Catch the sunshine


Catch the sunshine

It's a lovely sunny day in Mersey side,
let's get our little boxes ready and...
catch the warm light from the sky!
(St. George's Hall, 1854, Liverpool)

剝皮聊結局

Polaroid Transfer
哇啦!!
碎屍萬段的還真是難看啊!!

心得:藥膜最後會整片浮起,不用費心剝皮;記得偶爾換水把白白的藥劑到掉免得沾上畫面而變得混濁;事後手要洗乾淨,一整天不敢用手碰食物。

寶麗來剝皮聊

帶小P出門玩耍了這麼久,第一次知道80系列的底片也可以玩剝皮術

IMG_2298
首先,挑張片子(拍壞的很多...)浸到熱水中。這是剛入浴,正在發功的照片。

IMG_2299
等到全身長滿水泡後,撈起來,開始剝皮....(注意,畫面血腥,請勿注視過久)
左下角已經剝下一點點了,不過還得繼續,陰影的部份比較難剝下來

心得:第一次嘗試,有點心急,畫面還沒全部剝下來卻已經破掉了,只好繼續泡水。結果明天公佈

Pitch Black Arts Tower

1108174614

It is a scene unusual -pitch black Arts Tower, where some lights are always left on over night. On the 8th of November, a fire in the basement of the power station cut the electricity of every building near it.

1108172247

It's nothing big deal. Things happened, sometimes in a mysterious way. However, there is one big thing went wrong -the emergency lights remained blank when the power was cut. Despite giving me some privilege to enjoy the fantastic view, which I stunned every winter night, the excitement faded away when I had to climbed down 20 floors before reaching the ground. During the journey, the stair case remained pitch black...

The Arts Tower, a grade II* heritage of Sheffield, is a perfect replica from any of the Modernist high-rise building textbooks. It was fancy and MODERN at the time, but 46 years passed, It is now old, crippled and hunchbacked. Numerous repair and alteration works going on and on just enough to keep it shape. In a near future, everyone who works in the tower will have move to another building so it can finally be pushed into the surgery.

The pitch black Arts Tower, and the fact that the main library -another modernist building by the Arts Tower gives its title up to a newly built library, make me realise that the prehistoric age of these huge, slow, always hungry and sometimes quite stupid monsters, which were once embraced as the machine of inhabit, has truly long gone.

Meal in the Sky

IMG_4452

Since it's been a food/drink week..
A secret, I've always been a big fan of in-flight meal.
This meal was served on the Air France, and it was actually the first French cuisine I've ever had in France. Well, sort of.
Bon Appétit!?

印巴阿比

IMG_2254

巴基斯坦人是穆斯林,不能喝含酒精的阿比來「福氣啦」
沒關係,有印巴阿比,黑麥汁!
豐富的維他命B,細緻的泡泡,不只飯後熬夜皆適宜,「明仔早兮氣力,攏給您傳便便」
在印巴超市有各式品牌供你選擇,連建力士也來湊一腳,這半打更是丹麥過鹹水來的哩!

來自台灣的救援物資

IMG_2228

這場景應該是每位留學生必經的過程,
雖然陣仗排出來之後感覺我好像是日裔的,
但是還是很開心!

晚上煮一鍋跟以上食材都無關的麻油雞湯來犒賞自己.

for the coming weekend!

My fair lady


My fair lady

If architecture has gender, this one would be my fair lady,
standing on the bustling street of industrial Manchester,
she is so comparatively elegant, delicate, and bright.

(Barton Arcade, Deansgate Manchester, est. in 1871)

Heaven is a place on earth


Heaven is a place on earth

If there is no pressure from work, we can sit on this red sofa for ages,
chatting about current affairs, planning next trips, or just enjoy the heavenly sunshine from the sky.
How I love the simple things just are!

Bonfire night


Bonfire night

I know it was the nite before last night, but I'm overwhelmed by the work recently and couldn't spare a minute to check out what's going on with the sky these days. The pub in front of my garden shared splendid fireworks for those nearby, and I enjoyed a couple minutes of relaxation watching the show.
Light up my own light, it's another working night!

Betel nuts for late night work

I should have concentrated on my work, but couldn’t help hear something about “Taiwan” from BBC radio 3……
no, no, no, it’s impossible, I told myself and kept on working,
somehow the lyric repeated “Na-lo-wan”,
I rewound the program and searched for the keyword…
Yes, this time, loud and clear, this music is from TAIWAN.
Hahaha, SONG LA!

Black pony

Libra: What if I wouldn’t wake up early tomorrow morning? Pleases give me motivation!
Leo: What do you want me to do?
Libra: Bring me a pony.
Leo: What? pony?
Libra: Pony, little horse. A black one, please!
Leo:……I can draw you one.
Libra: (Smile) That will do!

Who's Jamie Oliver here?

Although you are not as cute as he is;
Not funny as he is;
Not celebrity as he is,
but you make sunny-side up!

Friday night pilots

Sitting in front of the desk like a researcher should do,
our brains are faster than the A380.
No fuel needed, no flight path permitted, no hardstand waiting.
We are already standing in front of the Notre Dame du Haut.
No? Too cliché?
Then let's find the alleys in the "Before Sunset".
No? Not in the mood?
Alright, then let's knock on the Wall of Berlin.
Maybe not, too cold.
Ya, and the next second we are sitting on the Spanish Steps eating ice cream.

Missing your own beds?
In the winking and you are back to the country of “Please, sir, I want some more”.

Friday night pilots
Pilot needs one more cup of coffee…to pretend like a researcher…

這一檔交易

我用英格蘭上上世紀的古典,
和你交換扶桑春天的清新,
你把那古典保護在手心,
我把那清新藏在日誌裏,
這一檔交易,
我們都贏了,
因為我們看到彼此的會心微笑了.
