Digital Blending – Inspiring Landscape and Urban Photography by Daniel Cheong

 

Daniel Cheong describes himself as a passionate amateur photographer and a techie. He is admittedly obsessed in making his urban landscapes look better than they actually are using a technique called ‘digital blending’. He has a Master’s Degree in Computer Science and he works as a Technical Manager for Nokia during the day. At night, he grabs his camera and goes shooting urban landscapes to his heart’s content. He has no immediate plans to switch careers and adamantly maintains that photography is just his hobby – for now. Although he does sell prints of his work, the proceeds simply go on to finance better equipment and photo trips. He said: “Try to find your own style, be inspired by others but try not to copy them. Don’t believe too much in EXIF data, just go out there, take hundreds of shots, experiment (with) different settings. Also better focus on a specific type of photography which is in your comfort zone, and try to improve and perfect it. Only after, you can try to explore new genres of photography”

职场上的那些绿茶婊

 

今天来说一下职场上的那些绿茶婊。

此题不分男女，但客观来说，女的更多一些。

进入正题。

职场绿茶婊一般都有以下几个特点：

第一，干啥啥不行，邀功第一名。

我以前做客户经理的时候，有个女同事，就是典型的这种人。有一次我们去一个小区门口摆摊，天很热，大家都是顶着大太阳营销，就她，全身包得跟个木乃伊一样，躲在凉棚里吹电扇。

等资料带回去以后，她居然随手就把别的同事辛苦营销的客户划在自己名下，还跟领导说那天多热多辛苦多不容易，那句 “我脖子都晒脱皮了呢” 我至今映像深刻。

这种人，领导看得见的地方干得热火朝天，真要出力的地方有多远躲多远，实在是太呕心巴拉了。

第二，工作本身不重要，上位才重要。

我还遇到过这么个女的，各方面资质平平，因为做过一次单位大型会议的礼仪小姐，就自视甚高，总觉得自己应该要好好利用自己的美色上位。

先后轮个 N 个岗位，套路都是如出一辙，交办的工作，要么推三阻四，要么敷衍了事，从来没有踏踏实实保质保量得完成过一项本质工作，最热衷的事情就是在单位当三陪，陪吃饭陪喝酒陪开会。只要有机会接近高层，没有条件也要创造条件上的那种。

第三，懒也就算了，还他妈的懒得义正言辞，几乎个个都是公主癌晚期。

全世界皆我妈，所有同事皆我爸，你们都得让着我宠着我，最好就是打不还手骂不还口早上帮我带早饭晚上顺路送回家，动不动就 “哎呀你不是顺路嘛”“哎呀你看我这么可怜的份上帮帮我嘛”。

就我这种钢铁直女，每次听到这种无差别发嗲的绿茶婊，真的就默默摸出八米长刀一顿乱砍的节奏。

第四，长相五分自评永远都是十分。

不否认绿茶的平均颜值尚可，但他妈的也就是比普通人稍微好那么一点点，结果个个都以为自己是安吉拉北鼻，人家客气客气叫一声美女，能把这些绿茶婊飘到外太空去，那叫一个迷之自信。

当然，自信也不是坏事，那你自己信一下就得了，还非得大家都跟着一起信，每天不夸你两句漂亮就跟你欠你钱似的，我他妈的，我的八米长刀都要主动请缨出鞘了好不好。

职场上的绿茶婊，每个单位都有那么几个，且各有各的生存之道。它就像一个本土物种，经过多年的适应已经能与周围环境和谐相处了。要想根治，只有引进外来物种，要么是比她更厉害的绿茶婊，要么就是天敌型对手比如我这种钢铁直女，不然，基本无解。

Artist Transforms Discarded Music Instruments And Other Vintage Items Into Lamps

Slava Korolev is an artist from New Jersey, US. Korolev operates an exclusive studio called Lightdents. He collects discarded musical instruments and other various vintage items that he later turns into very original-looking and attractive lamps, chandeliers, and even wine bottle holders. Of course, Slava’s most popular works are lamps, given how much thought and detail he puts into his one-of-a-kind artworks.

 “I am the only person behind Lightdents. The story behind it is very mundane: it was 2014—the year of the poor skiing season in the Northeast and I had plenty of time to kill. I remember looking at my humble collection of vintage horns and wall-hangers and decided to make a couple of lamps.

I felt at that time that they were begging for attention, being sad, broken, and purposelessly existing. So I made a couple of lamps and when I had a party with friends at my house, they loved it so much, I gave them these lamps as a present. Then friends of my friends saw those and asked me to make one for them—and so on... I ended up making quite a few and had to start selling them to make room for more.

I figured that I like making it—not selling. But the space in the house is limited and my family issued formal complaints a few times that they need a space to move to. So once in a while, I go to art and craft shows to sell a bunch and have them for sale on my website and Etsy—these web tools I was obliged to use if I wanted my lamps to move.”
