It's finally finished. My study. Perhaps my learning path is going to start from a company now. Three years, gone so fast with my design skills still half empty, I guess some hard work needs doing.
As my final academic work this year, I am off to the new designers exhibition. Hoping to widen my vision down in London.

The truth of photography
No one would know how hard work it is to be a photographer, because photographer always work alone... and people think a photographer only need to press the button and click, and the photo is done but thats just the final step of the whole process of professional photography from planning, setting up lights/tripods, getting to the right amount of light using aperture/shutter speed, changing the lenses for the suitable shots, taking a picture from a weird angle, catching a moment, sometimes getting ups and downs of places to get the right position and place for the shot, etc etc etc... some times after the pictures are taken, they arent taken exactly how the pictures they wanted to be taken and the process start all over again.
Photography includes quick thinkings, planning, physical works, cooperations with people, good use of the element of light, time management, take test shots but dont take thousands of test shots, and if its a film camera you better of knowing the film developing process.
Photography is hard work but its rewarding simply when people say "oh! your picture is nice/stunning/beautiful........."
Thank you.

New Work!!!
Working at Minky, a company for innovative ironing boards, laundry stuff and gardening products and furnitures. It last for only an easter break. Today is my first day, I work mainly as a photographer and photo editor but it has been pretty work intense for me. It was a very good getting experiences figuring out in the studio how to set up lightings, but quite boring doing everything in an isolated area. I had to climb up the ladder to take high shots, walk to the products from the camera enormous times, just to move it to the right position to fit in the backdrop, go up stairs to the office to transfer data, ask for help, and of course to get coffee and tea! Afterall, it's fun! It's good to meet friendly/funny people, to work in a design environment, doing things I liked and pursued to do. This job makes me energetic!

Fond of Leica M7
above photo courtesy of Leica Rumors
This happened to be a limited edition of the luxurious brand, Hermes crossing over with the Leica's M7.
The Leica M7 Hermes Limited Editions have a serial chrome finish and show many differences in comparison to the serial camera. The top plate has the typical classical style with engraved Leica lettering. The normal red Leica logo is eliminated in favor of the body color. All control buttons are made of metal. The camera back cover has the silver chrome finish. The engravings "Auto" and which are normally filled in with the color red are filled with the color of the leather covering. The leather itself is the original Hermes calf leather Veau Swift and has a decorative seam. Aside from the normal serial number, each unit of the edition has an individual number, 001/200 to 200/200.
Loving the retro-ness of it!

Music - My Motivation & Inspiration to Design
Recently, in a fond of J-Pop Jazz.
Some of them have a sense of going back to the 80's early 90's.
My favourite would be Kaori Kobayashi's Walk in the Night
Jazztronik, FreeTempo are also on my favourite's list.

Photography
Sometimes you need to get yourself a little dirty when you’re out doing some photography, but that can all be cleaned up later on whilst your images are uploading to your machine. You may need to lie flat on your stomach in a pile of dirt, or be knee deep in murky muddy water (make sure it is clear of crocs)… that’s what makes photography so exciting.

Stepping into the 10th year of 21st century...
First of all, I would like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wish everyones' life are better than ever! Designers would probably improvise designs to make this statement comes true in some way.
For the year 2010, there has been a technological boosting into different products in every way to enhance the daily use products. From medical devices to packaging, there could be innovative designs which include some technological support to the products. Whether it is because people are running out of simple ideas, or wanted to enhance more possible designs to the world, these ideas are brilliant.
Recently, an innovative fan, designed by Dyson - the Dyson Air Multiplier. It is a new innovation of fan which came out to the mass media. This is a clever design.

This piece of design completely changed the typical look of a fan. Also, it is claimed to be more quite as there's no blades for producing noise.

The other one which I would like to mention is, the Microsoft Surface, table computer. Basically, its a computer which embedded into a coffee table. The innovative side would be the interaction of the table. It has multiple touching sensors which allows you to touch with one finger or more. Although multi-touch is not new to people, I guess it would be a very cutting edge thing for a coffee table.
So happy new year to all the designers and hope you can produce something which enhance the world's living in some way!
Gateway to Africa
Just been to Marrakech, in Morocco recently. Realizing the vigorous cultural differences in Africa and Europe. I would have to say the orange juice over there is really nice! Sweet and cheap!
One of the most expensive things to be produced in Morocco is leather.
I was looking through the whole process of manufacturing leather. It takes usually about a month to make each leather and a batch process carried on purely by hands. I think how these people's hard work weren't paid properly for what they should get, instead they only get just enough for living but they are satisfied, perhaps.
One of the most beautiful scene was by the sea side of the Medina of Essaouira. Although I didn't mange to see the sunset, but I got there in time before its gone. Absolutely, stunningly beautiful! As I am a kind of "country side" guy, I could imagine living here is very relaxing and I would love to see this sunset everyday!
Although I felt safer not to go to any of the desert such as the great Sahara but I regretted a little bit that we couldn't make it for the fact that time wasn't enough.
