Golden ‘Nigz’ Rong

So tomorrow is December 31st, that means the new year is around the corner.
Shiet, that was a fast year. I dont rememeber half my resolutions from last year. But i did remember that i’d get into art school, and 3 1/2 would make something.
I’m not going to make any new year’s resolutions this year, cause i know ima be doing this again next year, hopefully.
But here’s a year’s worth of images. It’s going to be my 12 best images one from each month. I hope ya’ll enjoy.

January- This is quite possibly one of my favorite pieces. It’s a lot of my childhood dreams, of believing in all these crazy sci-fi things with the light sabers and my chance to become a jedi and such.

I guess this is pretty self exclamatory, but for those of you who don’t know. This is the heart of Chinatown, or what i consider the heart.

March- Janet cut school to go to the Met to help me with my museum report. This part of the museum, was covered in tiny little aluminum foil wrappers all making this weird looking pattern. Photography was prohibited, but being the daring motherfucker that I am, I was able to snap this one shot. I guess i partitioned art? Thanks Janet.

April- This was from my first encounter with Taiyo. That day his song Lovely To Me (Immigrant Mother) had me tearing, the song was quite powerful and touching. It was the first time this ever happened. I enjoy listening to his music, and I have had the luck to hang out with him, when i had a photo shoot with him. Another thing, the day i met him, I didn’t have money to buy his album, so he gave it to me, and said “Pay me back next time.” None the less, I paid him back when I saw him at Lincoln Center. Thanks for all the help Taiyo.

May- This was from one of my last days at the Brook. It was the beginning of the hot weather. Being spontaneous, me and my brothers decided to have a bbq. This photo evokes many memories, and I personally love it. Pertaining the title as Avedon said, “…All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.”

June- This is where the photographic talent well had a monsoon. Also when i began encountering, clouds. Before this, I never particularly noticed clouds, and the interesting forms and shapes and such. I had entered this photo in American Photo’s Photo of the year competition. I guess it didn’t have much relevance to popular media. However, i still love this photograph.

July- Independence Day, this was my first time going out and trying to photograph the national holiday. I had staked out my spot and went with Allen and Janet. It was pretty muggy that day, got there like 7 hours early, sat talked, did retarded things (light drawings, slap jack, ask Allen if he was going to finish that, Etc.) The wait was well worth it, we got a bench and moved it under a tree so the rain couldn’t get to us, but enough so that we could see the fireworks. It was pretty swell day, besides losing my nice Sennheiser headphones.

August- Me and Kingston had just recently joined the M.A.D. dragonboating team. It was much different from our previous team, ConEd. Things were more intense, practice was more frequent, and they had their own fancy marina! Before practice one day, Kingston and I had arrived early and I saw the cloud formations, and it was really interesting. This was the beginning of the end of summer.

September- Taken on September 10th. This was the day before the 7 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th. The two beams of light that pierced through the night sky were up. I tried my best without a tripod, but looking back I wonder if the image would’ve looked better with a tripod or as it is.

October-Grandpa, I had just started SVA. the assignment was the photograph someone you loved. So I photographed the man who had raised me for years, my Grandpa. This is my favorite photo of him that i have ever taken. He is in his last year of being an octogenarian, and may he keep living on.

November- I was working on a set of photos with an idea, that was experimental and not yet refined, and i need to further refine it. But, i got this shot of Janet at 1 in the morning underneath the BQE in Williamsburg. * Originally i had another photo chosen for November, however, it was a bit risque for the internet, and I did not want to cause trouble with my friend who the photo was of, so if your curious, ask me and i’ll show you, i guarantee it won’t disappoint.

December- It ain’t over yet, but December, had brought a lot of odd things. This was from my therapeutic walk down the Hudson. Happenly, I ran into more clouds, but this was just amazing, how nature was on display. Also, this was my first photograph I have ever sold. The price doesn’t matter but it was SOLD!

Photographic Resolution: Get better, Keep learning, Understand Color, Get better at portraits, and never give up.

Special Thanks to everyone who’s helped me with my photographs this year!

Found this while browsing the good ole tube.  I don’t know her name, i believe it is Kay, but i don’t know.  This song is beautiful, it brought me back to memories of times before.  Song had me pretty emotional people, gosh.  Oh how time flies by.  I know i’m going to regret saying it, but can’t wait till summer.

I was suppose to wake up at 7, suppose to meet Janet at 8 at Roosevelt.  That was suppose to happen, I woke up at 8:44, and I showed up at Roosvelt at 9:30.  When I got there, Janet really needed to pee.  Amazingly, she was able to hold in her pee for 30-45 minutes or longer.  Had morning porridge at Good Ole Fu-Wong. Got that Seafood congee, ahh good ole Fu-Wong.

Afterwards we headed over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Yes, I made her cut school to go to the Met, haha. I had to go see a piece for my museum report. While wandering in the Met, I finally found the cool Modern art spots, not that bullshit shit. Saw Warhol’s work which i was like its alright, its cool looking. I loved Mao though.

I also saw Chuck Close works. I have to say, he gives modern art a good name, i can’t say bout the rest of the stuff in the museum. But Chuck Close’s painting’s are really fucking amazing, its soo real, and it actually looks like a photograph. Then his special grid style paintings, holy shit, its really amazing.  But those fucks who copied his style for the art competition are a bunch of fags for not being original.

Saw this cool stuff on walls made of the like foils, took an illegal photo of the exhibit.

Saw a light that every asian has in their household put diagonally, as i do, with lights i took a photo.

