ode to my family - Granny

my 96-year-old grandma whose mind's still sharp as knife

Granny

one of the very few persons who had seen you naked before (unless you are a porn star)

who shares all the same worries your parents have for you

who loves you no less then your parent do

Get well soon, Granny

p.s. love you

hands

hands that once rocked the cradles in my family

yesterday once more

Today, while I browsed through my sis' photo folders in her pc, I stumbled upon some precious old pics of us and brought back memories of our childhood. Those were the days....

this was me at few-month-old

i couldn't stop laughing at this picture and the caption my sis put as file name 'my shy bro and pilot sis' (lol)

and the caption for this was 'unhappy baby trying to ruin m cake'i was the unhappy baby, even at that young age, I knew my sis was gonna be a bully

and my dad once owned a purple pants!!!!!!
(*won't you take me to, Funky Town? won't you take me to, Funky Town?*)

my brother nearly turned this family shot into a child pornography!

and how my sis always commented that i looked like a monkey with little hair

and how our height used to be in accordance to our age

this family portrait tells so much about us: mum's a secret fetish over afro, and dad's retro (well back than i'm sure it was the latest fashion) floral shirt, granny's still-relatively-smooth skin, yc's ghost-sighting expression, my relatively normal baby look, and my, that's before yd even exist!!!

and daddy's good old Mazda!!! this car had been with us for over 2 decades!! that's mum posed and dressed like a school girl and yc dressed like an eggplant..i realised there's someone in the car and i assumed that's dad, then who took this picture?!

colour mood

Discovered an interesting fact about using colour and b/w effect to give different perceptions to a same image:

a sad, lost-in-thoughts look

a sober-after-a-pint-or-two look

(which happened to be the truth, or not quite, bro?)

li'l cowboy

ethan, my nephew;

he's one of my favourite photography subject

troubled

what's troubling you, my dear?

was it the morning glory I insisted tucking onto your ear?

yes, yes, i know your are a boy

just thought it'd make an interesting pic

sorry if that borthered you

while you were sleeping

paparazzi in me: sneaking up on my family while they were least expected

fun experinment:

you can easily wake up people from deep sleep simply by fiddling gently on the person's eyelash (yes, even only 1, single lash)
even my deadest experinment subject proved my theory without fail

unconditional love

blood is always thicker than anything
