Foundation day.

Was woken up by Elizabeth at around 7am. I somehow forgot that she hired me. XD
The travel took some time. And I got there at her school some time after 10am.
Listened to Versailles while I was waiting for something cool to happen. Then they were called by the MC because they just effin' won a dance contest (or something like that...) And they were asked to perform.




And we had a little shoot afterwards.











Then I thought of going to New Bilibid Prison. Because I love it there.
Of course I love the sky and the clouds that go with it...

...and crosses...

...and the epic sun. [f30 1/4000s 55m ISO100]






And I went home afterwards. ^_^

Myo'Hako

Met Rev and Des in Robinson's Santa Rosa. Waiting for the band.
Being gay as they already are


Got into a band rehearsal studio and covered a Versailles'.





I was longing for hot chocolate...


And oh... Myo'Hako plays J-Rock.

DRRR!! shoot and UPLB Movie forum

The January 29 shoot started some hours after lunch.
I met the HCC and they were really fun guys! ^_^

And... as usual... photos were shat instead of words. (This is turning into a Food x Photo blog)

Kit Lens (The normally good shots)
I love the sky.








Another biased shot of the sky... with people in the frame.







The custom lens. (If you don't like soft blurs and spherical aberrations, skip the next set.)
Well... yeah, so some people really hate lens aberrations... but I dig them. They kinda make an accidental out-of-focus blur around the edges (it adds effect... and I like it, whether you like it or nada.)... and I had to destroy the correcting element of a lens to achieve that.






That ends the photo shoot day.
[All photos are, as usual, slightly post-processed: brightened/darkened and adjusted saturation.]

NEXT DAY!
Was teaching day... and was invited over at UPLB for a movie. Movie was Sarung Banggi, an indie-film shown in Cinemalaya way back 2006 or 2007 starring the ever so talented miss Jaclyn Jose and a young actor named Angelito... forgot the surname and too lazeh to google it. Left ParaƱaque at around 6pm and arrived at UP at 8:30pm. Got seated and the screening started.


The directors of the movie held a short but very informative forum afterwards (it was very entertaining too). Hope I could start shooting on le short movie project we've planned some months before... -___-"
Learned lots! The price a paid for the ticket (and the looong travel) was very much worth it.
