Floor 23. Dun, Dun, Dun!
/cue foreboding background music
For those who have been following my entries, you would have known that I was involved in a private photo shoot as organized by my brother on the 17th of September. I was tasked with assisting him with his lighting equipment, which in layman terms meant, moving lighting stands all over the place. =(
Still, what’s there to hate about the shoot right?
Seeing that there’s a beautiful young model hired for a day’s worth of shooting, make-up artists doing the model’s hair and, duh, make-up, other excited lighting assistants who volunteered their time for the day, a couture based theme of shooting/modeling, some somewhat heavy-duty lighting equipment, all set in a wonderful shoot location that was recently completed and has not been opened to the public as of yet.
With all this shot on the 23rd floor of one of the tallest buildings in my village.
So yeah, what’s there to hate, right?
On paper, it definitely sounds intriguing, no doubt. I am sure that everyone who thinks of a fashion and glamour shoot starts imagining a super cool and exciting environment that’s all artsy fartsy in all its intrepid notions.
To be honest, I was so bored to death that I had actually contemplated the question of how much of my bodily matter would spread across the pavement had I decided to jump from the 23rd floor, just to end it all.
Ok, Ok, I was just exaggerating back there but really! It was truly a MEGA-BORE to have been a participant there! In actual fact, the assistants that were there were more than enough for the ‘lighting equipment’. This meant that I spent most of the shoot just loitering around and just observing the ho-humness of it all.
I was also told that I wasnt allowed to bring my own camera to the shoot. The actual reasoning as to why I would want to bring my camera was to conduct a semi-documentary or a “behind the scenes” collection of shots of the actual shoot that day. I guess my brother was worried that I was trying to muscle his model away from him during the shoot but to be honest, I am not terribly interested in the fashion and glamour genre. Maybe in the future I would but as it currently stands, it just makes me yawn the loudest of yawns.
Anyhow, I spent most of the day shooting with my camera phone, which is a Motorola V360, as you can see from the pictures attached to this post. I must admit that the camera resolution in this phone sucks major ass but still, I wasnt shooting for the sake of actual keepers and such.
The primary objective was to conduct my cheesy “Fun with perspectives” shoot, as the day dragged on.
The objective of my shoot was simple enough. Capturing images from the oddest of angles and trying my best in maintaining proper composition and framing. To be honest, I had wanted to conduct my “Fun with perspectives” shoot for quite sometime now, after having glanced at some photographs from *questionable* resources. 
*Ahem*
I will elaborate on those sources in another update in the future. A post that I’ve been meaning to post for quite sometime now but have no idea as to how I should eloquently word it. 
Anyway, please enjoy viewing my cheesy set that was derived from that day. It was really fun actually, shooting with a camera phone. I just shot and deleted like mad and just basically tried stuffing my cell phone in the weirdest of places. All this in hopes of getting something reasonably cool. 
Now, let us look at my shots.
This was the shot that started it all. I was so bored that even the excitement on the television could not even get me pumped up for the day. And YES, I did root for Philly’s team.
This shot was the view from the coffee table in the room. That pillow you see on the glass table was the only thing that comforted me during my moments of extreme boredom, which ended up with me mashing my face against it as I slept. =(
This was the view from the television, in relation to the location in which I plopped my head as I laid in sorrow with my ‘best friend for the day’ pillow.
Shot from the same location as the previous shot, just at a much weirder perspective. Good times!
This was one of the first shots that I liked, seeing that it has this sort of David Lynch sort of vibe. I am now somewhat reminded of a line that goes like this, “Wrapped in plastic”…I dont know why. =(
Not long after the first few initial volleys, I developed a fetish for the furniture in the living room and tried to shoot those said items in the most compromising of positions. I like teases. =D
Not long after that, I too developed a fetish for the glass table situated in the same room. Such sexy curves…Oh, how naughty you were! Yes! Yes!
Having exhausted all the fun the in the living room, I proceeded into the bedroom and was greeted with this extremely underwhelming view. Hey look! Everything below me is somewhat smallz! LOLZ! *Narf*
Underneath the window that housed that *wondeful* view, I found something that was shockingly familiar to me. =( Too bad my actual camera wasnt there that day. The poor Nikon D70 in this picture was actually under-utilized by its owner for the whole day. That poor D70. =’(
Soon, I too discovered the evil secret of the womens in tempting us men with their beauty and splendors! I had found…PANDORA’S BOX AND OH MY GOD IT WAS OPEN!!! Then again, why does Pandora’s Box contains marker pens and detached eye lashes?! Hmmm…OH THE HORROR!!
Another look at PANDORA’S BOX. THESE ARE TRULY THE ITEMS FOR THE CREATION OF THE APOCALYPSE!! FEAR, HUMANS! You saw it here first!
Wow! Calligraphy brushes! Awesome cool!
Warning: None of the items in this picture are edible or consumable. Darn… =(
Tools of the trade.
Hey look! I am trying to be artsy fartsy! *Snort* *Snort* KISS ME NOW YOU F00S!!
Note: Prolonged exposures to Chemical-X may result in the growth of 5 additional fingers on one’s hand or cause double-vision. Either way, you are completely screwed, buddy. Have a nice day, dumb ass!
Chrome Dome Syndrome. Yeah, I talking to you Shredder and Krang…
Hey ma look! It is the elevators of Floor 23 reflected on the chrome surface of a number 23 that’s directing the occupants to their room! <(^o^)> PURI! PURI! PURURURIN!
And this concludes this unusual entry. This represents probably half of what I shot that day and probably is sufficient for the readers here, seeing that I do not want to cause any brain damage to occur from the viewing of the other shots. 
Have a good one, folks!
