This shot was taken in our recent visit to NYC. We were actually on our way to the MET when we came by this church. I have been to NYC several times but never into St Thomas church. It's front doors were always closed when I went pass the church in the past. This time I was "blessed" - the church has its regular Sunday service at 11am. It opens an hour before service (10am) for choir practice and early church goers. I was there at 10am... there wasn't too many people there then. I quickly set up my tripod (they don't mind tripods in the chapel :) and took a few shots.
The church has some stained glass... but the single most captivating item in the church is the front wall! The sculptures are awesome... simply awesome... it must have taken a long time to complete!

One of the best Cirque Du Solei show I've watched!
We managed to catch the last show of Zarkana in NYC. Wonderful performance on one of the most beautiful stage I have ever seen - Radio City Music Hall. Cirque du soleil , Zarkana has kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved the beautifully detailed staging. The artistic content was unique and amazing. They have definitely brought out the "wow"... such a big contrast to the disappointing "Spiderman - Turn off the dark" (I actually paid more to watch Spiderman!! duh...)

Seeing beauty in things abandoned
This photo was taken about 3 months ago at the famous Packard Plant in Detroit. I have blogged a fair bit about this place and often described it as a photographer's paradise. It truly is... it always bring a smile to my face every time I scroll to my Detroit Packard Plant folder.
Each time I am reminded of how fortunate I've been, being able to experience life from different perspectives and see things in different light. My next big trip will be to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. Hope to make it a 3 days 2 nights affair!

Work, study and having fun
A friend of my saw the photos I have posted on Facebook and dropped me a message, "hey, are you in USA now? are you working or studying? looks like you're having lots of fun..." I replied, "I am primarily working, I am doing my MBA now and also having fun! Not easy doing all three... "
Sometimes, I wished I could just do this... ... somethings gotta give, in the short term it's updating my blog *sorry*
