Yellow space
The days are getting easier here. A lot of that has to do with my photography hobby re-born. Work is also settling down. The feedback on my writing has been really positive, surprisingly, and that of course, makes it easier to go to work. I'm not as scared to go report anymore.
There are still a number of things I need to get used to. Like interviewing in Cantonese and the language of daily news as opposed to feature writing. But the bottom line is I am learning. And for the first time in a long time, I feel really focused on my career. I may not have a thriving social life or a huge pay cheque but this is what I came here for. This is good.
Photo: I decided to experiment with my night exposure feature on the digicam today. I ended up with 50 narcissistic photographs and I covered most expressions from happy to sad to raising the roof. More on Flickr.
I AM STEALING THAT PICTURE IT IS AMAZING.
