Papa, don't preach....

... I'm in trouble deep.

Okay, I'm seriously swamped with website projects now, both professionally and for my own. Sadly, my knowledge only extends to uploading photos and videos and writing. I can think of layouts and such but webbies get paid for what they do; there's no intuitive way I've come across that allows me to create websites easily.

I'm looking for someone to help me out. Particularly, I have the company website to move over, and I have a new blog up to detail my steps in my film-in-progress, and finally, my new wordpress blog.

I have half a mind to use my leave just to complete everything. Knowing me, I'll probably be off jacking it. Meh.

In other news; I'm dating. :):):)

Shooting for Typical Ben
Monday, March 09, 2009 | 0 comments  
Ben called me last week to help him out with taking pictures for his store. Between our usual CAPSLOCK SHOUTING MATCH at each other, he briefed me on what he wanted for the shoot.

It was going to pretty simple and I wanted to do it because I've never done this before. Besides, it's Ben. Need there be another reason?

Armed with nothing but a six-meter-long piece of cloth and my camera, we shot in the confines of a wall and a pleasantly brightly lit room. We were lucky this time.

I think the shots came out better than I expected.

Photobucket
One of the first few shots of the shoot.

I shot, in total, of 168 pictures. Ben had two bags of clothes and the model went through the whole thing. We did everything in about two hours or so. By the time we were done, it was midnight... on a freaking Thursday! I have camp the next day!

For the record, I did get to camp on time.

Red, grey, and white. I like this palette.

I stayed over at his place that night. I felt like a king, really. And I greatly appreciate the gesture. Indeed, I felt embarrassed at the great hospitality the household showed me. Thanks, Ben!

Daddy is charming. Mine isn't.

These are only those I got a hand to edit back at my own desk over the weekend. Head over to The Typical Store to see other shots. It's awkward, I know, and so not me, but I found a few of the jackets pretty interesting.

I think I might want to explore portrait photography even more!

The Moment Before Fame.

My little piece of history.

Over at that seat. Flashing lights, booming beats.
High on the gallery, behind camera fleets.
I've been here before.

Up on the beam. In the bowels of a battleship.
Sweat. Rust. Bitter taste of rope string.

Now here I am. Dressed up. Front, center.
Laughing. Smiling. Perfume in a can.
I've been here before.

Closed My Eyes
Friday, February 27, 2009 | 0 comments  
The rattle of a closing aperture. The film slows down.
Born again, dancing, in the shoes of a legend.

In this fantasy, you are a reality.

And I never want to leave.

Only in the confines of my room can I bring myself to familiar worlds unknown.
I never want to leave.

What Camera Is This?
Friday, February 20, 2009 | 0 comments  
I was about to clean my room when I found a box that contained this gem.

Photobucket
See, this is why my room will never be clean. There's so much shit to look at.

I think it's a Lomo camera. I received this as a free gift from... Tampines Mall... sometime in 2001.

I thought it was a bloody toy so I chucked it in a corner.

Photobucket

The question is... what kind of Lomo camera?

Photobucket
Ah, film!

I'm going out to buy a roll of 400ISO film to test this thing out. Will post the results over the weekend.

Experimental Video: Silent Dancer
Monday, February 16, 2009 | 0 comments  
This is the first video I've put together after a two-year hiatus.

In writing, I hide the true meaning of my words with awkward metaphors and subtle hints. This film tries to replicate that through its rhythm, shot selection and style. My strength has never been in creating fanciful flashy designs.



This one's dedicated to our very good friend. Take one for the road.
