📷 Las Vegas, Nevada. United States. Dec 2008.
This was during our honeymoon in 2008 when we were staying in Europe but decided to fly to New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas for a couple trip. Yup, it was just the two of us and no kids then. 想当年, right. Haha.
Although this is just a replica of the Eiffel Tower, we did get engaged on the real Eiffel Tower a year ago so anything that bears this monument holds a special meaning to our love story.
I remember all the fun we had during that memorable holiday, how both of us fell in love with Vegas and promised that we would one day return. Well, things have certainly changed, so have our lifestyles, in the span of a decade and let's just say we prefer going on family holidays for now instead of leaving the kids behind while we travel. That doesn't mean one day we won't, but it just means we choose to patiently wait for the kids to grow up and for that time to return someday.
Perhaps some people might give us advice on how we need to carve out time for couple dates (we've only been on two or three movie dates sans the kids - after they slept - in the last 9 years) or plan for couple holidays so as to reconnect as adults and keep the spark going. I guess it's just a case of different strokes for different folks and there's no right or wrong, good or bad, no matter what we decide to do.
For now, we're just glad we have Netflix and couple movie nights on the couch. P.S. I have no idea how many shows we've watched together already. Too many to count! We just watched Bird Box this week. Anyone saw that too?
P.P.S. Reminder to self. No matter how tough married life gets, never give up on each other. Never walk away. Never forget why you fell in love in the first place.

"อีกห้าปี มันจะต่างจากตอนนี้มากเลย"
เมื่อวานบอกคนใกล้ตัวไปแบบนั้น, ห้าปีเป็นช่วงเวลาสั้นๆ เท่านั้น แป๊บเดียวก็ผ่านไปแล้ว แต่ถ้าเทียบกับเวลาในชีวิต หากใครอยู่ถึง 80 ปี ห้าปีก็จะเท่ากับหนึ่งในสิบหกของชีวิตเขา ถ้าใครมีอายุขัย 60 ปี ห้าปีก็จะเท่ากับหนึ่งในสิบสองของชีวิต
แปลว่าเราจะมี "ห้าปี" ได้ไม่เกินยี่สิบครั้ง
...Continue Reading" In five years, it will be very different from now
Yesterday, I told someone close to me that, five years is a short time. It will pass. But compared to the time in life. If anyone lives 80 years, five years, it will be equal to one of his sixteen of his life if anyone has age. 60 years and five years is equal to one of the twelve of life.
It means we can have "five years" no more than twenty times.
But the upcoming " five years " looks like five years that should be full of changes in each " five years " is different and unequal.
The last "five years" was 35-40 years. It was a time to see the change in the lives of the same generation. Think for yourself that it was the time when life started walking down from the top. We have passed the top of life. (that's 31-35 ), and in this moment, our lives slowly recession, both body, creativity, and power that we want to do things, so it's a time when people in the same age, confused and change in life.
Meanwhile, the age of 35-40 years old is a time of " starting over " like we are entering a " new part " of life. Some people may feel like starting over with something.
So I found a death from one to be reborn. It's a lot of people.
Died from being an office worker, born, being a business owner, dead from being a subordinate, being a responsible boss, died from being a nonsense, born, a father who needs to take care of the child.
If you notice well, you will find that we change the status from those who depend on other people to be independent (independent) and going back to become someone who let others.
Our new role. Besides relying on ourselves, we are also responsible for others.
Like a tree that is old enough and moving closer to death.
Some people enjoy new roles. Some people are tired of obstacles. Some people are tired of change. This is a very mischievous time.
Because even if we don't want to change, we will be forced to change at work. We may not be able to pay "adults" anymore. My boyfriend's family may rush to get married and want to get married and need to spend money to build a house or buy a house including sickness. For parents who have arrived at the age of hospital. There are many new changes that happen outside of plans.
35-40 years is very different than 31-35 years. If you watch it with time frame, it's not far away.
...
41-45 years, the body should be more broken. We should step into the disease in our body. It's not strange if some friends leave during this time or someone may encounter a disease that changed his life.
Inner soul should be more peace and boredom. This should bring change in terms of life, goals and meaning of living.
Some mental conditions may be more stressed with new burden to take care of and never used to the company that founded children, including parents with some people - change of work and family may be a new time to deal with.
All we have now. Nothing guarantees that we will stay the same when we are 45 years old. Our ability with the world. The work that we do. Parents, friends who may disband may disband because life changes including The baby that will slowly change, which will hit our lives too.
It's a " five year " that connects with people. We depend on them. We depend on us. We don't leave each other easily and we are not " Indy " like young anymore. We are not that free.
During the age of 45 years, there may be some people who feel like "leaving" all of these and walk on an empty path, but they can't leave because this is the world around us. We create. We live in it. It lives in us.
"Freedom" may be a longing again and realizing - not easy.
Of course, this is not everyone's life. If it's a rough overview that there may be some of the same point of those in the same age. Some people choose to walk different paths.
It's easy. Five years from now. Some friends will have kids. Some friends will be dealing with the change. Some friends may lose parents. Some friends may find a disease. Some friends may find that they do are done. Some friends may need to lay their hands on. Something and start over with something etc etc etc.
That friend may be me too, no one knows.
If things haven't happened in 41-50 years, it will happen in 45-50 years, our lives will look very different from now.
...
We have traveled over half way of life and have passed the bright time, full of power, including the highs of life. Yes, we can live as cheerful as young children. Teenagers won't get old, dye the head, climbing the helicopter to conquer. Ron man, things have been in another corner. We have to admit that we have traveled for a long time and others in our lives have been traveling for a long time too.
