Abstraction 1, photograph, today (31 May 2007)
I’m enjoying my photographic adventures these days ;-) Since I’m so new to this medium, sometimes I feel reluctant to call it art. So I have a separate flickr account and a blog for photographic work.
But this one is special. I don’t feel bad about posting it here :-) I see painterly paths in this photo; will try to explore them with paint and brushes.
Oh there’s another good news. Finally we have uninterrupted ADSL internet, which makes my online life far easier than before. And more good news: for the first time I’m able to sign in to a PayPal account from my country. Both will be really helpful when I establish my online store. Previously I didn’t even feel like trying to sell stuff online that seriously because we lacked easy payment facilities.
Most of all I’m so happy to be back & posting here: breaking by “lj block”.
Unfinished Business 
This one is absolutely beautiful. I think you are good for photography. And photography good for you. A happy marriage we might say. But given the subtleties in your painting and expressiveness of it, it would be fun to see what you do with this. Quite frankly, having seen your other blog and watching it for the last few weeks, I wouldn’t be so modest if I were you. Your work is stunning! Good luck with everything and please don’t be so scarce anymore. You are missed here on LJ.
:-)

Thank you! Well, finally I’m back. Hope to post more photo-based stuff in coming weeks
Welcome back. What I love about this photograph is that I know the basket is on a table and the flowers are on the ground but there is the perception that the basket is turned on it’s side, facing me as it hangs against a wooden plank, and the yellow flowers seem to be falling, mid-air, towards it.
Thank you very much for your observations Lisa. I too wanted to capture(if possible) those falling flowers you see :-) I tried to “frame it” like a painting.
yes, this is a fantastic photo. it almost seems like one of your paintings.
Thank you syllepsis :-) I tend to “paint” with camera. I know I’m a very bad photographer, but when I think of getting a painting out of the photo, it works :-D
Dude.. this is really great.
Thank you Axl! I feel seriously encouraged to make more photo-based work :-))
You have found some really great colour combinations here, and excellent composition – do more for sure!
Nice to see you posting again, Lohan. Welcome back!! I look forward to seeing more of your art and photographs.
Hello Katie, yes I was away for too long :-) I think I’ll have more photographic stuff in the near future.
welcome back :) I look forward to more :)
Thanks Nicola! More pics are on the way(I hope) :-)
Finally, finally, so glad to see u again) I also love to make photos, seems, sometimes, that it’s an art. Hope in your hands it’ll become real art, good luck!))
Thank you! Well I hope to learn bit by bit, and add some photographic qualities into my paintings.
P.S Oh I’ve seen some of your your photos( specially this one http://pics.livejournal.com/sun_day_night/pic/00052pe9/) That IS serious ART! very inspiring :-)
I like how you tucked the karapincha in at the top. This piece is very pretty with a very light feel to it. What is the name of the yellow flowers?
Thank you! But it’s not karapincha. It’s coconut. It’s part of the process of extracting coconut oil. But here, I’m interested in these abstract forms.
Scratching head. The green leaves aren’t karapincha? Hmmm…
Anyway it’s always fun to learn about your culture through your art.
How you have placed the abstract forms and used texture is very pleasing to the eye.
This is very nice. I found you when you commented in my journal. I’ve added you to both my blogs. Hope this is fine with you.
Thank you very much! I just added your marstokyo journal. I didn’t know you had this journal :-)
Always loved what you post on teeny theaters. Cheers!
I also added you as a Flickr contact. And I was going to message you on Instant Message but I’m too shy.
Thank you. I’ll add you back for sure. Hey don’t be shy :-) Feel absolutely free to im me!
I received your messages, but I’m unable to send texts via AIM because it says “Unable to send message: Not logged in” I’m trying to get this fixed. I just signed in to an AIM account. Maybe my e-mail needs to be verified.
Okay, thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for when you are on AIM.
like all your foto.)

that is a gorgeous photograph. and congratulations on the dsl news. my significant other writes about broadband issues, so i understand how big a deal this must be for you.
Thank you :-) Well yes, dsl issue was the main reason for not posting here regularly. Dial-up connection was outrageously expensive and useless.
By the way, good to see you here today. I was thinking of you because it’s almost June 8 :-) Cheers and happy birthday!
thank you lohang so much for the birthday wishes. it is kind of you to remember.
i’ve been in and out of town for a few weeks and am looking forward to catching up on what you’ve posted.
Singapore
Hi!!!
really horribly… Glad to see that you are ok!!! I’m sure, everything will be ok)
Did you hear something about Singapore? My friend was planning to go there on the 20th of September for diving as usually… Do you think there is a warning of serious tsunami there? We don’t know what to do…
