postcard: suffering is optional

i got the quote from haruki murakami's book what i talk about when i talk about running. as for the photo, a few years back i was at this formal awarding ceremony/dinner which started way behind schedule. out of sheer boredom, i took out my camera phone and started shooting stuff on our table. this was one of the shots i got.

photo taken at the casino espanol, sept. 2006.
