's the original image. IT'S SO HARD TO GET A GOOD NATURAL POSE OF A SWAN, DO YOU KNOW THAT? BECAUSE THEY KEEP SWIMMING AWAY FROM ME! Not from me, but, from humans, generally. It's taken at the lake at the Palace of Fine Arts.


Japantown, San Francisco


Doesn't the picture already said everything?
I don't need a caption, huh.

Summer Love... will it stay forever?

In the Summer, flowers bloom, Sun shines, birds sing, trees grow, and love grows too. But what will happen when summer ends? It will be time for the greatest battle of love, and love itself will determine whether it is worth fighting for it or not.



Here is the original image, taken at the Palace of Fine Arts. Hush, they are not freaking models, they are real couples and I took this picture SECRETLY. Actually, I cropped this image so that I really make them as the focal point of the picture. Now, it's following the rule-of-thirds, and it has the most contrast in color in the picture. Plus, they are humans. When us humans see this picture, we only want to see humans and humans alone, we egoistic beings. Especially love, what everyone dying for, or will die for.

Blue Skies and Red Strawberries


Super clear, blue skies at Golden Gate Park, never photoshopped. This photograph creates uber calmness and tranquility. This is an element of nature.



Super red, bunch of strawberries at Fishermen's Wharf. Photoshopped a little. Very great contrast of red. This photograph creates vigor and energy, and lots of motion and liveliness, as opposed to the blue skies. This is an element of life. The only bad thing about this photograph is just both my brother's and my own shadows -___-


Comparing photographs, huh? I just want to look at the skies forever when I look at the photograph, and I just want to squeeze every single strawberries and then munch them one by one when I look at the other photograph.

Hanging Cloth


Analysis of Form: Drapery project
If I am my instructor, I will give it a B. I hate the background lighting, I hate the right half of the drapery because it has as much contrast as the left half of the drapery so the right half should be lighter, and it is not very refined. So my conclusion is: I could have done better =(

Winnie the Pooh and friends


Analysis of Form: Still-Life project.
If I am my instructor, I will give it a B. I hate the pearls. I hate the proportions of our face. I hate the rendering of the cup. I hate the bottom cast shadow. So my conclusion is: I could've done better =(

Samoyed

It became one of my favorite breeds ever since I saw a tiny little one at a local park, I forgot where. One thing I think is not proportionate about my drawing is the eyes, and the left half of the dog's body is a little too wide. Yes, proportions is what I am worst at. But hey, it's just a sketch.
