1/400s | f4.5 | 105mm | Tulips at Leicester Square, London, last spring.

Dawn's now defunct a.lifeuncommon photoblog was really something; it was inspiring and every page refresh gave you a shot of energy that made you want to do something with your life. In my case, I started this blog with the hope that it would be half as stirring as Dawn's.

I hate it that of late, this blog has been one downer after another due to my having a quarter-life crisis. Things are slowly turning around and I should be out of that phase soon.

In case you're new here, the photo above follows a tradition (anything that's done more than twice gets the "tradition" status in my book) of my posting pictures of flowers for my Chinese New Year posts. Happy Chinese New Year!
