Baby Adam

There are times when we think and wonder why our prayers for a child has not yet been answered but most of the time we are thankful for what God has given us in the present. We trust God that He will bless us according to His will and according to His plan - which is always perfect!
When we visited baby Adam, we felt happy for Micael and Emilie! Their 3 week old son was such a bundle of joy. He is truly adorable. Here are some photos we took during our visit.

Moving On

My last day with my previous company has arrived and passed. When I walked in to office last Thursday, I felt a little bit melancholy but the thrill of change kept me smiling the whole day. This was another chapter of my life closing...like a sun setting on the horizon.
My colleagues gave me the coolest send off. A few days back, I was worried my stuff doesn't fit my new role in my new job. My bag looked like a high school girl's and I said to myself I had to have a new one before Saturday. So as a remembrance, my colleagues gave me a bag, not only one, but two!!! And I already bought a new one Wednesday evening. Isn't that just the craziest?

There are just so many things I will miss about working with KOJ peeps...I will miss the conversations, the lunch breaks, the jokes, the endless emails on a funny topic, the traditional "surprise" birthdays and the smiles through all the deadlines and projects. We were a big family!
I dedicate this photo blog to the friends I made and to the people who posed the challenges to help me grow.

These are just a few of the faces who made the 3 humdrum years of my 8 to 6 job noteworthy and exciting.   I want all of you to know that you made a difference in my life and I thank you for that. Hope our roads would cross again.

Solida's Bridal Creations

We proudly present to you the bridal creations of Solida.

This is one of the biggest and most challenging projects we ever had. Fashion photography is so different from wedding photography as it deals more into details. Unlike photojournalism and wedding photography, fashion photography involves  a lot of intelligent manipulated lighting and painstaking post processing and editing. In wedding photography, capturing the emotions and events which will tell the story matters. Both require great composition but the photos in the fashion world gets more scrutiny. The advantage of the latter is that you can reshoot everything all over again in contrast to weddings, where everything happens in a fleeting moment and if you are not on your toes, these moments will just pass you by.
Hope you like these photos. We are very excited to see the printed album she has ordered. Special thanks to Sibilla, our model.

Bridal Creations: A Preview

I wish we could blog more often. However, we have been tied down by a major project we have been doing with a famous fashion designer for the past 3 weeks or so. We will let you know who this designer is in a couple of weeks...as soon as we are done with all the photos and the website. Oh yeah, we also register and design websites!
Hope you like the photos as this is one project we have spent a lot of our waking hours on.

Read the Signs

Yesterday, we have experienced a very strong sandstorm in the morning on our way to Abu Dhabi. There was very less visibility on the road and people outside were turning white with sand in their faces.
On our way back, ominous brown clouds hovered over Dubai and it looked like it was going to rain mud. By 9pm, the heavy rain started falling and soon enough the streets were flooded. We thought we would be stranded in Sharjah but our trusty GMC carried us home.

The next day, news of blocked roads and high floods sounded on the radio. Some schools declared holiday (I hope offices too) but the sun was already up and shining. However, the day passed and it seems that the roads are still impassable. Heavy traffic stranded a lot of motorists on their way home. Fortunately, we drove on the opposite direction.

Earthquake in Chile and Haiti, floods in the middle east and drought in the Philippines - it seems that the Earth is telling us something. Are we blind not to see the signs?
