gold souq


f4, 1/125sec, 70mm, iso 400, -.3 ev, no flash, cloudy setting

this was taken yesterday during an impromptu shoot with fellow treklens members at the naif area near gold souq. all of the jewellery stores there display a lot of gold in their windows. we were glad that we were allowed to take some shots of the place.

i didn't get much sleep for the past week having a lot of projects to finish. it's finally over and hopefully i will acquire my new baby (aka longnose).

oh, i cut my dirty clothes into half after three weeks of no laundry. that's how busy i am! haha.

until then...

space

camel track, nad al sheba (8am, feb 9, 2007)


after more than a week since i arrived here, my mind and body was pounded with several tasks at hand and was able to blog once again. work requires my attention more that i had to skip my day-offs even from the time of my arrival.

so what happened?

there are few things i remembered since last week.

- ummm, my client evaded me with his dues but another big project came in (not from that client, of course)
- the place i live is a mess right now that i have to organize my stuffs plus do my box full of laundry
- tet, my friend and i were able to go out on a shooting spree in the morning and later i went to the printer's office to check the print layouts
- met with my friends and catch up with stories.
- had a freaking bad jetlag for days
- chatted and seen my kids on the internet (with ex of course)
- backup, burn and reorganize files
- got sick and my voice was lost due to the changing climate

regular blogging will resume in a while... too busy!
