alright life followers. here is a picture post produced par procrastination.
I'll walk you through it a bit.
1) I've been doing a bit of promo photography for Newtown. One of our bartenders, Bree, invented a new drink to add to our cocktail list, and I was asked to take a couple photos of the drink, the brains and beauty behind the operation and that's it. Except it wasn't. I loved shooting Bree so much that I spent about an hour taking photos of her. She's had experience modelling, she is a complete delight and very down-to-earth. It also helped that because her new drink is called Cherry-Cola, we were able to have very ambient-appropriate lighting (the whole lounge is red, purple and the lights were dim, giving a brownish-glow).
I am admittedly awful at Photoshop/other editing software, so I prefer to just try to get the best shot possible without editing. Some of these are touched up in little bits, but for the most part it's just Bree, looking breeutiful (eww. I had to. Sorry.)
Next, we have a couple of shots from Club Empire - the club on the basement level of Newtown. The shots are from two separate events (including the time I got to shoot Selena Gomez's after-show party!!! Don't know who she is? I didn't either. oops.)
Then we switch to a few shots of the coffee shop where I work. Random shots mostly. Actually all of them are random. There's then some autumn captured. I'm so spoiled by Montreal Autumns, apparently. The weather has been atypically warm (I have never experienced such a beautiful November). Everywhere I turned, I felt inspired and found myself bringing my camera with me even on short trips out.
Even with such an ominous-looking sky, the colours jump out and literally left me breathless sometimes.
I've attached a few photos of my random trip to Ottawa a month back - I can't remember if I'd already attached them, but due to severe neglect of blog, I'm attaching some of my favourites (and some of myself for good measure. [gawd. so. vain.] )
you will notice all the ones of me are rotated to the side, and I can't figure out how to straighten them out (instantaneous vain karma?)
and then all the breath-taking photos at the end of the post...those are of my apartment. I wake up in the morning and open my bedroom door onto a long hallway that ends with an East-facing window, so there's a constant stream of sunlight pouring into the apartment for about an hour. I sit and drink my espresso, close my eyes and genuinely smile.
yes.
i'm back to smiling with my eyes.
Isn't my place beautiful? Won't you come visit?
This is a really bland post in the sense that I don't explore any emotion, but it's important. I can't wait to have time to be creative again. I'm itching to explore something creative.
Also, I think I'm bailing on law and leaning more towards journalism. I'm so inspired right now I'm doing pliés in the hallwés.
enjoy.
