Lincoln Library, hosted the International Fest last weekend. The purpose of this annual event was to celebrate the dynamic multiculturalism of the Springfield area. This was also an opportunity for me to carry my camera and take some impromptu or rather candid photos as I walked around the different infromational tables and learned about some of the different cultures that are presently residing in this city.
I was totally taken by this "magical" exercise book. According to the lady explaining to me, this book, an eco-friendly reusable no ink Chinese Calligraphy exercise book, while very expensive, has become extreemly popular. It is not used in the classrooms because of its high cost, but those who can afford it swear by it. No more reems of paper being wasted. The caligraphy brush is dipped into water, then a word is written in each of the practice areas. Once the "ink" has dried, the word dissapears allowing the writer to practice the technique again.

You got some good ones. Looks like the sun was a bit harsh
ReplyDeleteThe light was really bad and I had taken my zoom lens which does not do a great job with low light.
