Stone Forest

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

Is Contemplation a Vice?


Contemplation, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.

A sweet.
A smile.
A hug.
A little love from you...

All it takes is a little something to make a child feel appreciated.

Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.

St Joseph's Cathedral


St Joseph's Cathedral, originally uploaded by haechoo.

Tried to photograph this majestic church in a different way. Overexposed the highlights. Vietnamese masses are very melodic and just being there amongst the Vietnamese during mass gave me little goosebumps. But the interesting thing is that there is gender segregation whereby the guys sit on the left and the ladies sit on the right. How strange but fascinating. :)


Little Green Girl, originally uploaded by haechoo.

After mass, met this sweet little girl and her brother and mom outside the church. She was really shy when I tried to take a shot of her. Her mom had to coax her into position before I managed to get a beautiful shot of her (below). Too bad I did not get their contacts to send her picture over.
