ORANGE ATTACK !

day 40 - bearbrick series 13 orange attack !!

check out this lean mean oranage machine

i might have put all my orange flavored vita gummies to waste

but i had to experiment the visual effects of it.

:)

but

lil red ridin' hood ...

day 39 - lil red ridin' hood ....

in their series 13 release

be@rbrick made lil red ridin' hood sexier than ever...

i think all my shots come on a whim.

i wanted to put her dashing through a fields of green her size

but that was impossible.

so i had her petting my cactus plant :)

rawrrrr ...!

day 38 - iELEPHANT ! be@rbrick series 13

i find this photo to be quite cute actually.

i took a bunch of pebbles from my bamboo plant

and tossed it around my be@rbrick.

and voila ~

you have an elephant resurrecting from the ruins !

dunk it in water !

day 37 - england almost under water be@rbrick series 13

england definitely aint under water like greece

...thank goodness !!

head above water england !

playing with objects & be@rbricks

day 36 - be@rbrick wood wood jammin' w the ipod

medicom collaborated with wood wood,

a european line to produce our lil wood wood be@rbrick.

this was by midnight and i was drained of ideas.

so i put him jammin' w/ my ipod and headphones.

im not exactly pleased, but it will just have to do.

day 35 - a 'pair' of pandas, milk and tea. wwf x medicom

these are one of my faves.

i got these babies about 3 or 4 year ago from my BFF.

i have kept them stashed in their individual boxes.

but when i got my TOMs this weekend,

i thought it would make great art if i played w/ the 'pair' concept :)

day 34 - be@rbrick series 10

i never thought someone else's trash can become my art.

the wooden box came w/ a box of 2 yr old expired box of chocolate.

my coworker thought it would make great art for my bearbrick.

looking at the outcome,

i couldnt agree more :)

februrary be@rbricks

the material of this be@rbrick is not the usual vinyl used.

if you look closely, you can see the difference in texture, but in case you can't, its felt. :)

this definitely is more unique for the usual vinyl toy; however, the shortcoming of felt is its ability to pick up lint. again, this is reflected in the photo. :)

day 33 - cute be@rbrick series 10

this shot came almost unplanned as do almost all my photos.

this was a difficult be@rbrick to begin with as he only contained 2 colors.

Black to begin with does not really stand out, nor does white.

I didnt want the color to be dulled out.

so i finally decided to use a little flash light to highlight the top part of the head

and the bottom part of the feet.

everything in between just flushes right into the black background.

shooting his series 10 pattern be@rbrick was like shooting a scoop of rainbow ice cream

it contains alot of bright colors which can be a little distracting.

so i wanted to only highlight its best features it.

day 32 - death by design be@rbrick series 10

be@rbrick all month long ...

my obsession with be@rbricks has led to this project

i may have challenged myself to a project greater than myself.

but this concludes the first 31 days of my be@rbrick photo mania ...

a photo a day seems to be a bigger project

than i had originally projected

new lighting, positions, etc on a daily basis

has to be constant,

but the outcome and the satisfaction is remarkable

life

life is all about perspective

all about attitude

adjust your lens

change the lighting

or remove the subject

your cup can be half empty

or half full

its all up to you

my morning starts like this ...

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDcxNDc5NTY=.html

heart warming

nothing warms my heart

like an old familiar song

nothings gonna change my love for you

china

audi, mercedes, bentley, and ferrari...

gucci, prada, tiffanys, and louis vuitton...

china and her hunger for progression

has become a stranger to me.

i took over 2000 pictures this time

i wanted to preserve as much as i could.

i only wanted to remember china.

china and her purity.

journeying

5 yrs later - i never thought my feet

would take me back to this land

where so much sorrow

so much joy

so much laughter

so much tears

so much hate

and so much love

was conceived.
