The patches of light and color on my walls moved lazily along with traffic noises outside, and soon I realized these were no ordinary shadows that flickered onto my wooden walls: they were a genuine camera obscura thanks to a crack in my wooden shutters.<br /><br />It turns out I was sleeping inside a giant pinhole camera, and these shadows were the scene from the morning market outside, inverted and reflected into my guesthouse room. Light flashed from chrome motorbikes and onto the wall above me. A red lantern swayed outside my window, its tassels grazing the wooden balcony below. On sunny mornings it’s like watching a television on my bedroom walls – but with the same background every day.<br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054076103541105171.post-36826200157645428642010-03-04T03:16:00.001+06:002010-03-04T19:06:25.920+06:00Kong Hohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135631005778410688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054076103541105171.post-25154105299741438092010-03-04T03:14:00.002+06:002010-03-04T20:32:23.618+06:00HKMS Meeting June 2006<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg025uPLWfqSMA0in8f7i3tl4JgQY9DFCpCrXmjY5VnPLCCpPdnzUCydusSeFw6jT4SoKWfCjSTcCMdatKHyR6TU4KGIHCG2JXeo5MIZQIpqtMQBAZbgBW01iquBHOXPrfEESHpIyX99A/s1600-h/MS-meeting06-e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg025uPLWfqSMA0in8f7i3tl4JgQY9DFCpCrXmjY5VnPLCCpPdnzUCydusSeFw6jT4SoKWfCjSTcCMdatKHyR6TU4KGIHCG2JXeo5MIZQIpqtMQBAZbgBW01iquBHOXPrfEESHpIyX99A/s320/MS-meeting06-e.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Participated HKMS directors from left to right are Joel Ferraris, Rebecca Tam, Irene Leung, Martie Geiger-Ho, Elizabeth Briel, & Kong Ho. </span>Kong Hohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135631005778410688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054076103541105171.post-35223164950138230942010-03-01T22:39:00.001+06:002010-03-04T19:07:33.053+06:00Kong Hohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07135631005778410688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054076103541105171.post-20138809871711946872010-02-28T03:06:00.001+06:002010-02-28T03:09:33.068+06:00Kong's new Philadelphia mural designAlso, I think it is good to share with you all of my recent Philadelphia mural design painted color layout. If the organization can raise enough money, then I may work on this mural this August. So I have upload the design and prospective look once the mural is painted on the wall.<br />

Now we can have a preview of how the mural will look like on the wall.</div><div></div><br /><div>Hopefully, should there be no further major revisions needed for this design, the actual mural will look like this. Notice that the area has benches and school tables in there. This is where students congregate and therefore the mural will be a welcome sight.</div></div>joel ferrarishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09788138366931221036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1054076103541105171.post-88850370904945988652007-06-23T01:51:00.000+06:002007-06-23T10:27:20.390+06:00the sketch<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDiVXQVxBHNHaIb_xpTbdtgMuNbND7BAz9NY5JK3qt2ANeZm17LI1wg-yOPWQ3HaDZolL23u3-I8vuouKOhrySYotVzlPyMKM7ucedaJRuQvMQNxPmzE3CAxoKOMMfTKQiZ9h1n3mKKs/s1600-h/mural+layout.phase+6+SKETCH2a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5079111535275894818" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSDiVXQVxBHNHaIb_xpTbdtgMuNbND7BAz9NY5JK3qt2ANeZm17LI1wg-yOPWQ3HaDZolL23u3-I8vuouKOhrySYotVzlPyMKM7ucedaJRuQvMQNxPmzE3CAxoKOMMfTKQiZ9h1n3mKKs/s320/mural+layout.phase+6+SKETCH2a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><p>I just hope and pray that the Principal, the Art Teacher and all the students will finally agree on this layout.<br /></p><p>This is supposedly a line drawing or sketch of the mural design that we will utilize this coming workshop resumption.
