a touch of color
me and my love
Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 29 September 2007 in People & Portrait.
In response to Dimitrios's prompt, here is another photo of me with my beloved camera before its flash got blown out by a friend of mine.
The photo is courtesy of one of my best friends at Duke.

Hi e. (what a funny name BTW), your friend must have a very strong breath that (s)he could blow the flash out of your c. :), I hope the disaster didn't last long. The picture is quasi-casual, if you look more closely you notice the well-balanced background with the camera in the central focus of all of it, emphasised by you looking at, and almost caressing it. I bet you look at this very same picture, after it has been taken by ... oh no! that's not possible because this picture must have been taken by another camera, me stupid!

@Illuci: Haha e is my way of keeping my name anonymous in the world. Although, the name of my blog, eureka is a nickname I used to have that is very similar to my own name. So there, a hint for you. :)
Thank you for all of your wonderful comments. They're very well thought out and insightful.
