forgottened

a guitar with a broken string and a dried bouquet... how many things did we forget in our rush? how many people did we hurt unknownly, how much did we let slip through our hands?

Slow down

Slow down.. perhaps we are missing the nicest things along the way. But will we reach our promised land if we walked too slowly?

Mongolian Night Sky


This photo is not uploaded to flickr

An awfully failed attempt to capture the beauty of the clear Mongolian sky. Too tired and also out of battery, all settings were wrong. Time to retire for the day.. dosing off at the tripod and everythign else... I will miss the vast plains and the clear skys..

A group of horses barely visible in the distance, they are merely a tourist attraction now.
Replaced by their cold and lifeless cousins bred from steel.

To the Heavens and Earth..

Mongolian Sunset

View On Black

Sunsets are beautiful. Such a transient golden moment, as with many golden moments in our life that slipped by so silently. Times we wish they last forever.. yet aren't these moments golden just because they slipped away?

Mother's Love


Mother's Love, originally uploaded by moodoki.

Skinny, dirty and under the blazing sun, this mother lie wearily feeding its young. Staring intently at me, watching my every move. If I were to go any closer, it will bear its teeth and show its claw. And there lies the young, completely oblivious to my presence, completely trusting in its mother's protection.

We use 'animal' as derogatory remark. Are we really better off? How many of our actions are not tainted by other desires? How much of our feelings are from the heart? How much do we trust? Do we ever give without expecting anything in return?

Bloom


Bloom, originally uploaded by moodoki.

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not."

--Georgia O'Keeffe

Daybreak


Daybreak, originally uploaded by moodoki.

Its been a long time since I posted any words.. today I feel like adding a few words to my photos...

Just yesterday, I ended a conversation abruptly out of frustration... Today, I chanced upon a quote that resounds within me...

"In the years afterward, I fled whenever somebody began to understand me. That has subsided. But one thing has remained: I don't want anybody to understand me completely. I want to go through life unknown. The blindness of others is my safety and my freedom."

--Pascal Mercier

Another day begins.. what lies in wait? Am I still who I was?
