>> event: counting the days in NYC
>> place: rooftop of "5 pointz" building, long island city
on my last days in nyc, i tried to capture as much as new york city as i possibly can. and the breathtaking view of the skyline is one of the views that i can never get enough of. always tried to get as many pictures of the skyline as i possibly can, i love the sillhouette of the skyline during sunset. you'll know from the empire state building on the left and the chrysler building on the right.. that it is manhattan! how can you not miss it? *sigh* (taken by nikon d70: shutter 1/250, aperture f 8.0, minor retouch by photoshop)

>> place: antelope canyon, AZ
another pic from the road trip. you may have seen it from the album, but i just want to highlight this picture cuz i really love this. it was taken inside the cave - a wind tunnel, to be exact .. a huge wind tunnel, that is -- in antelope canyon, arizona. the canyon is located inside the navajo tribe reservation area which is off-limits to public, except if you enter with a navajo tribe guide (btw, navajo reservation area is actually the largest native american reservation in the united states). according to them, this wind tunnel is a sacred place. inside there were huge stones crafted through years and years of wind and mudslides that went through the canyon. on top of the canyon, there were holes that let the sun comes in and creating a beautiful shades of light when it touches the red rock of the canyon. it was just a marvelous view when you come at the right time of the day.
paw and i went to this place after we saw the ad in one of the visitor's center. we knew we just had to stop by. it was heaven for photographers who tried to take pictures. too bad we didn't take the photographer's tour, so we didn't have enough time to actually take pictures with the right equipment. this is one of the best ones i can get, and it was hand-held.

>> "WALKING TO THE SKY" | OCTOBER 2004 - WEEK 1

>> event: jonathan borofsky's "walking to the sky" exhibition
>> place: rockefeller plaza
as i'm counting the days, i've been walking around the city to take pictures of the places i surely will miss. and it's always nice to hangout at the rockefeller center where they usually put up a different exhibition every week.
this week.. it's jonathan borofsky's "walking to the sky" exhibition where they put up a giant pole with life-size statues of people on top of the pole as if they are walking towards the sky. i tried to capture the pole next to the buildings around the plaza. unfortunately, the sun shines so bright that day that i can only get the sillhouette of the pole among the skylines. either way, i'm pretty satisfied how it came out. what do you think?
