Pan Admun Republic of Western Blog

While reading about some drama (more here) over at Friendster, I bumped into this article. A good read about blogging and its potential privarcy/legal/liability issue. I have never really thought about it, but it's indeed a minefeild we are walking on.

For privacy reason, I was cautious and hesitate on putting up posts on certain area/details since day 1. ie work, political/other opinion and more sensitive thought. My gut feeling was worrying somethings (but don't know what in particularly) since it's all out in the open and I guess this post give me the food for thought.

TOWARDS SEMI-PERMEABLE BLOGGING

The man with tee roll-up to the chest just so Mainland Chinese. By looking at the picture without any description, I can guess he's from PRC.... not necessary it's a bad thing. It just like all the cute asian gals making a V-4-victory sign in front of camera are likely from Japan. Ok, I'm a bit stereotyping here....

BTW, I don't know if Luis noticed, another common sight of "amusement" (at least to me) is people in China crouching on the sidewalk or other public places (sometimes rolling up their tee at the same time) while waiting or taking a break. In other countries, people either find a bench/fence/curb to sit on or simply standing instead.... But in China, it seems more fashionable to just sit on your feet.... aren't they get tried in that position after a while?

Taking pictures of her new outfit, some nice fashions on display, nice dressing gals on the street... and as a mirror.

We're just so creative about this new toy.

I know there will be a LOT of photographers in a mega sport event like the Olympics, but never thought of how many camera will be there.

Just how many camera are at Athens?

Now I know: It's a big amount!

They bring in a battlion of professional level camera with premium lens. All these camera are preset by the sideline and linked wirelessly. So, the photographer just hit a button and all of them snap away.

In addition, photographers bring in their big gun and taken up position to snap on some detail/focus/target shot that the preset camera won't catch.

So, that's how they waste films.... oh, I mean how that are able to take a lot of pictures to ensure something turn up.

I rememebered reading about how low the turn out of pictures taken in sports event, and I definitely know it first hand when taking pictures for our soccer team. That 1 million dollars shot is actually just one of the many, many that failed.
