It is turning sunny today. Gonna take mum for house hunting. Then catching up with Joel for another Milkyway hunt tonight. Like what Jan says from her latest post, hobby improves happiness and better health.

Weather has been a bit under me lately. I spent time scanning and editing the old film photos from the days in 2000 doing clinical placement at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. I haven't seen my best friend in medical school over 17 years! He ended up meeting the woman of his life when we worked in New York.

So tiny. Hard to capture it on camera.

A little flash stun gun does help.

Life is busy at the moment. Good to be occupied in fact.  This photo was taken a while back when I still had that obsession with insects in general. Sometimes it is amazing to see the extent I really want to get this sort of image spending hours of tracking and snapping to get this desirable outcome. You might not be aware that this macro lens is legendary. Yet, I have sold it to a Melbourne enthusiastist. This lens has absolute no fringeing and smoothest bokeh among all macro lenses. The colour rendition is clean and clear. Very mesmerising lens in deed.

Street photography is still my thing. Yet, it is so hard to pick this up after 3 years of non shooting. Somehow I am confident that I will pick it with the help of friends :)

The top name for boy baby is Jack and girl baby is Ruby last year.

Another McDonald is robbed in Melbourne. This is very spooky.
