Chivalry

Chivalry

A word to describe knighthood in the past

The word is derived from the French word "chevalerie", itself derived from "chevalier", which means knight, derived from "cheval", horse (indicating one who rides a horse).(wikipedia) 

but Today, the terms chivalry and chivalrous are often used to describe courteous behavior, especially that of men towards women. (also from Wiki)

but I'm going to blog about the modern chivalry, 

which in Malaysian terms is known as "gentlemen"

etc, open door for ladies

However, chivalry is the Grey area between feminism 

and old fashion gestures  (strictly my opinion)

I myself not really fond of the idea of feminism,

I support the foundation of feminism as it provide equal opportunity,

but, the only thing that bothers me, is that

they also wan the benefits of the old time gestures,

and they dont really fight for feminist right to the end 

(I still don't see feminist fight for the right to gain equal jail time with men)...

so they have equal opportunity, and the old time right to demand chivalry from men

now back to chivalry

Take this opening door for ladies for example , 

you see, ladies can open their door themselves,

so if we as male open the door for them, 

are we declining modern feminism ..

or .... well, just being gentlemen...?

Now who you wan to be ?

or

there is a price for equal rights ...

kill chivalry...

I admit i not much of a cheval myself,

I'm not a horse/knight...

Katsaridaphobia

Katsaridaphobia

This is the name NatGeo gave to fear of cockroaches, 

but why katsarida ?

according to babelfish ,κατσαρίδα (katsarida) is the Greek word for cockroach.

well, the reason why I start blogging about this 

is because the incident started with cockroach encounter, 

This particular cockroach,

scared the shit out of me, literally

it makes me lost my feel to do my nature calls,

and bath too, 

from there onwards , I start change my bathing habit from night to morning

and this is why I hate night ,

Lomography

If anyone may wonder,

What is Lomography ?

Well, it is a style only a camera

"Lomo LC-A" can archieve,

Initially this Russian made camera,

is regarded as poorly made and bad picture taker too,

However, in early 1990,

2 students in Vienna started a new style of photography with

their creative approach,

and soon,

you guess it, it became a style,

There are two main attribute in Lomo,

1. there is a vignette surrouding the pic ,

a vignette is the black /darken area around the corner of the pic,

2. the saturation and colour contrast .

This is due to the technique called cross-processing in dark room.

To really understand what is cross processing is,

Let me explain,

Typically , it happens when you develop film in a chemical other then it was made for.

A standard 35mm (our normal analog camera) film use  C41 chemical to process the photos,

However, a Lomo colour slide film is usually process by E6 chemical,

Dont ask me what is C41 and E6, I dont know,

I know is something to process the photos though,

Ok, now the magic of Lomography lies here,

A Lomo will use a colour slide film and process it in C41 chemical and this results

in super weird combination and photos,

In order to archieve that result on my SLR,

I had to photoshop it to mimic that effect ,

Here is the link for the photoshop tutorial, 

So, with a powerful format like RAW, it gives more freedom for me

to further made my photos into nicer pics...

this is the original pic,

This is the LOMO-fied pic...

boonboon2k2,

I knew the existence of Lomo from Brendan 

but Christina remind me of this technique...

thanks ....
