Lemonnism

今天心血來潮把我之前 LE Photo-blogging 活動的照片整理了一番, 現在把它們全部歸為 Inspiration 相本, 請大家多多指教囉! ^^ 真希望我的相機能快快回來 ><" (其實也不算是我的相機啦~只是常常霸佔而已:P) 這樣子才能照一些有的沒的跟大家分享

題外話 >> 沒想到在 Chapters 也會碰到 hena ojisan...@@ 請各位女生自己出門在外還是要謹防身邊的人喔~~

Symmetry is boring.

Yet symmetrical faces are more attractive...

What a strange universe!

Dogs with 2 legs ONLY are not welcome.

身為 Starbucks 常客的我, 時常替他們打免費的親友廣告. BUT, 他們賣的 Cricket Cola 實在是令人失望...

天氣熱得很, 想說久久沒喝汽水想來點不一樣的滋味, 又加上想把可愛的瓶子帶回家養花兒, so...就這樣, 我破天荒地買了 Green Tea Diet 的 Cricket Cola. . 從國中起就視汽水為毒品幾乎戒掉不喝的我, 在喝了 Cricket Cola 後, 有種嚴重被玩弄的感覺...果真是外表會騙人, Cricket Cola 把我的感情也一同騙了~~唉...難道我是禁不起膚淺誘惑的??

It's the sun,
It's the breeze,
That took me out of focus.
Life is short,
Memory is sore,
But our story should be beautiful.
The bond is happening,
Though it's blurred,
Out of focus is nothing.

Out of faith is one thing.

我看你啟程
   看你翱翔
而總有一天
      我會看見你降落

在那之前
     我會一直支持你
                  祝福你

一直

沒錯, 跟先前的小頭P飛躍系列是同地點拍的
其實原先是小頭P的idea, 要我穿著裙子拍動作片
不過咧, 我的姿勢實在是太好笑
一點都沒有小頭P那般的彈性...

Anyways, 開學了, 期待新的開始．新的挑戰

Color itself,
             is a statement.

The Beauty of Searching;
The Searching of Beauty.

Lemonni 的第一卷 Holga 終於洗出來了！！
不過超級滿意的就只有這一張...

我猜, 世界上那麼多人還會為了一丁點的美麗機率而繼續玩著 Holga, 一定都是為這 "缺陷美" 所著迷。

Lemonni 也要成為 Holga 迷~
期待下一卷 "黑白照"！

今年的夏天, 她為我關上最後一次門...

當一個人走的時候,
你總是會努力翻遍記憶中跟她最後相處, 最多互動的時刻。
然後,
回神了, 卻又很難相信,
她就真的從此活在你的記憶中...

我會好好愛,
把每一秒當作是最後一秒。

Time: A chilly Saturday afternoon with some fogs.
Place: A corner outside of Angus building @ UBC.
Participants: KK, Alice, Sandy, Tiffany, and me.

＊ Special thanks to Tiffany for organizing the party and making everyone pretty pretty; to Alice who provided most of the outfit.

不知為何, 照腳就會想到諾。

這是今年 LE 辦的第五屆 Photography Event--Welcome to Pixeland.

雖然已經被很多人問過, 但 Lemonni 今年不當麻豆兒是因為我想要有照相的機會! 結果咧...我的產量並不多, 滿意的只有這兩張而已。感覺上, 照人家比被照還有挑戰性耶~~不過, 如果還有機會的話, 我想用 film 來照人物。

One day, Lemonni noticed an interesting phenomenon: why are there so many "November babies" among her friends? And she made a hypothesis herself: many people were born in November because of Valentine's Day.

So she started to search for the answer on internet. It turned out that the most common birthday month is August, and the most common birthday is October 5. While the data is based on North American database, which is not valid to test Lemonni's hypothesis, it is still interesting to see different arguments people have about this "birthday myth".

Some people argue, just like Lemonni does, that the most common birthday falls in a range of dates 9 months after Valentine's Day. However, if that top birthday months range from July to October is true, and given that normal pregnancy is 38-42 weeks long, some people argued that the most common birthday should be 9 months after New Years. Since in North America, people usually have Christmas/New Year breaks, and they would have more oppoturnities to conceive or, screw up birth control if traveling. Bear in mind though, that the Valentine's Day/New Year's Day theory doesn't imply that people only have sex on those specific days. It implies that those who get pregnant are more likely to have sex on those days than any other day of the year.

Some people point out that Valentine's Day is cultural specific, since many other countries do not have Valentine's Day. They propose that the birthday fluctuations should correlate with seasons. That is, cold winters keep people indoors, and therefore, there's a higher possibility to get pregnant. If this is true, then the birthday pattern will be very different in other regions, especialy those in Southern Hemisphere. While the seasons may be a factor, another theory suggests that natural disasters are the reason that cause birthday fluctuations. People are more likely to conceive during storms, blackouts, earthquakes, and blizzards that keep them indoors, perhaps with no TV, no lights, no video games...

So, do the spikes in bithday pattern imply accidental conception, or deliberate attempt? Some people reason that if there's a pattern, then it's due to deliberate attempt to let babies born at a certain time of a year. Since birth control methods are more reliable nowadays than years ago, "wanting to get busy" is no longer equivalent to "achieving conception". In North America, most people want to give birth during summer time, assuming June to September. However, the chance of conceiving is about 15-20% month. So if they aim for June to September, they probably won't succeed in the first month or two attempt. This explains why the top four birthday months cluster around July to October in North America.

A conclusion can not be reached until there's more valid worldwide data and longitudinal data. But at least Lemonni has a different thought now: baby booms aren't likely to correlate with Valentine's Day.

Which theory do you agree with more?

拖了許久, 終於從小頭P手中拿到掃描好的 Holga 影像。
這卷是我照過成功率最高的一卷, 12張裡有10張 OK.
比起之前, 這次的成果可以開香檳慶祝了!
如果說照 Holga 有啥訣竅...就是在室外光線充足的地方照囉!

This is why I love to shoot with film.
There's always some kinda chemical reaction in film that would make you addicted to it.

Thank you, my lovely friends.
