city lights

I really have a thing for night photography. I adore portraits that are taken in the night, there's just something dramatic and surreal about them. It's a nice challenge to work on your knowledge about lighting. Thanks to my brother, I have a model for testing, and he does not mind. Below are my favorite bunch, I used kit lens of my Canon. I really think I should buy a 50mm f/1.8 lens. :o

All photos are in raws. :-)

the coup-de-grace that set me off
would've made for decent fiction."

the alley cat of lacson avenue

It has been a while since my blog post. I was reading Think Like a Cat by Pam Johnson-Bennett to aid my collaborative finals requirement for our Photojournalism class *to this date I still do not understand why we should take photos such as these which have no relations with photojournalism whatsoever*.

The idea for this project was that we were to take photos as if an alley cat was taking the photos. So, yeah, us photographers had to lie in the middle of an avenue, on dirty corners, and take photos like a cat. I have only known recently that cats have wretched vision. They're colorblind to red and can only see faded hues of colors.

As the head of our project, on behalf of my groupmates, we have tried our best to be as feline as we could be. These are what cats see. Enjoy looking at the photos :-)

happy holidays!

My brother and I decided to make our very boring 'green house' look very Christmassy. Since I assume we come from a family of artists, we covered one face of our wall with my 'stock' black cardboard paper and drew stuff on it with chalk.
