French Journal Day 31 (Travel Diary Day 111)
(travel blog - strange-lands.com/daily/2012/11/03/the-rocks-in-singapore/)
I was provisionally offered a job recently. Well, what they actually said was ‘you’re exactly the type of guy we’re looking for, let’s chat’. It would be as a ‘comedy writer’ for a new up and coming website. They found me through my blog.
The first thing I thought was ‘they find my life funny?’ Then I thought ‘how much money will they pay me?’ Then I thought ‘how much freedom will I lose?’
I’m not a particularly funny person. I write about my observations and experiences and I try to add a humorous perspective to it. I don’t think I’d be comfortable/good making stuff up or purposefully trying to be a funny guy.
My goal, as it stands right now, is to develop my career in photography in various ways. I’d love to start teaching HDR at some point but that’s a wee bit further down the line.
We’ll see what happens.
We went shopping today. Rachel told me to leave her to it because I act like a baby and shopping requires real attention. I went for a walk around Le Bugue, a small town where the supermarket is. I strolled around it twice, found 3 spots that I need to photograph at a later date, tried to convert a priest to atheism (he wasn’t interested), and sat on a curb wasting time. By the time I got back to the supermarket, Rachel only had a few tins and cereal in the trolley. I just don’t get it.
I attempted to scare Rachel today. She was drying her hair. I crept up the stairs, into the room and stood about 2 metres away just to her left. I held a blank stare. She didn’t notice me and continued to dry her hair. Resilient, I stood there and waited. It took 5 minutes before she saw me. It was the most boring joke in the world. In fairness, she nearly jumped out of her skin when she finally noticed me. I won that little duel.
Last time I tried a similar joke, I put her clothes on when she went downstairs to make a cup of tea in her old university house. She ended up chatting to her house mate for 45 minutes. I sat there miserably in a tight vest and short skirt. In the end I took the clothes off. She won that one.
Sometimes I wonder if a person who is serious about developing a reputation in photography should talk about things like this.
Today’s Photo – Some Singaporean Rocks
These rocks can be found at Changi bay. I manually blended the images so I didn’t lose any sharpness in the rocks. I was going to darken the sea and sky but decided against it. I like the blown-out look there.
