Goodbye 2009

Those days are long gone, but we will forever treasure our fond memories together.

One Night at a DVD Store

...and she found what she was looking for. ;)

A Whole New Canvas

At these troubled times when I don't have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my mac, I thought I'd use Pixelmator as a temporary alternative to work on my photos. Not bad, really. The interface is pretty much identical to Photoshop, but it isn't a resource hog, which I like. Sometimes its best not to depend heavily on one photo editing tool.

Chill

After a long day at work, an evening out with friends has always been the best sanctuary to let off steam and catching up old times, before another day rolls in. It's like a cycle, but what would we do without an evening out?

Further Experimentation

Since I'm no longer unemployed now, I need to juggle up time between work, photography and blogging. Anyway, here are more pictures taken from last week's photoshoot with the Featuring Dancers in the evening of The Empire Hotel & Country Club. Just some different design experiments I've been working on these past few days, something to keep this blog occupied while I'm still trying to re-organize things and adapt myself in the working life.

Revamped And Revived

At last, all the tedious post-processing work is finally completed. Now I'm up for some tweaking and revamping on some of the photos I took from the photoshoot last Monday. I was thinking of reviving Aura and turn the image above into a concept design of a magazine front cover. Presto!

Featuring Dancers Photoshoot

Yesterday's photo-shoot at Empire Hotel was a success, thanks to these photogenic dancers all the way from UBD. It's been awhile since my last model photo-shoot and I'm glad I had another round yesterday for these guys. The whole strobing was really fun.

After Dark

Garden Kitty

Arghh! These things, they just kept multiplying in my house like rabbits! Anyway, here's one which happens to be my personal favorite. I haven't got a name for him or her yet. In fact, I haven't figured out if it's a he or a she. I guess time will tell.

Viva La CS3

At these jobless times, the one thing that's been keeping me occupied is acquiring new techniques in image editing, which I think I still need to brush up, so I made a little experimentation on my stock photos and did my magic. Nothing beats multitudes of layers and brushes to achieve a gritty surreal imagery of a busy night street scene in KL. I should travel more and do this more often. Long live CS3!

Post-Processing In Session

Apologies for the slow updates these past few days. I've been out and about in one day, and in my room the entire time the next day. Currently I've got tons of photos in need of processing which explains why I've been locking myself in my room in order to complete the job. Post-processing pictures sure takes a lot out of me. It's not really something you'd enjoy doing when you've got over 1,000 pictures to edit. And I thought going digital is gonna make life much easier than those darkroom days.

Such busy schedules ahead of me, but I should be able to juggle up time between updating my blog, photography and other stuff I'll be dealing with throughout the upcoming days. Ooh, and we just left the 1st month of the year, it happened so quick.

Spring Cleaning

I've been procrastinating on cleaning my room these past few weeks. Well attachment's over and now's the perfect time for it. I've got a lot of stuff that has been occupying space on my desk in my room, particularly those gadgets and photography magazines that has been piling up.

I really need to clear up space for my workspace and get things more organized on my desk. My desktop PC is now up and running and I'll be using it solely for post-processing my images, so I need a more spacious environment since I'll be spending more time in my room during those image editing moments. Perhaps in the future I could turn my room into a mini studio.
