Worldwide Photowalk 2010 - Salt Lake City

This weekend (July 24, Saturday), I participated the Third Annual Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk. That is my very first time to go to a Photowalk with Photowalking Utah. It's really good to know a lot of Great photographer like I never do before. We started at City Creek Park and we walked our way up through Memory Grove Park to the State Capitol. We had more than 50 people participate and it was a Great fun walk. The weather was great; the sky was clear and the sunset was sweet.

The Terminal - Life is Waiting

I have watched quite a bit of movie in this summer. The Terminal is one of them. I don't want to talk much about the storyline. As the slogan on the film poster, the terminal tells Life is Waiting.

Life is Waiting: Viktor is waiting for last autograph from Benny Golson for his Dad for 9 months.

Life is Waiting: Viktor's father had wait for 56 autographs for 40 years.

Life is Waiting: Amelia is waiting for a promise from a married man for 7 years.

Life is Waiting: Frank is waiting for a better position for 17 years.

Life is Waiting: Rajan is waiting for people to slip on the wet floor for every couple minutes.

Life is Waiting: Enrique is waiting for a chance to know the lady he is in love with.

Life is Waiting: Dolores is waiting for the next person with immigration problem.

In The Terminal, everyone is waiting, either leaving or coming. We are waiting for something at every moment. Right now, I am waiting for a youtube video to buffer. I am waiting for the next song on my iTunes. I am waiting for my brother comes to Utah. I am waiting for my school starts. I am waiting for a chance to expend my photography to the next level. Life is waiting. It can be a couple seconds or minutes. It can be up to months or even years. Sometime we can predict how long it takes. Sometimes, we don't. Sometimes we don't even know what are we waiting for. Day after day of life, all we can wait is Death.

Actually die is not that scary, because there are a lot of people don't even live. The difference of their life to dead people is they are breathing.
