Photog

So I remember... photography is one hobby I want to take on someday in the future.


There is just something in a great photo that captures a great moment and just wonderful details that is difficult or impossible to analyze with the eye in the same time frame. And of course the great stories behind them...


" Fingertrips"
Anatoliy & Kate. Zurich, Switzerland. September 27, 2009

With no formal lessons yet on photography... so far for me, the best photo I have taken is this shot of Anatoliy and Kate along the banks of river Limmat in Zurich. As far as I remember, Anatoliy told me to take photos of Kate (his girlfriend) for him... Aww so sweet. So here I was being the personal paparazzi for Anatoliy. And at one point along our day in Zurich, when our other friends told the two to pose for a shot... I saw a moment that was picture perfect, and lucky enough, I was able to press the shutter button at the perfect instant.

Also, this photo poses a question... When I was able to level properly on the horizontal stone at the bottom of the photo.. How come the rest of the background is slightly angled downwards? Okay, now I realize, the stone is angled downwards, the roofs and houses should be the proper leveling guide I have used. Okay... so that's one more thing that makes this photo great, it has imperfections ready for disposal for the audience who may even deem this as an imperfection.

Among the great smiles, poses, angle, color, lighting, and focus which I like in this photo, I especially adore the detail of Kate's finger tips grasping Anatoliy's. It explains so much.

The following days... I saw this photo on Kate's notebook computer, it was her wallpaper. Awesome.

And of course, as an artist who appreciates appreciation... it puts a smile on my face when I see people appreciating the photo I've taken.

Hobby: Photography. Okay. This photo was taken using Canon PowerShotA610 which was stolen in Madrid last December 26, 2009.

Canon PowerShot A610

With over 500 photos during my first 3 days in Spain... when I got to Barcelona, I had no camera. Darnit. This A610 had been my camera for 4 years and had taken over 10,000 photos.... maybe even 15,000. Sulit na. But the fantastic photos lost... Uhhh...

Canon PowerShot SX110

I will go full throttle on this hobby some day, right now it's me and my Canon PowerShot SX110 which I got myself last year for my 22nd birthday... good thing it has CHDK so I can bend the settings to my will.

I am actually a great photographer, it's just that for now I am not one yet.

All We Need is Love, Art & Each Other

Back then, when I was squabbling along Damm Square in Amsterdam in Holland, I took this photo of two guys playing music. Who knows... they could be artists just trying to wander around with their music or something else.... Anyway, I just thought of putting a caption to this...



"We don't have much except for the clothes we wear and this music box we play, but I have you, we have each other, and you have me... simple as it may seem... together, that is all we need to play the music of love."

Hmm... it doesn't sound right... anyway that is not the f'n point.

Plan C

So today I got fed up.

This is wasting my time.
As the over achiever that I am... this is humiliating me to myself.

For the next few weeks I'll be working in our home business.
and a few weeks later I am planning to work for free in a restaurant in the Fort.

In cordial preparation to Plan B which is well on its way though I got a notice that Plan A is still a hanging thought.

And another plan came up. Plan C.
CIA.

Excuse my French but.. putain ! je veux que ce "PLAN A" se terminer deja!!! putain. ça me coute trop de temps déjà!!

No, my emotions are not getting over me, its just the way plans are going to unfold.

Edward Theorem

"Have we been hiding from each other? I wonder..." - Rod, Avenue Q

I was in the gym, doing my thing... Prepping my stuff and somethin' somethin'. And he approaches me. "Hey, matagal ka na ba nagygym dito?" - with a smile, and he was kinda pretty. And gee, he was wearing white undies only.

"Mga ilang months na din... ikaw?"

"Ah, ngayon lang ako nandito... nagpapaspa lang ako, binigyan kasi ako ng friend ko ng GCs kaya ginagamit ko today..."

"Ahh... Parang ngayon lang kita nakita dito.... Naggygym ka ba? San ka ba galing? What do you do?"

"I work in Singapore, ngayon lang ako nandito kasi vacation ko, I work out sa fitness first pero dun sa Singapore. Mukha nga... maganda na katawan mo..."

"Huh... not really... madami pa kong kelangan iwork out... tingnan mo to..." Here I found myself showing him a portion of my body... "Diba...?"

"Hindi.. ok nga eh..."

.... (and we talk about each other's life for a few solid minutes) ....

then suddenly....

"Hey by the way I'm Edward nga pala..." Said with a sweet smile, with the looks of his eyes sharp enough to pierce through my soul...

"I'm Joey..."

And we shook hands... a handshake that was revolting enough that it solidly made me feel a strange rush of embarrassment, and it seemed that he did as well...
