Icelandic Wave - Day 10-12

Good bye Our House; Good bye Reykjavik, Iceland.

Icelandic Wave - Day 9 : Music is the soul of Iceland

12 Tónar @ Reykjavik

我知道我有點誇張了，但真的太多太美好，

每天在這裡待兩小時，晚上還不嫌累的再到Bar聽Live Music。

Icelandic Wave - Day 6

Day6, 昨天的天氣不太好，但為了Bedda說的燈塔和教堂，硬是走了3個小時, 到西邊靠海的Seltjarnarnes。邊走邊聽EF, Explosion in the sky and Sigur ros. 杳無人煙的頗有公路電影的感覺。

Day 5, 末日前夕，來場美妙的演唱會！

Icelandic Wave - Day 3

Icelandic Wave - Day 2

 Day 2

一早爬上教堂看日出，坐了很久，這大概是走了這些城市以來，最美也最貼近小時候故事書裡的教堂了。

Icelandic Wave - Day 1

Day 1. Reykjavik，Finally. 

雪山，山丘，湖面都結冰了，第一次因為手凍僵而放下相機。

這麼冷，怎麼還不下雪？

再次劃掉List上的一筆，太好了。

Here comes Icelandic Waves

æi ! Iceland !

Thanks for Sun's recommendation, we might be journalists if this released when we were freshman.

關於認同感_[與父親對談]

近期的焦慮延燒至身邊的每個親近友人，連父親也不放過。(他現在想必後悔下載微信，不得不與重度低頭族女兒拉近距離) 昨日再度於深夜傳訊寫下我的慌張，而他也在一天工作後，以他一貫的風格回覆給我。

Way Too Confused

Confusion

所以，要做什麼，到底。
What shall I do, what will I do, actually, exactly, finally.

Bluebird The Prisoner

There is a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, 

I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you.

Blue / Blur

If I was in Lanyu, I will frame a photo like this.

As you may know, I miss Lanyu Blue. 

Therefore I photographed at that moment, with Ireland Blue.

On my way.

If punk was about getting rid of hippies, then I'm getting rid of grunge.

秋天來了。

Draw a while.

我終於知道為什麼總是無法好好畫完一幅畫，總是無法停止轉動的腦子，要去做下一件事、下下一件事、下下下下一件事，滿滿的阻撓著我繼續動筆。三個月前為了過重的行李放棄了水彩色鉛筆和sketchbook，卻在抵達倫敦第一周無法控制的買了彩色鉛筆。然後，擱著。

Mist

Weather ?

Welcome in, welcome in.

Furniture Design - Chair

PROOFF - EarChair

When it comes to furniture design, no doubt that chairs are always my favorite part. Therefore I focused on chairs much more than others in these two exhibitions. I do like classic design such as Finn Juhl (well I spent a rush week finishing his exhibition project but, unfortunately we didn't get this case, tragedy.), but I didn't expect to see any of classic design in London Design Week, in other words, I was looking forward to see some of avant-garde, multi-functional, or  even weirdo design. And I do find some interesting brands here to share so let's start from Gareth Batowski !

Violate the taboo without violating it.

在不違反禁忌的前提下悖離它。

London Design Week I - Intro

 

RAY SHELF (Matteo Gerbi, UK)

迎接開學的第一周即是期盼已久的London Design Week，小紅書都來不及拿week已經過了大半，急急的上網訂了兩個場次的票，分別是100% Design和Tent London & Superbrands。前者是早在台灣就聽過，集聚各大廠牌的作品；後者則是衝著今年Fresh Taiwan有一批台灣設計師群聚Tent London，加上Superbrands的網站強調"The UK's strongest brands"，著實令人好奇，就決定了造訪目的地。

目前手上已有大批看展完的DM, Brochure，待我分類整理之後再來好好介紹一下我特別喜歡的幾個品牌與展品。

The first exhibition I visited was London Design Week. Unfortunately I did not join the event at the very beginning because my course has started at the same week! Two exhibitions I have visited were 100% Design and Tent London & Superbrands. I have heard the former before which gathered many brands such as furniture and interior design; the later combined with young designers from different countries and included Taiwanese designers as 'Fresh Taiwan' at Tent London, in addition there were famous, wide-ranging and strongest UK's brands in Superbrands. 

