Dear Aver was not really in the mood today, thus we cut the shoot short.... but with her photoshop skills ...we actually did rather well.

Drawers

Rolls upon rolls of vertical drawers,
Where men try to climb.
The submit of the colony,
To claim rights divine.
Strolling along sand filled streets,
till chance do they meet.
Swirling their stick like hands in motion for food,
The right to mate and land.
In Coloured match boxes they scurried forward.
Thru life to death,
The soulless march.
Painted faces, forgotten names.
Just a number, a statistics.... what a shame.
On and on the ferris wheel turns.
Light, images and sound into the mind they burn.
Steeping forward thru the window.
onto the hands of time.
who will forget you and continue to chime.
A forgotten name.......
they all sigh.

Aver

Love is a wonderful thing.
I was like a lost sheep for so many years of my life......
wandering around without an aim.......
Losing track of time and traces of my sanity as the sands of time slips bymy hands.
It is very hard to remain sane when the people around him do not understand.
You will always be that unrealistic dreamer ........
Someone who is going to be left behind by the flow of time .

Ever waking moment was a horror.
Without fail, self doubts and insecurity tortures and torments my soul.
It tears me apart as a part of me longs to be fee to fly.......
with my easel and canvas to paint the world.
Another part of me begs for me to be realistic and feed the body rather than the soul.
Countless nights have been spent tossing and turning around in bed.
Fighting the war from within......
one with no half time or pit stops.......
just endless screaming as reality sticks a knife into me and slices me apart.

A tormented soul,I have been.......
now my salvation has appeared.
Your softness of touch has awoken me from my slumber......
the dreamer has becomer a DO-er,
and grows in strength every day from you sweet scent and charm,
I do not know what I will do without you,
my sweetest Goddess of love.....
My Venus.......
My eternity.........

3 times!!!

Up the stairs in front of the giant fish lion,
across the busy junction opposite an emerald.
up 3 flights of stairs near your lovely nest.......
I carried you......
like I never carried anyone before.......
your weight in my arms......
your body against my back.........
So close...... so warm.........
that it feels like forever.......
an eternity.
I wanna hold you forever, my dearest Venus!
You are mine! and mine alone!

Loving you....
Your Mars

Finally got things going. It is harder than it seems setting up your own company.
So many things to look into. I am really glad I have Aver with me on this journey, she was the one who made me realise that I can actually do this...... Things are rather crazy at the moment.... still in the process of getting things together. I know we can do this together, Aver. I love you!

This is our little baby!!! AD Creative Productions RoX!!!

The Wedding Photographer part 2

Seems like me site is gonna be up soon! Yipee!!! Hugs and kisses to Aver!


More ramblings about going into wedding photography.......



Seems like it is more or less my calling to become a wedding photographer.... my "Divine Purpose?"

Sounds crazy but when you have Oracle cards telling you the same things over and over again....it tends to stick in your head too. I have always enjoyed making people feel pretty and good about themselves..... not necessarily in that order......lolx, but never have i thought about shaping it into a career.



Bought a book by Steve Sint with the title of "Wedding photography: Art,Business and Style" from Kino yesterday. Was reading it on the train after sending Aver home and found an article inside that was rather interesting.


The Author when he was young was so into photography that he wanted to become a Professional photographer in the worst possible way but never had much luck. There was once he happened to meet a "big shot" in the industry and was given this piece of advice: "Do wedding photography!" This offended Mr Sint but it made sense! Alot of photographers started out with zeal and wanting to be creators of big magazine spreads or wanting to cover major events in history...... becoming that "fly on the wall" that is the world's eye in the events that change the world. This however is unrealistic. You have no experience, no money, no patience and also no equipment!

Wedding photography however is regular work.


You gain experience shooting under all kinds of conditions including dark hallways and gloomy Gothic churches.


You are paid decently well if you know how to market yourself.


You have to wait for the perfect shot to happen in weddings...training your eye for details and patience in the process.


The steady flow of work means you will have the means to gest the equipment you lusted after and do not need to wait for a miracle to get them. As if camera, lenses and lights will drop from the sky.......


People tend to have negative perceptions about wedding photographers in comparison to people who do fashion spreads, wildlife, food photography etc. In fact, it can be an art form if you put your mind and soul into it.


Another article from the book was going on about how the photographer was in a cab( taxi in Singaporean terms.) and rushing to a wedding shoot. The cab driver saw the equipment and got curious and asked Mr Sint what he was shooting and where . Of course, we all know what his answer will be..... I am rushing to shoot a wedding and it is in XYZ hotel. The cab driver turn around and in a scornful tone said: "You know what? I am a photographer too but I can never bring myself down to shoot weddings!"

Hmmmm...... rather thought provoking I must say. Alot of "arty" photographers think that way too.


The ultimate punchline in this story was when the author thought to himself: " And I can never Bring myself down to driving a cab too."
