i used to go by an alias Doll when i played weiqi/igo/baduk.. actually i still have the accounts.
i don't know what came over me back then..
someone commented once that there is something odd about the image, a certain strangeness that makes it a little different from just beautiful. personally.. i don't know. =cypherx said i ought to post this.
winter 2004. photo by xiaochuan. sunset, it was freezing. i hadn't eaten all day, and i was dying in that corset.
This picture is a bit like, excuse my corny simile, looking at the sun in a broken mirror. It is exquisite and brilliant, yet something about it is strange and startling. I adore this.
