Dear fellows PNEH and friends,
Attached is a photo of my niece's hands imitating a heart shape wanting to say I love you.

my entries for CHAIRS








Hello BCB BiTi Emci, Fellow PNEHs & Friends


Here are my first entries for CHAIRS

The first one was taken in Bora Bora, and reminds me of this idyllic vacation, you could relax and sit there all day 
The second was an exhibit at the LA Museum of Contemporary Art, actually this futuristic chair is huge, it must be at least 8' tall...
The third one sat at the Huntington Library, and the design is so elaborate with fine craftsmanship, a study of contrast with No. 2


The fourth one was at a spa in LA, a little haven of serenity, you could actually hear the ocean waves from there
The fifth one was in a shopping mall in Santa Monica, I like the shadow reflection...
The last one was displayed in a museum in Germany, interesting study of a medieval interior

Cheers
Caro

my additional entry for CHAIRS



Dear BCBG Caro, BCBTwin, Fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,
This entry - a photo of a window display on Madison Avenue- is to make sure that I will win the prize from BCBG Caro for submitting the highest number of chairs than all other PNEHS together. Just count the number of chairs in the photo if you can :-). It is also for the bag aficionadi among the ladies in the Forum.

Goodnight and have a wonderful Friday everyone

HANDS





Dear Friends

Here are my first entries for HANDS -
They were taken at the GANDHI Museum in Dehli which is dedicated to young Jawaharlal Nehru who spent his childhood in India and was sent to England to complete his education to become a barrister before returning to India and joining the battle for freedom..
The Hands symbolize many things, an offering and a gift gesture like in the first picture, unity as in the second picture - which makes us stronger, and finally freedom as in the third picture.

Hi Biti

Love your hands, and agree with Quang & EmCi, they're very artistic and whimsical

CHAIRS







Dear BCBG Caro, BCB BiTi, Fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum Friends,
Somehow I had a feeling that someone will come up one day with the theme Chairs :-), so I have been taking photos of chairs found here and there and everywhere:
The blue chairs were found recently in front of the bistro La Mediterranee on 2nd Avenue, Manhattan,
Chair and table were found somewhere Uptown Manhattan,
The velvet chairs were found at ABC home and carpet store in Manhattan,
The red and black armchairs were found at Mumm, Napa Valley,
Chair in pink was found at Hell's Kitchen Flea Market , and so was the chair sitting right in the middle of the street.
Goodnight and have a nice Wednesday everyone.

HANDS






Hello friends

Our school friend Hanh has a wonderful range of skills and sensibilities, he's not only a great gourmet cook (and knows how to party), but is also a seasoned traveler and a wonderful photographer, I had the chance to admire some of his poetic and soulful photography, but he's so reserved and modest that he's reluctant to show them to the world. I have managed to coax him to submit a few photos on the HANDS theme, taken during his recent trip to India.

Enjoy
Caro

Praying hands



Dear M-C:  A substitute for "painter's hands" is as attached "praying hands" to compensate. ;) KPN

more HANDS





Dear BCBG Caro, BiTwin, fellow PNEHS, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,

here are some more hands:
my own with a lady bug which I brought back from a weed near the sidewalk to release in my garden so it could feast on the aphids,
Chuong's hand which I captured while he was watching TV so the photo should be entitled TV-watching hand,
and Mai Han's hands with her camera, trying to take a picture of a bee in the garden.

goodnight and have a nice weekend every one

HAND






Dear BCBG Caro, BiTwin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang, Forum friends,


The first entry is my little sis's M-U poem on HAND and my attempt to illustrate her verses.
As my little sis got to call the shot.. . I had to give her a few choices...

.. Of course the version I liked better, she rejected. So I am submitting it here as my own entry :-)

Have a restful Sunday evening and a wonderful upcoming week.

Poem for HAND


Dear BCBG Caro, BiTwin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang, Forum friends,

The first entry is my little sis's M-U poem on HAND and my attempt to illustrate her verses.

As my little sis got to call the shot (believe it or not, it has always been that way ever since she was old enough to express what she wanted - I still remember vividly those sentences "nhu*o*ng\ em" , "em no' be'...." :-):-):-), I had to give her a few choices.
I also had to endure many sarcastic remarks from Chuong who reluctantly modeled for me (Mom! Seriously, you need to step up your game. How many times you need to take a picture of my little finger? You know this is why you were not able to take a good picture on the streets, you have to know what you are doing and do it fast....).Finally I got the photos I needed, made two collages and presented to my little sis. Of course the version I liked better, she rejected. So I am submitting it here as my own entry :-)

Have a restful Sunday evening and a wonderful upcoming week.
EmCi
