Hello Guys… it was another busy Saturday for the Starbucks Crew..(my photographer friends) and it was indeed another fun shooting weekend. this was a high key from a natural light source subject is backlit with the tile wall in front of her reflects the light well.
heres Lene… shes not a Pro model but she did it quite well..
there was no Post processing done except that i correct toning and color cast.. but this Hi-key was achieve by pure camera settings.. i dont think i can achieved it again… lolzz..

Nothing much really… i just felt that i am so stagnant both creatively, mentally as well as web-log-ly lolzz.. i dont feel my creative juices flowing so freely and my mind doesnt coordinate well with my hand. Darn… boi im not really like this before. i can easily transform my thoughts into something creative and tangible. something not so permanent but it was visualized into paper, art, stone, wood and colors..
I need to change something really.. everything really felt mundane now… im all day pissed off by anything that surrounds me…

Totally out of Place…
Sorry guys, i know its totally out of place here.. too tired of capturing near perfect images.. near perfect in the sense that i have imitate nature in its truest sense with the help of that Digital box…
im going back to what i love most.. painting.. im a watercolorist and tried Oil when i was about 9 years old on my fathers atelier. after that i never touch it coz it doesnt really look good compared to my water color.
I have discovered my style and somewhat excited to try it on real pigment and oil. although i know it wont be that easy but at least i have an idea how im gonna stain that cloth with that sticky pigment.
Heres what ive got. As those Renaissance Painter overlap / repaint their canvass with multiple paintings..for we dont know what reason. this Painting* was painted over an existing abstracted Picture. do some brushes as in painting it over in a real sense of that word.
Hope you like. those who like to “Hang a Dave”- pardon the pun, you can ask for hi res image from me. Absolutely free.. :kindat: Framing and Canvas sheet Printing is on you of course.
“Poignace”
“Matilda on Lounge”
(second image breaks the column so let it be on a smaller size.)
*Painting- coz i Basically i paint it freehand. :cry2:

I didnt expect Jutine-Henin to be beaten by Maria Sharapova with a 6-0 second set… it wasn’t a typical base liner Henin i saw in her last match. She just cant place those balls on right places..
Im on MC (medical Leave) today. got this nasty cough. hope to be well soon…

I was doing my usual 3K run walk. That day was purely walk and leisurely watching the game between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer.
The first set it was Nadal lording over Ferrer, who seems to hit the ball harder and placing it out of bounds. The usual me is an underdog fan, and i think among them Ferrer is the underdog. Even if i know that those games are just as hopeless as the melted ice cream, i will surely go for the underdog… it has something to do with me as a perennial antagonist. Ferrer was hitting the bal nicely. the top spin are superb but lacking on the ball placement.
so that set goes to Nadal at 6-4.
I didnt watch it at that point, just another battered underdog.
After shower on 2nd set, Nadal leads by 2 at 1-4. i turn of the TV.
My morning indulgence is fretting my time out inside the Toilet, with a morning paper to read. The usual 10 minute shower will span for another 10minutes more. The sports section should be on page one, well that if i will become a news publisher. I was surprise to read that Ferrer rebound from that match..
i lurve his back hand!!
Vamos Ferrer!! hahahaha
