The Dark Years

Do people reflect their emotions in the pictures they took? When you are in love, do you see a world full of love? When you are depressed, does the world look blue in your eyes? When the heart beats serenely, do you see a lake with no ripple or a blue sky with the cloud stays still?

A lot of time, when I reflect on the moment I see the world through the view finder, it seems like that my emotion is always involved in the frame.

Or maybe I am just making this up.

Pardon the wood

Dad once said: if you want to take a good picture of your mom, don't say cheese. I kind of expanding this rule to everyone (including strangers...haha).

I like this picture of mom a lot, including the wood. Well, things usually can't be perfect. That's life. Without that something on the wood, mom won't smile so naturally. Let's just pardon the wood, and look at the bright smile.

It was taken in Great Fall, VA. last summer. We were enjoying a hiking trip.

Cherry Blossom

Took this picture when I went down to DC for the Cherry Blossom. The little girl was just a stranger, who was enjoying the blooming of the cherry and her youthfulness.
