Biking in the afternoon sun
These were taken yesterday when I was biking on Edgewood Ave. in Atlanta, GA. This area, the famous Little Five Point, is one of the most culturally diverse and dynamic areas in metro Atlanta.

Portraits
I really like what I did with these two portraits. They were both meant to be snap shots shot on my iPhone. I PSed them then using a PS iPhone app. The results were surprisingly good. I guess both of them have very good composition and good lighting, which are the key elements that make good iPhone photos.
One more.
One more.
Detroit from GM headquarter
I took this in the elevator of one of the towers in the huge complex. The elevator was so fast going down that I missed the most breathtaking view from the 30th floor. Instead, I got this, which is still beautiful though.
I took these two looking out of the media studio of GM.

Podcasts Worth Your Time
These three poscast/radio programs are all produced by Public Radio International (PRI) and they are among my favorite English podcasts.
To the Best of Our Knowledge
This podcast features interviews with authors writing on fascinating topics from CIA's "economic hitman" to natural foods, from craftsmanship to slave pottery maker and poet, from scrapbooks in the early 20th centry to the "Jazz ambassadors" during the Cold War... Didn't know I'd be interested in such a diversity of topics.

The World in Words
I know I'm a geeky language student, but this is truly an interesting podcast by any standard. It's one of the programs of the World series and talks about topics related to languages and society, politics, psychology, learning... It's funny, informative, and gives you something to reflect on. Highly recommended!

Selected Shorts
The episodes are recorded live at the Symphony Space in New York. The readers are often professional actors and the short stories are selected from a wide range of authors. It's now my private bedtime story reader.