Then Janet had to show me the Gustav exhibit, and Origin of the World. This guys work is amazing, its so real, and its funny, and its just great. Usually the Met is alright, but Gustav exhibit you gotta go see it.  Also it is amazing how he self taught himself photography, the guy was int he 1800’s man 18 freaking hundreds.  Here is his painting called, Orgin of World.  It may be a litle vulgar for those who can’t handle this.

Amashing!!!

Doing my paper on this.

Then, we left, cause i had to go to work. Janet waiting at coat check.

Then we took some photos in the area.



Went to work, and i got my old kids again, their pretty cool. This kid is no n00b though, hes a level 70!!! Who fights for the horde.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a girlfriend.  I’ve liked a few people, but not enough to really go for it and give it my all.  I guess its just the fact that i can’t really give myself out to really truely show a person who i am.

I see people getting relationships left and right, stay in relationships that hurt them, be with people they dont really want to be with.  But it happens, thats life.

I consistently interact with females.  I talk to them, think about them.  But theres only a few that really stick to my mind.  the ones that do, are only they cause they interest me or they can make me smile when i’m sad.

Right now theres one on my mind.  Shes been in and out of my life.  Mostly Out.  The moments she’s in, my life is just simple it all makes sense.  I don’t worry, i just enjoy my time with her.  Things feel better.  But when i look again i realize, i’m just the fool letting her in.  I shouldve shut the door, i should never have tried to re connect with her.  It only gives me more on my mind to think, more to worry about when shes gone.  Soo the basic purpose of this is to say

I GOT MY FUCKING DRIVER’S LICENSE MOTHERFUCKERS

Awesome first official day of Spring Break. Well Day and a half actually.

Came back yesterday on the good ole LIRR, almost missed that shit but made it just in time, cause I’m sexy like that. The ride was decent, slept didnt get robbed sounds successful.

Soon as i got home, i dropped my shit, got ready to go out to the hood. I went handle some business, my Road test is wednesday! hope i pass. I was at CPC, working making that bread. Afterwards went on the errand run with Louie, Allen and Adley. When we got to Uniqlo, Allen went nuts and tried to buy everything out of the store. Then we headed back to Chinatown without Allen and got food at Big Wong. Miss the Chinatown food na mean. Saw Louie Chalk it up.That’s a drawing of Adley haha.

Today went out to meet Kingston and Debby to get my macbook pro power charger adapter thing cause i forgot mine. I called Olivia out while waiting for Kingston and Debby. Suprisingly she wasnt doing anything soo i was like =O. While i was wandering round Columbus Park taking care of some assignments, I ran into Nick and Jeff OMG. So we started playing football with some of their friends. We Won 7-6, cause of my amazing play calling and pass. The play was Bitch Left right up down middle side. Jeff or Nick caught it, forgot but we fucking won.

Then we were hungry decided to go out and eat. New Chao Chao restaurant on Mott, not bad, it was pretty good. Then Olivia Showed up. =O omg Olivia. Haven’t seen her in ages, missed her much. soo afterwards we went back to columbus park.

However this time my team was, Nick, Jeff, Janey, Chris, Olivia, and I (Thank you Nick). We went against 5 guys. We gave them a pretty good game. We had a good come back. We were down at one point 5-2. We came back and lost 7-6. But you know what Olivia and Janey did really good. Heres some Action shots. Chris isn’t in this cause he’s taking the photo after he cramped up his calf.

Sat at Hudson River park watched the Sun go down, and realized it was starting to get cold. then spontaneously decided to go watch The Other Boeyln Girl. It was decent, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. HOT. The movie was decent, its not one of those movies ull always remember but it wasnt horrible like Gigli status.

Hello to all my loyal reader(s). What up all my fellow humans. I have not been up to much, i gotta design a shirt. If anyone knows where i can get shirts printed for cheap and well let me know, its like 20 something people.

So I have not been so angry lately. Whoa?! i was really pissed about my blog being down, but my name Allen got it back up. Since i have noo good material, I am going to tell you about my hair cut.

If you look back to my Im Back, entry which is down there, u will see that my hair was quite long. Well for my standards anyway. Soo I met up with James, Jose, and the Du. We went to a place called Nunez.

Now you have to understand, I am use to getting my hair cut in Chinatown with my peoples. They knows hows I likes it. Soo When i go to a place called Nunez, its like, “Dorthy, you aint in Kansas no more.”

So i go in sit down, the barber who is free. I have never been to a barber outside of Chinatown say i says to james, what do i get? He gave his opinion, and soo i got a tape up and a cut on the top. But I like my hair short, soo when the ladies rub it they goo “OMG YOU HAVE THE SOFTEST HAIR EVER.”

Soo he gives me a tape up, and im like cool, when the fuck is he cutting my hair? A tape up is a complicated fucking process. Its like he cuts everything down, then uses a razor to get it right. Then he might give u a cut. How am i suppose to know fucking a tape up just meant they fix the outline. Its like wtf, man i pay 12 dollars to get my hair cut not outlined.

Soo the barbers doing his thing and im like yoo can u cut the top down, and hes like alright and then i have to ask again, and hes like ok, and i can see hes getting a bit aggrivated. I AM FUCKING SORRY I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING. He cut it down, and like i was like yea can u make the sides down too. its like common man im trying to get my Jordan Chan going on.

So he finally gets it to a good level. Its not as short as i want but it looks good.

Like my new hair cut?

yea soo yea then i found a cool army navy store pretty neat. sells gernades and such. Well yea thats about my hair cut.

So until next time peace and love, all people of all colors.

I am Back and less angry but willing to get more just for the purpose of blogging!

more to come after i come back from business.
