in hindsight, howie won this round and .. big round of applause. it was fun.

pictures here.

i have a couple of real photography stints and i finally understood client demands and creative pride. i mean, it is always easy to say that we will strive to meet client’s demands, but when your work is up for scrutiny and they are not satisfied, it is another story. especially when you have had put in effort to make it the best you could and you are good to show. i finally understood why some creatives are so difficult to work with. because to be able to take harsh criticisms and yet get over yourself in order to hear others, this is no easy feat. i keep reminding myself that criticism is a way to learn and improve for the next project to come, but i should not reduce myself to a ‘yes’ person too. i have my vision for the work and i have to protect it. it’s a fine balance and a very dangerous fence to be on. it could topple either way. i just need to learn, good or bad. it’s never easy to run your own show. with the new job coming and impending school, guess it’s time management seriously. keke. and of course, my friends and loved ones not to neglect.

i have a long way and sometimes i am too impatient to want to learn everything fast. i need to chill abit and take things slower.

two more shoots within the next few days… one client based and one for a friend’s wedding where i want to observe, learn and take candid shots. i think it will be fun. i am excited.

have you come across moments in life, when you really want to share with someone but you hold back badly? it could be daily moments like sharing a joke, a lameass thought as you walk on the streets, something you see and you know he or she will like, a mundane story that he or she will roll eyes at you… you know.. those crazy but simple moments..

so what does this mean?

support!

awesome la.

pfffff.  okay i suck at it big time. so awesome right. so much so i haven’t won a game! i need to level up quick! hehe.

oh well.

Taurean’s eye. He is watching you.

maybe.

and catch all the indie gigs.

Life is meaningless without ‘self respect. You need to look at yourself and be proud of what you see.’

so, how many people have lost it? i think quite many… except that these people would never admit. .. which is strange, because how does one live without it?
