POLAR PLUNGE

 I can honestly say winter time is probably my most favorite season of the year. This is when the coldness in the air sweep against your face and you can feel the rush of refreshing against your skin. I think it's beautiful when the whiteness of nature spreads every where like a blanket. Yet it can get too cold sometimes and makes your mind feel frozen. Sometimes it can get so cold that someone's soul can go numb without feeling. But at the same time, the coldness could also be the time when someone retreat to their own world for a stable standing mind.

THANKSGIVING BARN

Thanksgiving is the day that we give thanks to everything and anything that we appreciate for. It's the time for family and friend reunion to look up at things that have happened so far and toast for a very good up coming year. The crops of Thanksgiving stand for the seeds and roots of fulfillness of food. Cooking at Thanksgiving is a long time tradition, food stands for life, they help us grow. Thanksgiving's cooking reminds us of how lucky we are to be able to obtain food everyday.

1000 STARS

This photo was inspired by the video music of Natalie Bassingthwaighte ~ 1000 Stars. Each one of us is a star, we have our own uniqueness and our own shine that nobody else can compare to. It is hard to find the light within on the dark night, but if you search deeply you will find it and let it shine. Even though we are individuals, but when we come together, we will be united as one and only one. And we all make up the entire universe with each of our uniqueness.

RISING MIGHT

 

In life, it's not easy to pick up yourself when you fall, it's even harder to rise above the ashes. From the bottom of a rock, to lift it up, it requires lots of strength. To overcome life is not an easy task, to overcome yourself is even harder. At the bottom of what you were stuck at, it takes lots of strength to rise yourself up from the unpleasant past. If you work hard, you will not only get out of the rough bottom but also rise up to the top, where you can find not only happiness, but who you are. Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart, but there is only one way, and it's UP! :)

LIVING DEAD

The spooky Spirit of Halloween is not only besides the living of the dead but also the dead of the living. It seems like the middle line becomes a blur when people cross the other side of the world. The two worlds blending together and makes such a master of art that you can not even realize which is which. This life is full of unexpected psychological traps. Once the brains of people go numb and shut down, even on their feet, they lose their souls and the only thing that they carry around is their soulless bodies and mindless heads. And sometimes, you might not know the one who stands next to you could be a zombie or a mummy, or who knows it could be you!?

MASKED SOULS

One of the fun things on Halloween is pumpkin carving. The tradition of carving a pumpkin started in Scotland and Ireland where it was traditionally carved from a turnip, and in England where a beet was used.The monstrous faces carved on the pumpkin represents the spirits or souls of the unknown. Like a mask, you see only what is outside, but not actually what is behind it. The connection between what we see and what we don't see is a blur, and this represents the unknown world.

MAGNETIC LIGHTS

This photo was inspired by the music videos of Jesse J ~ Laserlight and Ellie Goulding ~ Lights.As we know, lights are the main source of vision when you really need to look at something more clearly with more in depth details and meaning. Lights also play an important in expressing colorful emotions, such as the rainbow. The light spectrum branch into many varieties of colors and each color has its own meaning and emotion. Lights are lively, rainbow lights are vibrant, and the dark even makes it more attractive than ever.
