For better or for worse,

Posted by Yanle (Singapore, Singapore) on 1 June 2007 in People & Portrait.

Unexpected scene in one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. New York's Chinatown is kinda rundown. Did I feel disappointed? No, no, no, you gotta try the chinese food there! Otherwise, I see most of NY's beggers and homeless people congregating there.

Anyway, sorry for the slow updates. Lotsa stuff happened... Lotsa uni applications to fill up. So right now, it's decided. Architecture for me. Took me a great deal to finally reject ADM. It wasn't easy to get accepted, yet I just let it go like this. I'm feeling like this guy in my picture... Unsure and unaware of what's ahead of me. But surely, I know where I'm going. I may cuss or complain about the crapload of work awaiting me in the near future, but I don't think I'm gonna regret this.

nicely capture foto with fantastic background & object in front. The B&W effect enhance the foto better. Great Shot.

Have fun being a CAD monkey =D I've got a couple of mates who are architects and one day I'll design a better coffee IV bag just for them.

I love b&w street shots and this is a good one - even loved the Gary Winogrand tilted horizon :-)

I work as an Architect in the UK with my own company (got 3 other business partners and 40 staff) so I was interested to see that you are going to study the subject. Good luck - its a great career and very fulfilling but the length of studying needed in the UK in order to qualify is horrendous. it took me from the age of 18 when I started to the age of 27 before I finally got my Professional Practice Certificate and the right to call myself an Architect (although during that time I had 4 years earning money). We all started as young free and single in first year but by the time we were finished most of us were married with kids - one of my friends had 3 kids in this time!

All the best,
Ian
