Moments

Cool vibrations

I had the best friday. I got a real kick from covering our company outing, shooting photos hour after hour. It is a reminder of a source of happiness that I haven't been drawing from in a long time. I'm so glad I decided to take pictures during that time.

Suffocating

What if your significant other wanted to be with you during the whole day in an outing and you wanted to do something else or perhaps, wanted to hang out with your other friends? That just sucks. Remember, this is a "what-if" so I'm not entirely wrong. It happens.

When your eyes meet

I hate moments like those - when you occasionally stare at someone then you veer away looking smug. Then some other occasion in the day, you catch her staring at you as well. It's like.. "It's your fault - stop being pretty! so I won't stare".

Moment Collector

One of the perks that comes with being adept to your camera is that you have the power to tell a story - in the form of still photos. It's a story that will live on even if you are forgotten.

I sowed a seed of moments, good, bad, exciting, and awkward moments during that day.
With every click of the shutter, every focus adjustment, I was intoxicated with satisfaction.

With a feeling like that everyday - who would need love?

Post-mortem

After reviewing my proofs, I realized that I missed a lot of good shots but it was still better compared to my previous sets. And yes, one of the things I like about mingling with your fellow camera enthusiasts is that you get to see if others did a good job of covering an event, and uh... compare (stolen) shots (of the hottest girl that day).

And the most important lesson - never take too many shots of your crush - it will manifest in the sets. And if that happens, the girl will be forever a crush.

Why you should never stop

If there is anything, the best thing that actually happened in the course of the outing - it was the birth of new friendships. A lot to last a day, a good many to last my stay in the company, some to be there when it counts, and a good few to last forever...
