Seeing 2 sides of the same photo from the same person.
A funny thing happen to me last night, well actually it started a week ago when I downloaded my latest copy of American Photo from Zinio.
Simply Beautiful photographs
Here is something different for a change. I picked this some a few weeks ago but only got around to reviewing today.
But of course anything by National Geographic is always good. I’ve been a big fan of their work as well as they contribution to charity as well as environmental work.
This is one of their latest coffee table photo books show casing another dazzling collection of photos from the archive chosen by Annie Griffihs. Each work is commented by her and credit is given to the photographer.
“How to pose guide” from Kinokuniya (Mandarin)
I know its rather odd but it does happen. I do occasionally find myself in the mandarin section at Kinokuniya Malaysia and they have some really great photobooks and the best part though is that I have never seen mandarin books censored before (or at least I haven’t had the luck of coming across one).
“Cica loves you” from Kinokuniya
You know what I love about going to Kinokuniya? Even though its about an hour’s drive from where I live?
Getting some great books but you know what is even better? Getting great books that haven’t been censored by the black marker pen of doom!
Guess what I picked up last night at Kinokuniya ~~~?Loot from Operation Chiaki…
As promised here is the loot report. You didn’t think after 30 days plus in Japan I wouldn’t have bought anything? Well most of it are just books that can’t be found in Malaysia due to censorship controls or are just plain rare!
Everything was shipped back via EMS at the total cost of 22,300 yen which is about GASP! RM830! Still cheaper than paying the overweight fine at the airport (it would have been about Rm2,000).
Okay let’s get to the detail item list…..
A gal’s paradise from Kino!
Thanks to fuminari for informing me about this new magazine. Its the final one for 2009.
Sweet little thing is worth the money you pay for it. It has one of the best pics of the race queens so far for this year.
(Also, please excuse the image quality here. I took them right before I went to sleep so I wasn’t in the best of moods to setup the lighting properly)
The original version looks even better most of the time…..
I came across this entry on “A photo editor” where it talks about a new book being released by Sports illustrated that shows the original slide used for their most iconic magazine cover. (more…)
Its finally here! Joy! The books from Japan-exposure!
The books I ordered are here! I had hope originally that it would be delivered to my place last weekend but PosLaju doesn’t work on Sunday.
Sometimes it does pay to get out of bed.
Today at work I decided to give kinokuniya a call about the book I wanted. The book actually it wouldn’t be even available until August 2009 on Amazon but for some strange reason Kinokuniya has it already!

How I spent this weekend.
Any questions?
