This week’s topic in photo theme for Thursday is “TOOLS” (Hammer, Saw, Frying Pan, Fork, Spade, Rake, Broom, Duster, Paint Brush, Pencil,…). After I had read the examples, I decided that chinese dao, which translates to knife (or broadsword) is acceptable choice for this theme. Some people use these knives in Kung Fu, but I personally use them in taiji (under Master Tung Kay Ying).

This blog went through minor change, when I inverted colors in a WordPress theme from black text on white background to white text on black background. Reason for this experiment is that I wanted to try out whether photographs look better on black background or if it is simply urban myth.

Latest photo of a week should provide you good comparison point, because I have article with same photographs in here as well as in my finnish site, which still has black text on white background (and sidebar on left instead of right side of screen).

All feedback about this change would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
