A Photograph

 Hi Fau Bloggers,

Today I'd like to write about 2 photographs I like. One is a photo of me, the 2nd a photo I took. 

The first photo is a photo of me from 1980 when I was 20 years old. It was taken in a photo booth in Leeds (a city in the North of England). I was at a Punk/New Wave music festival with a couple of friends. I like this photo because it reminds of when I was young & innocent (ha!ha!). I was quite fashion conscious at that age. I was a big fan of David Bowie and I often wore make-up and quite outlandish clothes (often with styles copied from Bowie). My hair was dyed red. It used to be curlier but the dye make if frizz out. Nowadays, I look around FAU and see lots of interesting fashion statements and, in my experience, it's always good to remind yourself of what you were like when you were younger.   


The second photo is of a waterfall in Zhejiang Province in China. I visited the waterfall in July 2022 with my wife and a Chinese friend called Vera. It's actually the highest waterfall in Asia and their are 2 other beautiful and impressive waterfalls nearby on the same stretch of river. My wife and I were living in Wenzhou which is in the same province but a couple of hours away by car. We went for the weekend and stayed in a really nice, rustic hotel which has a cave cellar underneath where the owner makes traditional Chinese alcohol called Bai-jiu, the Chinese equivalent of Pisco. We walked from the hotel to the entrance of the park with the waterfall, which was about 10 kilometres, which took us a while because it was really hot. The park was beautiful and unspoilt except for the carved steps. It seems there are carved steps everywhere in China. I like this photo because it reminds me of a fairytale image or something from Lord of the Rings.

  1. with your first photo I am shocked with you look change, is amazing, i can belive this.
    i like so much the second photo, actually is like a movie, for the rest the composition is good because you can see the waterfall in the end, and also see the pergola and the bridge more near to the camera.

  2. Whoaaaaa the first photo are so cool!!!
    I can´t imagine how cool it was to wear that type of hair tend, the famous drizzle and crazy hair.
    I have curly hair, and when I was younger they bothered me a lot for that type of hair at school, but today I find it the most beautiful and awesome thing there is, curls, frizz and uncontrolled hair.
    And the second is impressive, so much, it´s like a unbelievable, nature is awesome.