We will learn to leave and deal with it better as much as learning to start again, we will get used to the cuddle rules of feeling of happiness - suffering that happens and the rules of everything is getting better and better. I will have to go through that day. I have to go through a bit of confusing time.
Five more years, it won't look like now.
Hugging parents while they are still playing with kids when they still want to play with us. Use our body as they still allow us to use our body to take ourselves where we want to go when they can still have a conversation with Friends, when you have a chance, because someone may disappear. One day for a reason that no one knows how to take care of the lover, kiss, play jokes in the moment together. Experience the change that happens all the time and we will know what to do with ourselves and with ourselves and with people. Around the surrounding area.
It's not us who change, people around you keep changing. The world keeps changing.
Five more years, it won't look like now.
But even then, we will grow up and find the answer that all the changes are left of all the changes that we will continue to build a small one to live.
Something that I think will change big may not happen while things that I don't think will change, it may change until we can't stand up.
41-50 years. This is the moment we live in a world full of changes that we cannot control.
It all makes us realize how we should live in the midst of all this uncertainty.
I suddenly saw a melting ice cream.
So delicious. Heart is broken.
Then I put a spoon in my mouth
Not in a hurry that I didn't taste it, but it's not too slow that it's not
We will get some taste and have to let some melt away
41-50 years, a life span like ice creamTranslated

Fabrice Fouillet,
Sony世界大賽2013年職業組建築類第一名,專訪,以及他的個人網站 Project : Corpus Christi
Fabrice Fouillet is a French professional photographer based in Paris. In 2013 he won the Professional Architecture category of the Sony World Photography Awards. After earning a degree in Sociology and Ethnology, he studied Photography at The Gobelins School. Since 2004, he has been collaborating with advertising agencies and magazines focusing on Still Life and Architecture.
His personal photographic research explores the notion of identity and the close relationship between humans and the environment. Recognised for his series on new places of worship and resemblance in the 2013 Sony World Photography Awards Open Architecture category, he has gained recognition internationally.
Hi Fabrice. Tell us more about yourself - When and why did you first approach photography?
I believe my passion for photography comes from my high school studies. With courses about European cinema and art-house movies I became more sensible and passionate about themes and images in a deeper and broader sense. Then, I approached photography with a small and old camera, making basic shoots of things all around me. From my house to garden, flowers, trees, and landscape, everything became my subject and I felt I was very serious about it. At the age of 20 it appeared to me a natural thing to try and make it professionally.
Have your previous studies in sociology and ethnology influenced your investigation of space?
The education you receive at a young age influences the rest of your life and I would say that my studies not only influenced the investigation of space, but the overall way I think about my projects. At beginning, I was focusing more on still life projects while now environment and social identity interest me more and more as in the ‘Colosses’ and ‘Eurasism’ series.
Do you have a photographic philosophy?
Be truthful to your own desires and emotions for each project you make. This is my photographic philosophy as finding your own artistic path is not such an easy thing. To me the best way is to remain faithful to your passions, be inspired but not too influenced. Precision, determination, rigor, and hard work are unavoidable in photography and they also form part of my philosophy.
With your winning series ‘Corpus Christi’, capturing new spaces of worship, architecture became a way to narrate humanity and its relationship with minimalism and aestheticism. Why did you choose this theme?
I have always found a graphic quality in religious imagery and particularly in catholic iconography. As an architecture devourer, this was the starting point for this project urging me to look for evidence, confront the classical with contemporary spaces of worship, and a way to take fascinating pictures. Somehow it called me out. I saw aesthetic mystery beyond the often cold, austere and classical representation with a firm anachronism between traditional iconography and modern architecture. In ‘Corpus Christi’ I wanted to highlight this rupture between classical imagery and modern religious architecture.
You won the 2013 #SWPA Professional Architecture category. Where did this take your photography?
Being a 2013 Sony World Photography Awards winner has been a great career step forward and it helped me to span my work, gaining a lot of visibility, interviews and press coverage in France and worldwide. Thanks to the awards, The New York Times Magazine & other media companies have contacted me for architecture commissions. It was a huge satisfaction and encouraged me continue with the art and subjects I am passionate about.
What would you suggest to young photographers aspiring to make create architectural photography?
To push the button can be easy and fast, but architectural photography - and photography in general, requires strong determination. Firstly, remember that between subjects and projects there’s half of the sea. So think carefully about what and how you want to proceed. Then, be precise and rigorous, chase the light and work the frame of course. Sometimes, wait for the good moment. Try again or come back if necessary. Push the limit and don't give up even if discouragement is knocking at the door.
Talking about your new project ‘World’s Tallest Statues’ you recently stated: “I was intrigued by the human need to build these immense shrines to power”. Could you tell us more about it and how you came across this subject?
Indeed, I have just mentioned the importance of determination and these gigantic statues are the perfect example. They symbolise the strong human desire of remembrance and commemoration directly related to the size of the monument. With this project I wanted to investigate the deepest meaning of both ‘symbol’ and ‘cult of personality’ as I have always been fascinated about how historical heroes, leaders or politicians were celebrated or idealised with monumental structures for the sake of collective remembrance.
Research led me to discover lots of monument or statues dedicated to Lenin, Stalin or Mao but despite their cultural and social meaningfulness they were not that big. As the documentation went on, I unexpectedly came across the picture of a huge white statue located in the middle of Dai Kannon, in Sendai, Japan. Sadly, the picture had no caption so I first thought it was unreal, but when I had the proof of its existence, I immediately felt that these huge statues were what I wanted to talk about.
