a few of my favourite photos of UWO

The best thing about visiting somewhere new is you never know what you would find. University of Western Ontario is way smaller than the University of Toronto. It is about the size of King's College Circle. Basically one round, and you are done! But the buildings are a whole different story. I still remember the awe I felt when I first visited Knox College when I went to UT for the first time. I felt that exact awe when I saw the interior of UWO buildings. The fact that there's barely any students around make shooting so much easier. I wanted to see the buildings, just the buildings alone. The sunlight was shining through the windows in exactly that perfect angle to give everything it touches a shiny and warm glow. Strange enough I didn't manage to come across the Science departments. The buildings I visited were mainly for the Arts. Maybe that's why they have that glow?

June 9th, 2009. Love the details on the door. Love the lighting. Love the shapes.



June 9th, 2009. Yes, it's heavily photoshopped.

June 9th, 2009. This was the sight that greeted me when I walked in. I was awestruck. It was breathtaking. The only thing lacking in this photo is a bride in a white elegant gown walking down the stairs gracefully. Ah...I wish I'm a wedding photographer.



June 9th, 2009. Like I said, the sun was shining at that perfect angle. Love the window panes. Love the stairs. Love the whole composition. I love the smell too. It was not mouldy smell that I would usually associate with a century old building. It was that distinctively nostalgic smell that brings back memories. Memories that I didn't remember. Memories of Belgium. Memories of Year 1. Memories of those good old years.



June 9th, 2009. This auditorium....was............spectacular. Look at those window panes. UT didn't have that!!!!

June 9th, 2009. This reminded me a bit of Gerstein Library. But....Gerstein has much better tables, chairs, and table lamps :P

London just got a lot more fun :)

Hope you has fun looking at these photos. Hopefully as much fun as I had taking them :D

Sometimes, the focus should not just be the future. You should know your present too.

It shouldn't just be the things in front of you, but those beside you as well.

OCAD

OCAD. Spring. Toronto. 2008.

I promised more colourful photos! and here they are :)

I realized that I enjoy walking downtown because there are simply so many things to see. Things around downtown Toronto is cluttered, noisy, colourful. Things are simply happening everywhere, every corner you turn. Things around uptown is so much more scattered. And thats why they have a more peaceful nature.

vell...everybody needs some excitement (well not THAT exciting) in their life right?

luffluff~~

another walk around Yorkville

Yorkville. Toronto. 2008.

Found a little heaven tucked away in between narrow streets. Lots of tables and chair around for you to sit and sip your ice-blended mocha, and catch up to the latest gossips with your favourite girl friends.

Gosh too many black and white photos. Hope that would be kinda the last black and white photo for a while. While I simply LOVE black and white photos, because they exude a certain something more than coloured photos, but there is always a certain darkness lurking around. Maybe because of all the darkness that is lurking around my heart these days. So hopefully I can take more coloured one :)

Here! Cheers to a brighter, better, and more colourful tomorrow~~

a walk to remember

till this day this is still one of my favourite photos that I'd taken.
two people were walking in front of me.
their shadows following dutifully behind them.
with the Sun playing up the story behind them.

I don't know who they are, yet I've to thank them for the wonderful opportunity they had presented me with.

I also remember, it was a beautiful and gorgeous afternoon.

It was indeed a walk to remember.
