52 weeks : Week 5

.... they're not my most favourite flower but their charm is not lost on me.

I do however have peculiar taste in them. I would never wear fully bloomed jasmine. I love the unopened fresh bunch because the tighter the buds the longer it lasts in your hair without turning brownish in colour.

I just love the feel of the little tight buds carressing my skin as I flip my hair around. A little quirk I guess ;p

pourquoi faut-il toujours que les pelotes s'emmêlent ?

It only takes a couple days for the beach haze to sink in. The

longer I stay in the sun, the fuzzier I feel.

We spent three hours on the beach again today, the adults

being hyper alert because of the rip currents, the kids never

leaving the water, except to wipe the sand out of their eyes

when the waves whacked them.

We're off to play some sort of fancy mini-golf (the sets are

amazing!), and then it's dinner (on Dad) at Mancini's,

one of my favorite restaurants of all time because of the

incredible Caesar salad, which, sadly, I can't have. (But I

might have to cheat, like I'm cheating with a beer.)

(For 365 Days. This is Day 306.)

That must have been the best cigar I've ever had. You know they dip the cigar in rom just before lighting. And you should never use cigar cutter, only your fingernails. At least that's what I was told and Cubans should know, right?

My day was good. I was a little tired at work.

a self potrait in the toilet - yikesss!

i had been wanting to do this for quite sometime but couldn't find a toilet deserted enough to compose the shot

olympus mju II + lomo xpro 200

Dağda dolaşırken yakma kandili

Fersiz gözlerimi dağlama gurbet

Ne söylemez akan suların dili

Sessizlik içinde çağlama Gurbet..

Titrek parmağınla tutup tığını

Alnıma işleme kırışığını

Duvarda emerek mum ışığını

Bir veremli rengi bağlama Gurbet..

Gül büyütenlere mahsus hevesle

Renk renk dertlerimi gözümde besle

Yalnız annem gibi o ılık sesle

İçimde dövünüp ağlama GURBET

No...not with myself silly. I'm talking about my new vertical grip for my camera. Just got it in the mail yesterday. Slapped that sucker on my 10D and instantly fell in love with it. It's gonna be nice not having to swap out batteries as often. Definitely makes taking pictures in portrait mode a lot easier.

Just realized how similiar this is to sesame ellis' shot. Except her small head makes her camera/grip look gigantic, while my fat head makes my camera/grip look tiny. :D

在你眼裡，或許我有點可愛。

在你眼裡，或許我有點才華。

在你眼裡，或許你讚許我口才。

而在你眼裡，你也許見到我的熱情。

但其實，

真實的我，

什麼都不是，

如同照片中的我，

確切的碎裂而不完整。

又或許，

大哭一場就會好了。

但我再也無法拼湊出，

你和你你眼中的我了。

Relaxing

I missed some of last night's early gathering with King's X and Extreme because the Ram's Head wouldn't let me in. There were only two press passes left at the desk, and even though mine was supposed to be one of them (we checked before leaving Towson), two other photographers got in right away, leaving me stranded for about thirty minutes outside.

The Camp's operations VP kept asking me to wait just a little while longer, but it was apparent that no one was actually *trying* to get me a pass (how hard is it to open a drawer or just say—let her use the Rock Camp badge?), and I didn't understand why she wouldn't just let me in the venue, at least until they could walk a pass over to me. I had a ticket in my bag (they'd given me a free one), but the hall was filled with Rock Camp people, and everyone knew I was with them. I know I didn't tick off anyone. I was perfectly nice and out of the way the whole time.

But it all worked out, I guess. And then I went home and fell down. The end.

I can dress myself. Occasionally I put my shirt on backwards. Yesterday I had on two different color socks. heh

Retrato Julio 2008

I hate taking selfies. By the time I've brushed my teeth in the morning I've had my quota of looking at myself for the day :)

Daha güçlü,daha sakin

Daha mutlu,daha suskun

Daha olgun,daha kırgın

Daha yalnız,daha yorgun

Selfpotrait

This is my Dreaming series, where I have created Self- portraits. I have used my Self in these images as I am often full of Photo ideas, but it always seems to be a challenge finding a model when I need them, and I did not want my inspiration to run low.

I was feeling very artistic and grabbed my Camera and tripod and started shooting these images.

"Andrà tutto per il meglio.Come sempre."

Speriamoci! :D (disperata per l'esame di logica :S )

"It will be for the better.As always."

Let's hope it's true! :D (desperate becouse of the logic exam)

I totally suck in self potraits... really want to work on that..n i know i've got a long long way to go :-D

A day in my life - 1

Last Friday I decided to take part in the a day in the life of (dilo) group.

Basically you had to try to shoot for a day. Well I usually do not shoot on weekdays or at work coz lets face is most offices are boring. So I decided this would be an excellent challenge and started shooting at 2.30am on 20th of March 2008.

So check out each shot (the rest will come later) to see a typical day in my life.

I wrapped up shooting at 4 am. Oh yes if it was a indoor portrait, it was definitely shot in the middle of the morning ;p

2.30am – 4.00 am – SP shoot

ps : can you see the outline of a face in the darkness? i could see it while i was processing the shot but not after I uploaded to flickr

52 weeks : week 35

August 25, 2016

I had a good day. Work was good. The state fair started today!

"So when your hope's on fire

But you know your desire

Don't hold a glass over the flame

Don't let your heart grow cold

I will call you by name

I will share your road."

I'm learning things lately. Who my real friends are, how to love myself more, and what I want to do. In my heart I'm far away from all the pain that has been in my life this year; I'm in my future. I'm traveling the world, taking pictures and writing beautiful stories about the people I meet and see.

I must hold hope.
