Another day and Thank you Mr Cameron

Dad has left for work, mom still sleeping on a black Laz-boy, and as for me, just woken up as if drowning myself with a shot of absinthe or tequila. But truth to be told, I had went to bed at 2am that night, from spending in front of the screen of my 24 inch iMac, during a photo-shop photo-manipulation that's inspired from Avatar the movie. A picture that i have taken at Pattaya, a thunderstorm was heading or way, to our hotel. And the waves battled against the seawall that protected the beachside pool, gave me the chance to snap away my EOS1000D of nature's force.



Back to the manipulation, spend 4-5 days working on it, and finally getting it submitted to DeviantART at 2AM in the morning left me relieved for the rest of the night. Next morning, down the stairs, switch on my iMac, check e-mail and comments on various websites. Check DA. Result: 11 favs, over 40 views in 6 hours, and several comments. I've never had any artwork that jumped in popularity overnight like this one! But I did not care much, I just wanted to see if I could re-created Pandora with a mouse...

Ever since I have watched Avatar, I've never have been so creative-motivated. I was never as motivated to push my creativity to the fullest. To floor it. All artists, like Van Gogh, want to take it too the next level after they have finished each piece of art. And I feared that I would hit a dead end, of my creativity, like Van Gogh.

Whatever the case, Avatar was a phenomenon, not just in the movie industry, but a phenomenon of life! Thank you very much James Cameron... You have totally changed my view to the world. Both in terms of having the love for nature, the push for creativity, the motivation to live life to the fullest.... I Salute you!
