外人的眼

This is my work in tokyo called...Gaijin's eye...or Foreigner's eye.
It is a semi audience participation piece...where I create a surreal japanese town...with the bits and pieces of photos of building, things on the streets and people I took everywhere in Tokyo. Audience will add on characters and items from my photo collection to the street I created.

Random posting...

Sorry for the NO TIME FRAME way of blogging.
Sometimes...I just suddenly have to mood to show things that are backdated.

Please bear with me.

Choose the flavour to die.

There is this saying that...you shouldn't take picture of a person when he is sleeping...not only because it is rude...but you will stop his soul from going back to his body when took his picture when he is sleeping..blah blah.....but I can't help it....
Gomenasai.

More strange clouds...


Strange clouds...

Who would you choose?

A) Rich and ugly and uncharismatic guy?

OR

B) Poor and handsome,charismatic guy?

Isn't the answer obvious?

Or maybe not...what if the ugly and uncharismatic guy is a faithful and caring person,
Who is a highflyer and very capable man?

Hmm....

Or maybe the handsome and charismatic guy is simply unreliable?

Ahh....why didn't I think of that....

So who would you choose?

There is no ugly woman...

As the saying goes...
There is no ugly woman...
For tonight...., only dunno how to make up woman....blah blah
And yes...that is my technical handicap.

I have tried...but after applying colours on my face like adding paints to canvas...
I realise why I still prefer to paint than make up.
After a few layers of eye shadows...with my expertise in colour mixing theory...
i know...all colours will give MUD colours.
And I look like a panda.
I remove my make up a couple of time before reapplying...
Somehow...priming my canvas..
and covering old paintings to put new colours is more enjoyable.
Than filling my face with colours...
After my first attempted make up experience at the wedding dinner
which makes my wonder if it makes a difference if i make up or not...
And not to mention...the cleaning part...
My face never seem to be clean enough after the make up..
And I dun like this feeling...

i realise....I still prefer myself WITHOUT make up...you know...one word...
LAZY.

And now...I admire those who put on make up everyday...
THEY ARE BRAVE.

And so...there is no ugly woman,
but woman who choose to be lazy...LIKE ME.
