Knowing & Loving What You Do


Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

This isn't even about photography, but it has something to do with what everyone wants to know. It's about knowing what you want to do & loving what you do. If you have 15 minutes of time to spare, this video by Steve Jobs is something you may be interested in.

Absolut Kelly


It's definitely a challenge doing night shoots, as light is limited and almost always, flash is the only solution to this handicap. It's nothing different for this birthday shoot for Kelly, who celebrated her 21st Birthday at a posh location called The Helipad, situated at the rooftop of Central in Clarke Quay.


Because one of the main components of a good photo is a good subject, I'm fortunate to have such bubbly characters who celebrated the birthday with me. And these youngsters were all around the same age as yours truly, so it was always much easier to mingle around with them -- free drinks, free cakes, free hugs.. what else could you ask for? The party was definitely the epitome of fun!


Everyone enjoyed themselves so much, I could hardly locate tired faces there, if any. The night was a little bit warm though, so Kelly got a little worried that the photos might not turn out well as everyone was getting a little sweaty. I think that's really cute, isn't it?


And the best part about birthdays? PRESENTS! Kelly received lots of them and she was definitely the princess of the night, beaming her smile everywhere she went and tried hard to entertain her friends even though we were all scattered around the Helipad.


See that Patrick Starfish cake? I'd never have the heart to eat it, even if someone paid me to do so. So now I really wonder what happened to the cake -- actually, the cake will look cute if it's a pillow or something. I wanted to pat Patrick's head, but I didn't get to.


I'm glad I was able to share the joy, the fun & laughter with everyone who attended the party. Lots of thanks to Kelly who hired me to cover the party for her. She's definitely more than a client to me, a friend indeed. And we're meeting tomorrow, so that's something to look forward to!

Love,

Lomography-Inspired Music Videos


Alessi's Ark - The Asteroids Collide

Have you come across any other Lomography-inspired official music videos like these two posted ones? You know you'll love these non-mainstream music! :)


Black Light Dinner Party - Older Together

My favourite video will have to be Anna Li's My Camera Clicks, even though it's not an official music video, but it's worth mentioning. This one makes me happy everytime I listen to it (could be because of those camera clicks!). Anna's on Twitter too @helloannali.

Do share with me if you have any other such lomo-inspired videos!

For Amanat


For Amanat's private birthday party, I got invited to Fullerton Bay Hotel again at their rooftop section called The Lantern. I really, really love that place. The ambience was just perfect!

If you remembered, my last birthday shoot at the same location was for Sasty.


For some of Amanat's photos, you can browse the flash version here and Facebook's non-flash version here.

Hope you guys are enjoying your weekends!

For Jamie


I never really got to share these few photos of Jamie Victoria I did for Donnie Bishop Clothing.

Here are some photos of her taken at the roof of this multi-storey carpak in Yishun, Singapore. The sun spared no mercy for the both of us as we worked hard for these shots. The session was quite a challenge, but I'll definitely do this again in the future if I have the opportunity!

MODEL: Jamie Victoria
OUTFIT: Donnie Bishop Clothing

P.S. If you guys were observant enough, you'd have realised that the girl in my site's banner is indeed Jamie Victoria, yay!