For now there are tons of DM and brochures in front of me and, of course I'll introduce each of my favorite pieces after classified. Just wait and see ! :)

Quote I

'拍照的好處，是可以在人生微涼時，用回憶取暖。'  - Ashin

The benefit of photograph is warming yourself by memories 

when life goes down.

I'm not his fans but sometimes being amused by his words. However this sentence deeply touched me, and I almost couldn't say a word not even mock them. 

Yes it is.

It can't be translated into English as well as Chinese. It is more like a poem but not just a sentence, which is what I felt recently when I laughed, cried and screamed for those old pictures.

Thank you, I will never forget this saying.

Traveler's promise.

From Avignon, South France, to Paris, Amsterdam, London, Epsom and finally here in Rochester, Dublin, Wicklow, Ireland. I have tried to capture the most stunning view during my journey. Unfortunately, I did not   that always pick up my camera and capture what I saw, but often smile and just, look. This photograph is the first one in Avignon that I picked up camera as fast as past and shot it.

She should be a model, I think.

I do really love to walk and breathe in a city full of artists and performers.

I met lots of performers here in Avignon, and really enjoyed their shows either on the street or in the theatre.

Finally I got here in Paris. I am not PARISHOLIC but having relative imagination as everyone. 

I was disappointed with this city for sure, although I still had some beautiful photos here.

  

On the top three 'MOST GO' list of my map is Seattle, Iceland and Ireland.

Therefore I want to Ireland during the holiday before my main course with a friend.  I had no plans and no ideas about this country, not to mention its city or county.

We went to Dublin the capital city, and I really enjoy it. It could count in my favorite cities list for sure.  

Luckily I have a good friend who love hiking and mountain exploring, and then I got the chance to see how magnificent this country is. I love mountains but sea carry more weight. In the day of 14th September 2012, my 24th birthday. I decided to explore the County Wicklow alone and spent some time on the lovely beach. I felt really great in this special day even though I was not happy to get older. When I sat here and watched the sea, what I felt and touched is only peace. 

My dear Ireland, it encouraged me a lot. I will come back here one day. :)

It never ends, my journey.

I'll keep seeking and exploring the world till the end.

10 Days Countdown

Can't tell how exciting I was today.

Bank staff called me and informed me to go to bank for signing my contract with daddy, and then I figured out all worries and problems were solved and it is time to enjoy my fly and new life.

I'm kinda worrying about studying materials and dissertation writing, because all of them are another professional fields and I never learned them from college. All my knowledge resources are from working experiences and I'm not really sure whether these are enough for my postgraduate program.

Anyway one thing I am pretty sure is that no fears or hesitation this time. I'll conquer all frustration and get what I deserved after all the sacrifices.

Wish me luck, 10 days countdown.
Just like the film 'Salmon fishing in Yemen', which it too ridiculous to do so. However, why not ?

Closer and closer

Thanks to dear luck, I have to say.
這半年來仍是順遂，即使工作並不如預期；
我想是運氣移轉到此了，Thank you, my dear luck.

Close, 翅膀就要張開，嘴角就要上揚，我就要蛻變。
Closer.

Way too far.

這一路走來太漫長。


房間的海報上紅點標記還在，我揹著行囊遊走在兩個城市間；
在自以為的灰色地帶，強說愁。
我湮沒在仿冒的人生裡頭，假扮他人的人生，
即便彼人生的虛偽不下於夢露。

Finally, 我撥開樹叢、踏著慚愧、目光直視
This is the right way, I told myself.
Way too far, and it's time to fly.
