megacity jakarta, lens exposed from the comfort of a cozy 17th floor ibis hotel room at mangga dua presented its grim cityscrapers while surrounded by sprawling highly densed low cost housings. the greenish hue was the result of haze, pollution and approaching dusk.

thanks to a borrowed canon 17-55mm f2.8 lens, i managed to capture this seemingly serene view of the newly renovated allan’s water, fraser’s hill in december 2009. the trees and shrubs helped frame it nicely.

jesus is not a hallucinogenic mushroom

Posted on February 16, 2011 by nitzus

it’s not everyday that you hear an association been made between jesus and hallucinogenic mushrooms but by googling those three words alone, you will get more than a million results. but that is another topic (or shall we say conspiracy) to tackle.

it’s even scarcer if those were included in a deeply personal lyrics of a man that went through mental illness, shock treatments, imprisonment and other harrowing life experiences.

he is one of the few artists that went unnoticed (from my personal radar) but once tasted, came with a bang. after repeat listens, now i’m one of the converted few. his raw music and emotions are making me gently weep with sad and joy. my 4 year old son frequent mumble hummings of “jesus met moses, drinking from a well…” sometimes are making me thinking of an eternal damnation in hell when i should expose him to the likes of maher zain et al, but what the hell……

please meet roky erickson, for your consideration:

this pic was taken during the first putrajaya hot air balloons show in march 2009. it was almost dark and the elephant shaped balloon was one of the last few to take off. the two pointed makeshift tents worked marvellously as a silhouette frame.
