ekster’s studio

This past week has had quite a fair share of interesting and entertaining moments, and since I haven’t shared too much of it, I’ll take the chance this time to share the more memorable moments that I’ve managed to photograph.

Last Saturday was the 1st anniversary of the Kuala Lumpur Flickr group, and about thirty of us managed to get together to socialize and share our photographic experiments, adventures and bits of raunchy humor as usual. Towards the latter end of the evening, a small group of us strolled around the city to take some night time shots and annoy each other.

We found ourselves in a reflective hallway filled with thousands of lights and felt like little children again with our lightbox toys. Here’s my lovely friend Janice having a fun moment of her own.

I took a few abstract shots of the room as well and played around with long shutter speeds. And after a few attempts Janice sums it up succinctly by saying, “They look like electro sperm!” Indeed they do!

The next few days were quite busy with work, but I did manage to catch up with my dear friend and neighbor Fatini over tea. She also wanted me to demonstrate a few photography techniques, particularly about using the flash gun to do controlled single source lighting with a black background. So I took a test shot of her and this was the result.

And as for today, I spent the first half of the day helping my homegirl Helen with her flash presentation on fashion. I haven’t done any actionscript programming in awhile, so it was nice to refresh my memory and I also managed to create a cool thumbnail scrolling module from scratch! And yes, that pretty much makes me an all out interactive media geek. Of course, she was also kind enough to prepare an awesome meal of extremely flavorful beef burritos!

Later that day, I went over to the home of my grandparents where a birthday celebration was hosted for my little cousin Farhan. The little handsome fellow turned four today, and this was my favorite photograph of him, getting a little sweet kiss from our little baby cousin Lisa. And as usual for any big family event, my stomach is completely stuffed and sated with all sorts of edible goodies.

Life is good.
