Day Out

spent a beautiful afternoon with my friend, Natasha, at the lake. 

I don't know. I read the first paragraph and I thought I had to share.

Sometimes I feel very detached from the world. Being an artist is really a lifestyle. It’s a whole belief system. I remembered my lecturer once said, as an artist, you eat, sleep, and live art. Art and my life is pretty much inseparable. It is part of me and like a health condition I have to live with the rest of my life.

Unlike any other jobs, where one can choose to “knock off” after office hours, an artist is constantly in the moment. It is beyond a job. It is a life where one is constantly in tune with his or her emotions.

Sometime I wish to be more pragmatic and less emotional to the things around me. By being less sensitive perhaps, my life would have been much easier, possibly happier, and lesser chance of getting into trouble and all the dramas.

If only it is that easy like any electronic device power switch button where u can turn your emotional mode on or off with just an effortless nudge of your fingertip.

Would I be genuinely happy just being “normal”? The thought of being “normal” is a very frightening to me indeed because I don’t know if I will ever lose my soul for the desire to live. What if part of me dies? Am I being "abnormal" when trying to be "normal"?

It is a constant struggle for me trying to live up to the expectations of the society vs. my own personal spirituality. Could death be the only solution?

I rather live and shine in a moment like a comet than keep that dim light and live like a firefly.

I shot this series of images at the same time with "Sea of Flowers" when I was working with two wonderful people from Wallflower Model Management. For some reasons, I just did not feel right when I was editing them and I decided to leave all these photos sitting there in the folder for a little while. Finally got time to get back to them yesterday. I guess this time I feel good.
