Pagan Poetry

One of the perks of this job is that your boss is actually an international-award winning photographer. Which means he knows lots of people and takes lots of nice photos which you can use for your MSN display pic... XD

Anyway, he was speaking at a digital photography seminar yesterday with Eric Cheng. I got to see some of their work, and I also got to see Stephen Wong and Takako Uno, two pretty well-known photographers. Their book "An Ocean Odyssey" has got a really surreal and poetic cover, so I went looking for their work and found this image:

And that is the sad reality of what happens to sharks for that bowl of sharks' fin soup you eat at weddings. Some fishing communities will use every single part of the shark, but most just cut off the fins and throw the poor creature back into the water to drown. All that for a bowl of soup that really tastes more of the sea cucumber and crab broth than the sharks' fin.

Translation:
Nemo nisi mors.

the subject

utopist. dreamer. cynic. poet. a contradiction. eccentric. cartesian. a starlight in the gloom.

The patient, born in 1984, suffers from a history of idealism of unknown onset and duration.
