i've been meaning to write in something but was busy elsewhere. i'm currently working on a personal project in between managing my so disorganized life. i am so pleased that a few dear friends have been calling me to model-ed for them. i have never done it before, i mean apart from my own self-portrait and with my dearest han ghazi; i have never pose in public or with other models. my first experience was for JY, tang lichard and edmond a couple of weeks back where they made me sat on the bar counter at Mojo in Asian Heritage Row with my LBD and wing on. twas a totally awesome night, i have to say.
coming up on my schedule is a series of black&white portrait that i'm gonna pose for a friend. it's gonna be cool as we've always wanted to work in a project together but never had the chance. that and my own project with fizah, faiz and julian. i hope it will turns out allright.
last night, MN and I had a lovely short meeting with Josh, a photography enthusiast. 'Photography is more than just clicking the shutter', he said. He spoke of photography, of balance and of life in general.
looking at all the photos of me taken by others, i'm all in awe of how one may look at me and portray me in their own essence of photos. the above picture proves to me that sometimes i have to lay my trust on others too. MN captured me in a totally different light there.
i remembered again the words Josh told us that night, 'photography slows us down. it makes us stop and think, makes us appreciate all the beauty around us. photography balances us and keeps us sane in this mad, mad world.'
i've been going on so fast that i forgot to stop and smell the flower. MN taught me something with this picture.
about faith, about trust, about slowing down and believing in myself.
i hope he knows that.
