This is easily the most expensive photograph I have ever taken. Shot on 35mm Fujichrome color reversal film (which shoots positive, rather than negative images for those who are not in the know) at the Christian Science Center in Boston, with the assistance of my brother. I was originally hoping that the leaves on the trees would have more red in them by now, but I got spots of yellow here and there instead. This is I think, is a good way to describe what I feel like when I'm trying to remember something. It’s like it's all there, but I just can't see where it is.

World of One: Curious Boredom
After the success of "Yin Yang Whisper," I started to think deeper about the direction I want to take this body of work. When I started making these all I was really concerned about was trying to arrange the figures in an interesting way. As of late however, I have been playing with some ideas about how the two sides interact, and using that relationship to imply a narrative. The next images in this series will explore the paradoxical relationship between contrasting emotions. This one is titled "Curious Boredom" and was photographed earlier this week outside the Boston Public Library.

World of One: Yin Yang Whisper
Ladies and gentleman, allow me to present the next installment in the "World of One" series: The "Yin Yang Whisper." As I walk pass this building on my way to practice everyday, I always think to myself "wow that looks really cool maybe I should take a picture." Then I never do. Finally, I got my shit together and made it happen.
Whenever I'm trying to come up with a new idea for this body of work, I usually feel like I'm just rearranging black and white dots on a page. Being Asian, of course one of the first things that I usually think of is the yin yang symbol. However, I never follow through with that idea because I always think it will be cheesy. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out though. Whenever I look at it I think about how hard it is to listen to your own advice.
