甭提淮南子的知秋葉
莫論李太白的故鄉月
相望東西岸的白髮人
只有愁愁愁愁愁愁愁

You cannot be a street photographer without living in the city. Could you?

Could you shoot the same subject again, again and again?

80-20 Rule

Carpet..., originally uploaded by szachko.

It is a typical 80-20 rule case...
It only took us 20 minutes to pull out 80% of the carpets.
But it took us about eights hours to pull out the rest of 20% of the carpet with those terrible GRENN GLLUE at the bottom...

Recital

2011 Recital, originally uploaded by szachko.

Like everywhere in the world, parents in Hoboken send their kids to different programs to ensure they are stimulated properly. At the end of the year, we wonder how much that kids have absorbed and transformed? We have done the nature part, and how we can tell the nurture parts? Listening to Mozart's piece resonating in this classic German Church from our children peacefully, I have my faith to the futures..

Haven the best lobster roll in the town, all kids are happy, grown up just like to have some spirits to age the pleasant memory. Tom pulled out this very baby and we all lightened up. Voices in my head urged me to take the shut to catch this moment.

Couple days after, we had a bad day at work and felt like having some shots. I pulled up this pictures to show my friends who have scottish with their blood to ease the stress. It turns out that this picture was shot at Tartan Day!

Happy Belated Tartan Day!...

Bubble Tea

Maroon Cafe, Hoboken, originally uploaded by szachko.

Still remember my first bubble tea back in 1987, Taipei, Taiwan. At that time, the shop owner still used the cocktail shaker to ensure a nice layer foam layer at the top of the drink. That is the bubble tea I remember. Somehow the definition of bubble transforms from foam to tapioca!! The size of tapioca grows into jumbo size!! The foam is disappearing in every bubble tea I could find in US....

2011, originally uploaded by szachko.

2010 was really tough. Is 2011 better? Is EU able to hold up together? Regardless the outcome, people still work hard to make through day to day life. We still need to put food on the tables, kids still need to go school. We still have each other.....
