咖啡と攝影

"My bookshelf" by Tomas Lee using his new Pentax 
— with 1968 Alain Delon pencil drawing 一九六八 亞蘭德倫鉛筆畫像
 今天用妹妹買的一個法國製平底鍋炒,火比較烈,咖啡香味跑掉很多。
中庸之道處處適用。炒咖啡猶如炒菜。不能過火。

Tomas Lee, photographer
Had a plan to read (really hard) these Japanese 2nd world war history books 
— but, haven't done a thing yet.
