Colorful Text Message

Well it was nice to spend a couple of days with everyone on Flickr again! Now it is back to work and school for another week. I am uploading a bit of an eclectic set today,with the only common thing being COLOR! This is a shot of Lily checking her text messages for the 23rd time this day. Folks in this part of China are really into text messaging but hardly anyone has voice mail! I KNOW! It's is difficult to believe but you can actually survive without voice mail! The wall really does look like this, but I did pump up the light a little. I have mentioned this wall before, it's the one that will soon be torn down to make room for the highest building in Guangxi. See below for more info.

I think the phenomena of text messaging is huge all over Asia. But mainly for personal use. Business, by and large, still relies on v-mail.

Love the Miro-esque art, BTW.

Now off ye to work/school/real life. Catch up with you next weekend!

Great photo, love the way Lily just adds that extra splash of colour.

(It reminds me of Ian Lloyd's photography - check him out, if you don't know of him, he is a National Geographic photographer that lives in SE Asia)

I hate voicemail. Can be so frustrating chasing voicemail messages around in circles. Will have to get used to it when I go back home.

Great colorful wall and nice use of Lily to complete a great photo. Yes, the Chinese love their text messages and also answer the phone anytime anywhere (so no need for voicemail).

Really like it - I know that perhaps it is a bit of a departure for you - but its simplicity and context really work for me - Great stuff (yet again)

What a wonderful composition with Lily sitting there and the road as a border. The splash of hot pink and green throws in some spice. The wall is just so beautiful!
