President Obama!

Barack Obama won the white house with a landslide victory!

Senses has defected ignorance and arrogance. American is still the most civilized society of the world.

I am glad that I live in a time when so many histories are made.


p.s. The biggest landslide victory of Barack Obama lies in Washington D.C., the very capital of the country: 94% of the vote went to Obama. McCain only got 4% of the vote.

The magic of cross-processing

I always think that digital photos record the fact but film photos capture the memory.

I met a friend who plays around with cross-processing - process slide film with the negative film procedure. That is plain magic.

Now I bring my FM2 along loaded with a roll of color slide or black & white all the time.
