Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme - Attitude




Dear fellows pho' nhom\ en herbe, hoa. si~, thi si~,  art critic, and Forum friends,

Here are my three entries for Attitudes.

The first entry is a copy cat of the original by TNS.
I took this picture of Mai Kho^i, my eldest daughter (who does not enjoy being photographed), during our vacation last summer in Hawaii. It was also the first time I took pictures, so I was very eager to improve my skills, at MK's total displeasure as she was constantly under camera surveillance, so much so that she threatened to confiscate my camera more than once. Now, if she knew that I am posting her photo on the blog, I would never see my camera again :-)
I was playing paparazzi, while we were waiting for the food which took a long time come, and, we were starving. Now I know that it is the sort of combination that would trigger the worst attitude out of of my human subjects :-).


The second and third ones are to keep up with the trend set lately by other pho' nhom\s of photographing statues :-).
These photos were taken in DH park in Manhattan where there has been a display of statues with different expressions and positions. I was walking through the park one early morning last March, after the snow had fallen lightly over the night.

Somehow, when I looked at the statue sitting on a bench covered by the snow, I saw a very peaceful expression, and zen-like attitude.

I hope my last entry could fit into this theme, as a symbol of an attitude of mutual respect.

OK, now I could go back to my chores.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a wonderful week
MC

  1. Hi M.C., I love that 1st picture. What an attitude! Is that what I have in store for me in a few years? -:). Thanks Son and M.C. for the reminders: I'll savor the present time while my children still think their parents are great.

  2. Hi Thuan,
    Thank you! Yes, believe it or not, she used to adore her Mom, followed her Mom everywhere and her Mom was always right, until that one day....
    So, you should savor the sweet time while it lasts :-). What a lovely and handsome little boy you have there.
