Tribute: Stéfan and his Stormstroopers 365


Today, April 5th, mark the end of Stormstroopers 365 series. Stormstroopers 365 is a 365 photography project made success by a French dude named Stefan. This 365 photography project was based on the Star Wars movie sequels staring two mischievous Stormstroopers, TK479 and TK455, fighting day-to-day obstacle on completing the mission to find the-droid-they-are-looking-for. It is an amusing journey. This project had been a varial sensation among a number of flickr users, myself included.

I have been following his work since June of last year when it was only two months in the making. And yes, I did enjoy the day-to-day dose of Stefan's Stormstroopers 365. It was hilarious and refreshing, at the same time, completely elegant -- given that it tells so much and arouse so much amusement just by a momentary picture, a caption or/and some dialogues. This work, I would say, is almost comparable to Jim Davis' daily Garfield strip -- which I never missed when I used to read the Stars back in Malaysia. Simply stunning. Stefan's work also had proven something very important to fellow photographers, professional or hobbyist. He proved that 365 photography project is indeed achievable given a certain measure of passion and patience. Bravo! Good job dude!

Wunderkind

while i was wandering around youtube doing my self-willed-extra-work for my music 101 class, i stumble upon on some really awesome video about piano playing.

Her name is Emily Bear and she's from Rockford, Illinois. She plays the piano and composed several musical pieces of her own (find out how many in video). She likes jazz music and played the piano at many different places. Most importantly, she's 8 and she's as cute as a teddy Bear!






i guess this is what english scholars semanticize when they put together the word 'child prodigy'.
i am all filled with awe and burned with envy. >.<
