random shots

Annie, my impromptu tour guide of Dubai is a friendly and very hospitable lady from Davao City, Philippines. Her slim figure and effortless projection in front of the camera makes her versatile enough to also be my model for some of the shots that came to mind during the tour. Though she may not really be a model, I believe that she is photogenic and can hold her own in front of any lens. Simplicity helps her adapt to the poses I ask her to do - and she is patient enough to cooperate the whims needed for the shots.   As a final note, I posted this a simple token of appreciation for being good company to me, and bringing me to all the sights I posted about in my Dubai entry. This is also as an addition to my growing online portfolio. Shukran Annie!

well, I'd like to think of it that way. this is a set of photos of one of my good friends after our team building activity done yesterday(as of posting time). another set in another post for all the other pics.

Weddings are truly "magical" in a lot of ways - not only for the couple but for the people around them. When I see people who are so into their relationship that the wedding seems to be like just a formality for society, my faith in the concept of marriage gets renewed (yes, I am taking time to explain my view in weddings/wedding ceremonies/marriage).  More so, couples who not only love each other but also respect each other along with hard work in maintaining their relationship also earn my respect. "love is not enough" and it truly isn't when considering marriage. That paragraph above stems out from the feel of the photos I am posting in this entry. These are shots during the #kimadox wedding ceremony and receptions. It was a great weekend filled with happiness and high hopes for the married couple, and a great time to catch up with college friends (the very people who kept me "insanely-sane" during college). I didn't give much effort...
