Europe in our Eyes

Written by on August 4, 2010 – 10:00 am13 Comments | 9 Read this

It started as a joke: Feng wanted to take a pic­ture of the Lon­don Eye reflect­ing in my eyes. After a few tri­als (try open­ing your eyes as big as you can with­out blink­ing for sev­eral sec­onds!), we got hold of it. We then decided to do the “eye pic­ture” for a few major land­marks dur­ing this trip.

For each loca­tion, we took one pic­ture in my eyes and one in Feng’s. You should be able to tell which one of which — I’m the non-Chinese one, remember?

You can see the whole Eye Reflec­tions set here.

    @Tulsa Gen­tle­man — I’m sure we missed a few but.. it was fun!

    @Agnes — I know, so unfair I have to pluck mine and he doesn’t have to do any­thing. Soooo unfair.

    @chinmai — Thank you!

    @Linguist-in-Waiting — Thanks! It just started with one pic and then we got addicted.

    @Nisha — That’s right! A+ ;-)

    @London Caller — It’s good to have dark eyes for these kind of pics, it shows better.

    @Soleil — Thanks! It’s not hard at all actu­ally once you get the trick.

    @shionge — Thank you!

    @Yogi — Thank you! It was fun to make a series.

    @Vagabonde — Merci !

    @barbara — One of us has to take the pic­ture so we are rarely both together. We should take more of us though…
