To Fend Off Boredom

As usual, being a middle level employee in my company, I had access and privilege to give orders to my subordinate -- and of course they have to obey, or else!

So I asked one of the technician to pose as model for my boss' Kawasaki Ninja. It's a mutual thing as we all benefited from the work this afternoon.

Adi, the model, can use the pictures as his photo ID in chat-rooms and upload it in a social networking site he joined.

Me, I can get a free chance to get to know the dynamic of shooting outdoor using available light, with properties provided by my boss.

My boss, he can get a laugh out of seeing it all. Fun came hard these days, you know.

So, although I wish we had more properties like sunglasses and bandana, and even a matching black leather trousers and black leather boots, these pictures showed me some potentials ready to be explore more!

A Sea Of Difference...

You know how much I might differ from your average male friend?

A lot, maybe.

This one example, was when I browse latest gallery upload on one of a photography community website here, while people actually comment on how funny the picture is; the great tonal; what I saw give me the creeps and send a cold-chill down my spine.

Actually, seeing the thumbnail first even gave me shiver.

It portrayed some kind of monkey behind cage, the expression is almost made me want to puke -- like every time I see despair in people's eyes. That kind of pictures: despair; hopelessness; agony; fear; touches me at a very basic level, the kind that evoke deep emotions.

And it bothers me, a lot.

Crap.

Aku Sedang Berpikir

Kalau aku sudah lelah.
Cape.
It's more as a mind thing than physical.

A Terrible Lesson Over Punctuality

It has been a while since last I manage to steal some office time and bandwidth to post here. But believe me that the abstinence is killing me.

So in this post I felt the urge to tell you an episode that I learned the hard way. About discipline and punctuality.

I went to Bandung to get a chance to shoot Aura Kasih live on stage, in the Miss Celebrity 2008 event, hosted by SCTV and Ciwalk.

Now, if I'm discipline and punctual, I should be able to shot lots of frames of Aura Kasih performing on stage. But because my own stupidity and inappropriate politeness, all I manage was 14 frames of her and not even a single one can be of any worth!

Because I can't be punctual (and leave anybody who disrespect the term), my 400km journey worth crap. I want to kick my ass and beat the hell out of that stupid guy who called himself "professional photographer". No wonder he suck. His photography must be lousy too. It showed in his attitude. I'm about to launch myself on a series of trash talking here, but thought better of it.

Now, lesson learned. If anybody, even my close friend, asked me to join on a photo hunting, he/she must be punctual. He/she must prepared to travel on schedule.



Or else, I would have just leave him/her out.

Sigh, all the time, energy, and money spent on this previous weekend...

Wasted.
