I shoot-'em

It was Friday 07 Sep '07 when i offerred to help my colleague to get some shots on the next day, after she told me that our agency have yet revert to her on the photoshoot arrangement she requested. She needs the photos to be use in our coming press ad, but for me i just did it as fun shoot.

Hmm.. so lucky to have 2 handsome young men in our office on Saturday noon for the un-pro photog (ahem..me la) to shoot. Hahaha. They are young executives from our corporate clients, both are our students.

Shu Hiong a mixed (kwai-lo) have the enegetic personality while Wah Ming on the other was a little shy guy. Both of them kinda nervous during the shoot. (Hey! Can consider them for male photography model)

My 1st attempt for this kind of shoot.. too bad i do not have studio equipments.. worse i run-out of batt for my flash gun.. therefore only depends on the build-in flash.. at the same time my camera sensor was not working properly (really.. it's time to send in for check-up).. no-no-no was my lack of knowledge/experience for this kind of shoot.. look at the poor lighting & my poor skill that left obvious shadow on the pix.. plus badly focus.. not sharp enough.. sigh already done :(

Here's the results of my '1 hour' photo session with them..

I'll be back...

Sorry peeps if i have sound rude lately & also for not updating my blog as frequent 'interesting' as before.. yup i know there's a possibility that i'd lose my readers/visitors :(

Well, i've been really very stressed as u could see the way i write & what i've written in my blog. So angry.. so frustrated.. so depressed. Sigh!!

Anyway, i hope u guys/gals would still come back to check on my blog. I'll continue to share interesting stuffs here.

Thanx for those who have been here with me :)

The History of the Middle Finger

Well, a friend forwarded me something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to share it to intelligent people in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when u know something about it? Here goes the history...

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").

Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "flipping the bird."

For alternative views u can read this and this.

So, it is still appropriate salute this way today ya! Hahaha...

Bad Day - Too Good

This is cool. What’s so special about this TVC is the cute babies and the music. The idea of using babies relating to adult working life. They are so adorable that makes me smile and it makes me think about my work life. Can i have no worries?

Don't worry, be happy!

"Huggies Rock" is the title of this TVC from McCann Erickson, Israel.
