last weekend, me and neng loucee went to philadelphia to visit anak bawang, philly branch. our weekend consisted of taking pictures around the center city, went to philadelphia art museum, and of course.. ate lotsa indonesian food. :) the picture above is not exactly one of the best picture, but it would show the park i call the "love park" in the middle of the city with a PINK fountain. yes, pink! the city is filled with very interesting murals and so we took many of them too. you can see the center city pictures here or click here for the pictures of our visit to philadelphia art museum.

>> "FCUK ON HOUSTON" | APRIL 2004 - WEEK 3
[previous: "dumbo"]
>> picture taken on: april 17, 2004
>> photographer: sLesTa
>> event: another photography-hunting day in lowereast side & soho
>> place: houston street
when we decided to stay around lower east side and soho area for another photography-hunting day, it means our objects will contain of billboards, people passing by, stores, and funny words, and maybe a combination of any. this picture is just one of them. on houston and broadway in soho, there are just tons of big billboards decorating the surrounding buildings. FCUK FM is one of the billboards i saw that's quite eyecatching. and i happened to catch the word "halal fcuk" next to each other when i was standing in front of a hot-dog vendor who stood right across the billboard. although we all know fcuk stands for the retail label french connection, uk .. it's a pretty similar word with the other word.. you know whatta mean? this is when imagination works and eyes become aware of every single objects around the area while having tons of people passed by. just click on the link i put on the "event" info above to see other pictures i took. please be aware that i need an upgrade of my camera, so the color does not come out quite as i want them to be and none of the pictures are retouched.

>> "DUMBO" | APRIL 2004 - WEEK 2
[previous: "sucky sucky five dollah"]
>> picture taken on: april 10, 2004
>> photographer: sLesTa
>> event: a day in brooklyn
>> place: dumbo (down under manhattan bridge overpass)
after we planned for a week as soon as we found out that it was going to be a gorgeous saturday, me, loucee, dridza, and paw went to dumbo in brooklyn (right across hudson river). after lunch at rice, walked around looking for a nice object to shoot and spent almost all afternoon in dumbo. after we're done with brooklyn side, we took a walk over brooklyn bridge and took pictures a long the way.
the picture above is just one of the pictures i took (using sephia color) of manhattan bridge in brooklyn. i love the way it feels with the sephia color, it was as if it was one of those old pictures of new york. other pictures are here.

>> "SUCKY SUCKY FIVE DOLLAH" | APRIL 2004 - WEEK 1
[previous: "yellow cab"]
>> picture taken on: march 27 2004
>> photographer: paw
>> event: late dinner at wo-hop restaurant
>> place: mott street, chinatown (in front of wo-hop)
on our late night binge [as in 2 a.m. late] after a permias' movie nite event, we encountered a bunch of kids showing a big carton sign on their hands. we're not exactly sure why they did it, i guess it was probably just one of their weekend pranks to have cars to honk when they pass them by. we saw them as we got out from wo-hop restaurant. and i took a picture of them right away, and they were more than willing to let me do that. after a while, a bunch of us were posing with them. the sign says: "honk if you love sucky sucky five dollar" [if you love south park as much as i do, this was the line from cartman when he becomes the vietnamese child prostitute with the famous line.. sucky sucky one dollah...].. and the cars did honk!! i don't know if they got the sucky sucky for five dollar or not, though! hehehe..
