Kendo is a traditional sword-fighting of Japan. According to All Japan Kendo Federation in 1975, the concept of Kendo is to discipline human characters through the application of the principles of the Katana (sword). Learning Kendo can enable people to love their country and society more, and to promote peace and prosperity among them.

The portrait of my shooting is Tyler Dunham, a Kendoka as well as a senior from CMU. He has been doing Kendo since January 2007. He has awarded 2nd place in Michigan Family Taikai. On the shooting day, he brought shinai, bogu and hakama to show me how a Kendoka should wear like.

Whenever and wherever I go out, both glasses and mobile phone are two equipments that are always with me.

Paparazzi

This is my 3rd assignment of ART 240. The idea of this photo is, I am a paparazzi who records the life of a celebrity. They shop, they party, they degenerate, their life is not as good as what we always see from the newspapers.

Self-Violence

Me in RED: I hate green color, why are you still wearing it!?

Me in GREEN: I don't know, I wear the same one as you, but just come out like this...

Me in RED: Take it off or I beat you!!

Me in GREEN: No...!

A tree trunk beside my house. I took this picture when I went back to my motherland, Malaysia, for summer holiday 2009. I am telling myself to be more concentrate on everything from now on.

The Fallen Star

Was taking dinner in Italian Oven with Tina and XiaoQing last friday. I love the decorations inside and the way the waitress served us. XiaoQing had pasta for dinner while Tina and I shared a combo of lasagna and pasta.
