哈雷车友会 | Real Steel Harley Davidson

2015-07-06 作者:

Special thanks to my friend Dave.K who invited me to attend this fantastic activity of nearby Harley owners – somehow that makes me recall the movie Real Steel, all those bikes were far beyond cool, or fancy, or beautiful, or tough.

密尔沃基,哈雷·戴维森博物馆外,2015.06.05车友会活动,场馆周边三条路大概聚集了有数千辆摩托车,多数H.D,少量BMW、Indiana、Honda等其他品牌,大多数车主(无论男女)着骑行服/马甲,牛仔裤和头巾。

故地重游密尔沃基 | Here I Am Again, Milwaukee

2015-06-25 作者:

Every time I said “I WILL BE BACK” (just like Mr. Schwarzenegger), I do be back to this beautiful and peaceful place. This time, as I mentioned in the last post at Holy Hill, it’s early summer, in which the landscape is fantastic.

The below pics were all taken in the Milwaukee downtown, again, there is insufficient time to visit any museum or cathedral, but I said “I WILL BE BACK” the 3rd time ^_^b – not sure when, since it might be long – but for sure I will.

密尔沃基,“我胡汉三又回来了”。这次是带朋友做个速览,因此还是走的老地方,博物馆边,不同的是这次是初夏,与上几次的冬日相比,自然是生机勃勃;湖边小舟也欲扬帆起航,三根桅杆则颇为英武挺拔。

驾车就近找了个意大利馆子吃了一餐,便和好友闲逛。途径一处“国家历史名录”建筑,叫做Patek Bothers,拍下此片,权作到此一游。

午后的阳光依然抵挡不了湖边的冷风,Fisherworks穿了优衣库的棉绒运动外套却依然难敌吹透肚皮的寒风,于是采取如下策略,总算没被冻成狗~

  1. 右手握5D2
  2. 左手按住胃部取暖
  3. 只走阳光下

这地儿很有意思,叫St. Paul Fish Company,其实不完全是水产市场,基本可以视作菜市场or大排档。本来上次Fisherworks抱怨snow crab leg(雪蟹腿)肉丝太粗不好吃,朋友叮嘱我一定要买Alaska king crab(阿拉斯加帝王蟹)来着,结果一看傻眼,16块9毛5一磅,买少了不够吃,买多了超差旅预算(公司最近穷疯了T_T);得嘞,还是龙虾吧,于是12块9毛5买了一个10盎司的龙虾身子(木有脑袋)回旅馆烤烤吃掉权当晚饭了(然并卵,还是木有皮皮虾好吃,并且差!远!了!)。

圣山大教堂 | Holy Hill Basilica

2015-06-17 作者:

It’s the 2nd visit there for me, and fortunately it’s summer – which is much better than the last tour in winter but without much snow, but unfortunately it’s NOT autumn – which has breath-taking beautiful landscape of red leaves. A short visit is absolutely NOT ENOUGH to this place because its different gorgeous view from various angles, while the tour plan was urgent – I was asked to drive a friend to Milwaukee downtown & lakefront in the same day – hopefully I WILL BE BACK to the Holy Hill sometime in my remaining life with entire family, better during an autumn.

第二次来圣山了,Fisherworks是无信仰者,重游此地无非为了美景。上次随师傅(贾导)来此,是一个无雪的冬日,眼见之处颇为萧条,只拍了几张记录照便匆匆离去。这次虽然不见最美之秋日红叶,毕竟也是夏日到访,满目尽是绿意盎然,让人不免想要沉静于此,跟米帝大妈们学习一下meditation(冥想);可惜啊可惜,同行的哥们要我在一天之内带他游遍密尔沃基市区和湖滨(终于退化成天朝旅游团的节奏么T_T),所以只好再次匆匆离开,留下些许残念。希望此生还可有机会携家人“三顾圣堂”,最好是深秋……呃,最好还能登塔瞭望……最好我还带了脚架和GND……

 

停车后的第一张,第一次尝试油画效果(点大图可见)。

教堂近景,全称是Holy Hill National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians,还是很气派的。

教堂内景,这次是周日前往,大弥撒还是不要动单反的好,无信仰并不代表无尊重,Fisherworks也不是专业摄影记者。

(以下3张摄于2013年3月,届时教堂内无大型讲演)

奇妙紫 | The Fantastic Purple

2015-05-13 作者:

Well, I should admit that the purple does render the landscape more mysterious, more attractive, even more toughness. The only problem for me is I don’t have ND/GND filter, but I suppose it’s ok for a family photographer – at least I finally allow myself to start using tripod – what a tremendous advancement!

下午7点这种时间,让人很难对紫色说No,这种“诡异”的色彩带来的不只是神秘和吸引,还有一种隐约的坚韧之感。唯一的问题就是俺木有减光镜,当然对一个娃照砖家而言也不是问题吧——毕竟哥们都开始用脚架了,这“进步”已非易事:)

海边落日 | Sunset on the Beach

2015-05-13 作者:

Very nice view on the beach of Yantai Development District. The sand is super soft, without any rock or cobble, and pretty warm under the sunshine, which is comfortable.

极散软的细沙,毫无礁石或鹅卵石,太阳一晒各种暖,带着某Vince在这玩一天简直不要太舒畅。沙滩拥有极小的斜率,即使向海中走60米也未必能没至胸口,9~10月份的下午这里绝对是免费游泳的好去处(唯一的要求是女士要带足防晒霜)。

卖萌一家亲 | The Cute Family

2015-04-13 作者:

Appreciate my good family friends invited me to take the following portraits, as you can see, handsome + pretty + adorable, kinda perfect couple having angel-like kid. If someday I would live by photography, this family will be certainly on my commercial promotion.

Fisherworks好久没有拍的如此酸爽了。帅锅靓妹+萌娃,除了按下快门直到缓冲区满,我们还能做什么?
