221 of Project 365: Photography Books

I bought these 3 books over the weekends at Kinokuniya:

(1) 梅問題の超質感商品攝影手法大公開 

(2) DSLR 爱女生

(3) 恋上GF1

I went without anything in mind to buy but was so glad that I managed to get these 3 books, plus the 20% discount for member which was a bonus.

I came to know about books (1) & (2) via a few Taiwanese blogs while (3) was something I was looking for but only see it on the shelf now, so long after the launch of GF1, when a similar book on GF2 is already out in the market. The author of book (1) also has a website which has a trove of information related to everything photography.

My old-time favourite beer since young even before Hoegaarden. And this used to be my dad's favourite too. Well, naturally since this was dad's preferred choice, I can only follow his taste & drink whatever he ordrered.  

I like this beer for the light taste which is not bitter. This is the new look, maybe with improved formula but I can hardly tell because I have not drunk this for so long. I saw an advertisement promoting this beer & decided to buy a 6-pack for reminiscent sake.

Bottoms up!

Goose Attack!

I was in a squatting position taking picture of this goose, while my mom was telling me not to go too close else the goose attack me, before I knew it the goose was coming after me! This goose is fiercer than the proverbial tigress, attacking people without being provoke. The way it bare it chest reminds me of Orangutan or Chimpanzee, thumping their chests as a show of prowess or excitement.

Foie gras, anyone?
