What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of ‘Spring’? I recall those movies with pretty sunshine. Shunji Iwai’s [Hana & Alice], Naoto Kumazawa’s [Rainbow Song], Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s [Collage Of Our Life] are a few examples. The amiable rays of sunshine seemed to kinder up my heart and I felt happy all along while I was watching the movie. So I searched for pictures with that kind of sunshine this time. There were a lot of pictures out there, but when this particular picture took my breath away. What do you think? Are you having trouble… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. I’m staring at the clock right now because it’s ten minutes before leaving the office. “I should finish the work before I leave. No! I should do my hair today. No! Think about the opportunity cost for changing hair style. I have to spend the remaining week in pain, don’t I? If so, then what is the opportunity cost for working overtime? I have to come to work tomorrow with Metallica hair style again. Then which is better? Working overtime? Or running off to the salon?” Five minutes have already passed and the clock is pointing at 5:55. I’m standing at a crossroads. Which choice would you make? Most people would choose between the two… [More]

Hey, this is Nadia. Guys, it’s already winter; the time of cold noses and cravings for hot tea. What do you want to do in winter? Sleeping at home? Or skiing? I don’t really like sleeping or winter sports. I just want to hug those that I come across on the streets. Jumping high walls at once showing of its plump curves and the owner of fur pattern that makes all the tattoos look shabby; cats. Of course puppies are cute, but I like cats better. So this time, I chose cats as the topic. Isn’t he adorable? This graceful cat reading silently is BeiBei. He is the pet of Jimmy Leo, a photographer working as Babykailan on Flickr. He is als… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. Do you remember the last post? It was about Jan Vormann who repairs buildings with traces of bullets from World War 2 with Lego. A manifesto that started with the goal of looking back at the war so that it doesn’t repeat. A trip for such meaningful work is certainly necessary. But I’m in desperate need of a trip where I can just leave with no specific plan in mind. Do you want to jump out of your seat and embark on a real adventure right now? If you no longer find role playing games on the web and internet surfing exciting, then let’s schedule an itinerary looking at Doug Murray’s pictures. It’s time to close your eyes… [More]

Hi, this is Nadia. It’s already autum! It’s getting chilly during the mornigs and evenings and the season of disappearance is on its way. I wonder if you start feeling lonely at times like this. As for me, I don’t really get lonely but I just want to get away somewhere. It’s because I love the butterflies that fly around in my stomach while I plan and prepare for a trip. Also, it’s because I know it’s time to look back at myself as the trees pass by outside the windows. Do you have any reflections to make or mistakes that you have to look back at and redo? Then try doing it like Jan Vormann. It’s an old, worn down building. This is Berlin. Maybe a child passing by played with Lego… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. It’s fall now. What do you think about when the hot sticky summer is over and the fall approaches? Some may find fall leaves one feeling lonelier than any other time, while others may be too caught up planning the next trip. Whereas for me, I get more curious about my body because the skin gets drier and I tend to eat a lot more and feel a lot sleepier than summer. Is our body saving up nutrition to prepare for the approaching season of? Or is our exhausted body that lasted during the summer relaxing according to the proper body temperature? Of course, this may be something trivial that you can neglect without giving much thought… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. The breeze in the morning and night have turned much cooler these days. I guess autumn is already approaching. The sky is higher and bluer than before. But the sun in the afternoon is stronger. You should pay attention to your health when there is a big difference in temperature between day and night. I have a lot of friends who are sick. Mainly the cause is air conditioning and summer flu. When I look at my sick friends, I run out of steam as well. I hope they recover soon. The artist who I’m going to introduce today has friends that never get sick or old. Well, may the artist won’t agree with me. If you spend everyday together… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. It’s getting hotter by the day. Is it also hot where you are? I went on vacation in the beginning of August, but it kept raining so I didn’t have much fun. But if you are leaving for your vacation now, I guess you can have fun in the water under the sizzling sun. For those going on vacation this week, hope you have fun! How will it be if everyday were to be a vacation? Of course not the boring vacation where you have nothing to do but the fun-filled vacation with new events happening everyday. The first thing I need to do is to get away from the air-conditioners and overheated computers which I’ve had enough of. A dreamy vacation…. [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. It’s been a while since the last post. Is it because of global warming? My body keeps sinking amidst the rising temperature of peak summer. I feel like my ambition for life has halved. So would you be convinced if I say that this was the reason why this post is late? Or do you think it’s just an excuse? Well, it actually is an excuse. I’ll try and make an effort from now on. Look forward to a more diligent Nadia! One question before introducing today’s artist. Do you have the air conditioner on right now? Or did you just come back from driving your car? Of course we have the right to enjoy the convenience that civilization has to offer. But if we keep on destroying… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. As I’ve mentioned on the last post, I’m going to introduce Jose Maria Cuellar today. I’ve also found Jose in Flickr, a website that specializes in photography. In fact, Jose is pretty famous in Flick. Jose lives in Madrid, the capital city of Spain, and works at a telecommunications company, which means that he is not a professional photographer. But Jose’s photographs have the power to make you fall into imagination. The vivid and magnificent looks of nature reminds you of Greek mythology, and the old yet splendid photographs of doors make you want to ring the doorbell. Whether it’s the scenery, portraits or still life… [More]

Hello. This is Nadia. What do you think about the notion of “time goes by”? Do you hink that everything turns old and ugly as time goes by? Or do you think things become more down-to-earth and gentle? Both the former and latter is correct, but until now, I was on the former side. Nothing is eternal. You can’t turn back the time nor hold on to it. But I have found an artist who enjoys the flow and captures the natural colors and moments in the photo. Today’s posting will be on Hans Proppe. This is he. His generous yet confident facial expression seems to express his passion for work. The picture on the right is when he won the Emmy Awards… [More]
