Pearls, Lace and others





I've recently regained my interest in pearls, particularly fallen in love with Tahitian Pearls, and I have been in shock for about two months with how much there is to know and how much the prices has gone up. Yesterday when I was in a local Macy's and found one pendant really caught my eyes.

The pearl is not the prefect round but in excellent quality drop or pear shape Tahitian. while not as valuable on its own as a round , is still with nice colors and undertone. I heard that those are also very sought after in pieces of jewelry such as pendants simply due to their shape. The pear shape lends itself very well to both earrings and pendants making a very unique piece (or work of art).

The lighting was not very good and I should use indirect light to capture the fire.











Some of old fresh water pearls and ma-nmade ones

Enough pearls, what about some pretty lace and pleated skirts for the spring?

recap-One year with Panosonic GF1

女友跟随我一年 去年底收到礼物panasonic gf1(女友1号), 有点意外但也很高兴。这机子很小很轻,只用20mm的饼干头的时候可放在我的包包里, 特别方便。结果呢,为了回国,又添了另两镜头。平时出门买菜都带着。当傻瓜机用。 一年下来, 总的还算满意, 特别是到外面走走扫扫, 不引人注意。就是不喜欢它的慢-不能连拍,和背景糊的不好看。低光和照人也不够靓。 (刚看到这么多活动中的大片, 很不好意思, 既然已花了功夫做了贴,还是上了吧。请多指教)
