It looked nice enough to be set as wallpaper. How ironic, a common accidental effect that turned out good enough. It remind me of the cinematographic style of Wong Kar Wai&#8217;s &#8216;My Blueberry Nights&#8217;. While watching that film, I was thinking about his romanticism of lights, about how he&#8217;s skilful in using them to stir up semi-abstract warm and fuzzy feelings. I thought he overdid it a little.<\/p>\n<p>But here I am, infected by the same romanticism? Guilty as charged. Now, what will be the last image on Wong&#8217;s mind while he passes away? Will it be a Blueberry Nights&#8217; image, or another one from his other &#8216;mood-vies&#8217;? What&#8217;s more important is what I&#8217;ll be attached to? Will it be my favourite worldly wallpaper or the &#8216;salvific&#8217; vision of Amitabha Buddha with his golden light? The first would keep me bound to Samsara while the other towards its exit. I&#8217;d better ensure it&#8217;ll be the latter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first photo I snapped with my iPhone&#8230; with the protective film on.
