#barcampsg

Got a call from @sidneyreuben to arrange for a meetup, So long no catch up with him, totally miss this young boy… *right… oki… 6mths younger
Anyway, so decided to meetup for a meal then go over to barcampsg to support a friend~ @mhisham

I’m very fascinated by him as a person. hmm… shall not elaborate here, but click here to find out why.
I wouldnt even realize it until… Well, go see go see.

Anyway, coming back, Whats Barcamp?
I have no idea. its like… o_O?  …   O_o? … o_O?
hmm… I shall go and experience it, thats how answers are found.

Well, from my short trip there, I gathered this.

is a series of very informal talks

oki, maybe not series, cos there aint exactly like linkage or part 1 or part 2 to it.
Its informal talks by the people that has something to say about that topic.

Like for example:

So you wanna listen to them, (in-another words, help them secure their slots to share) you got to vote for them.

How to vote?

no need ppl to man the booth, everyones involved. Listening, Speaking, Networking, Catching Up, Sharing Views, Stirring Up a Business Idea


Help yourself to be recognize by putting up a nametag~

Incidentally, when I was there, the good people from tech65.org was recording one of their podcast.
It was on Google in China, HTC Evo and US’s personal website for every citizen. (dont exactly rem is it US or UK)

It was good, sitting round on a table just sharing your knowledge, point of view. Giving valuable inputs and receiving new information which I otherwise wouldnt have even been aware of.

Reminds me of my days as a Radio DJ streaming from Winamp player linking up with MIRC channels *got crowd one hor, dont play play.

Anyway, Click on the Logo below to check out their podcast. The one that I’m involved in probably coming out in the 2nd week of Apr. 🙂


I went roaming around to see if I can get photos of interesting people.

Now heres 2 men that are passionate about their passion!

Sir Jolyon Peter Caplin (Youtube: Unijolyn) who rides on a Unicycle! *can you imagine that!!! The stature on a single wheel!! He came by to spread the news of Science Buskers festival.
and the Court Jester @mikefoong !

Of course you’re not oblighted to sit in the whole time, as they say, “when you got to go, you got to go.”

catching up outside the rooms~

*the guy in the suit is the guy that runs hackerspace.sg Salute siA! suit in this kind of weather~

So, back to @mhisham’s talk

Its like

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg&hl=en_US&fs=1&]

but the music version~

Amazing I tell you, the kind of songs that @mhisham digs out… *not that I know the songs. But its fascinating how compositions n tunes has evolved.
In as much as the songs of the future seems like just another version of the past, aint that another version what that gives its acknowledgment?

Yes, me being me, I was singing with the songs that were in my era. 😀

anyway,
so, ya, if you have qns,

shoot~

some of the topics that caught my eyes:

and a really impromptu one


“Come on in, if you are keen and above 21.”
By @triplez82 and @dk of tech65.org

No, no, no. 😀 nothing too funky. Its afterall an open audience talk.
According to a respectable businessman,

Justin Ng xjieke Evolution on porn. Interactive 3d porn.

It was on Evolution on porn and Interactive 3D porn.

I had to go for my next appointment, so I didnt get to stay.

The whole barcamp thing, its interesting.
it throws to you all different sorts and styles of presentation and topics of all range.

Speaks volume if you are keen on listening.

Special thanks goes to SP and @preetamrai the barcamp organizer.

Sign up to speak and amaze the crowd, or just attend~ rather than just info on tv and the media lines, try something different~

RunwayShoot

Amanda Blogs:

🙂 Went out to do a Runwayshoot. Just had to experience it since it was dangling in my face and I’ve got invitation. 😀

Its was an interesting experience i would say. like @GenkiGenki said, “dont worry about the technical stuff, just enjoy urself.

and @inrsoul said abt keeping the other eye open, that was very valuable, cos while I was trying to shoot this model, another model marched right out. WOH!
My head was swinging left and right the whole time (almost) 😀

Was just looking at some other photographer’s album… -_-”
I am so entry level. -_-; *dig a hole and hide

but nvm, I had an interesting time and everyone starts somewhere. 🙂
so heres to share.


Above: I love this shot, 😀 Its called “I Dont Wanna Go To School!” *PoUt!
*Pls pardon the off-focus 😀


Above: This, I called it “In Your Face” *not the model, but the light.


Above: So child-like yet so sexy 🙂


“Hi There~”

They say models should look good at all angles. Heres the sides. You decide. 🙂


Dresscode: Urban Chic.
*not bad…


Met Dale and City News Photographer Peter.


Our very hardworking host Wendy


The day started with the glaring skies


Thats the time when it hit the 2nd or 3rd round of the show.


They were singing “Lady GaGa – Poker Face” and the group of audience (below) echoed back!


Above: I wanted to do invert selection on the photo above, monochrome everything else, leaving the model’s color on. But well… aint got no Photoshop software…

🙂

I had fun

VivoSunset

Went out with 2 pros (Geng Hui and Choo Wee)  to do some shooting at Vivocity n Sentosa, so this entry is on Vivocity only, check out the Sentosa ones in the next entry.

Courtesy of my cousin, I reach there very early, so early that I had the time to do some non-routine things. 😀  you’ll will know in the entries to come.

Tweeted much about the weather there, super stressed cos it seems as though it is going to rain.


Didnt help when I saw CROWDS being directed to sit at the amphitheatre in anticipation to get to Sentosa.

– the newspaper the day after says that the crowd was for the IR 😀 –

Having 2hours in hand, I went around snapping whatever that caught my eyes.
Snapping snapping when i realize that I’ve cast my work and school off my mind.
Like I say in a tumblr quote, “The power of Focus, What is that one thing on your mind now?”


A Giant Lantern has landed at Vivocity (pss… that non-routine thing is closely related to this)


the giraffes nearby


He stood there for over 10mins pointing at the same direction. I wonder whats he shooting…

Saw this guy, he was just sitting there… I felt very captured by his body language and it came on to me:

May I have a moment of your time?

skyline in lomo

a… there you are.

and then we went for dinner before crossing over to the other island 🙂

Next Stop, Lightings at Sentosa.

SisBigDay

Last Saturday, 16th Jan 2010 was my elder sister’s big day.

It was a good celebration filled with tons of relatives, cheer and pretty people. 🙂
Pardon the inconsistency in photo quality, used my iPhone in-order to tweet live, used my DSLR bcos I want good quality photos, used my Point-n-shoot cos I cant carry my DSLR and run around in that gown 😀

As usual, let the photos do the talking.


The pink box holds the unity candles,
