One of the iconic landmark in Kuching — General Post Office.

It’s Monday again. I have decided to make Mondays a “Picture of the Week” day. This week, I am featuring an iconic landmark in Kuching, the General Post Office. This is also a favorite shooting location for the local shutterbugs.

I still have a lot to tweak on the curent theme, and also I need to look for new image gallery plug-in to replace Simpleviewer. I hope to get this sorted out within this week.

Old vs Young, Small vs Big, Conventional Digital vs Innovative Digital

Technology changes our lifestyle everyday. With the emergence of new technology and gadgets everyday, things are just not the way they were back in the days. A decade ago, if you own a mobile phone with TFT color screen, you would be regarded one of the leading pack. In today’s world, it is a norm to see primary school kids, or event young toddlers, having iGadgets (iPhone or iPad) in their hands.

I like how the three subjects in the front row connect in this photo. The men in red, whom I believe is most senior among the three, held up his compact digital camera. A decade ago, such camera is considered luxurious item, not many can afford to buy it. Meanwhile the kid in yellow, held his iPad 2 up high, trying to compose a shot with his device, while the man in the middle looked on.

The senior used a compact, old technology, while the junior has an innovative technology at his disposal. That’s just the way it is now, isn’t it?
