My life in last 2 weeks, March 2013

my shadow

Another sleepless night and i wont touch those xanax the doctor gave me just to get sleep. Nope!
But in the other hand, this insomnia make me think brighter. Well not always ^_^. Tonight weather looks fine and it’s a quiet night actually here at Bintaro. I’ve read many articles in these last couple of hours, clear up some space after selecting some photos i shot lately. Wrote 2 blog entries. But still stuck doing some geeky stuffs. My fingers seems to reject me for typing codes, but they did good  blogging :P

Anyway, I’m not a pro (yet) but I like taking picture. Got time to shoot some picture the couple of weeks. It’s good for health also, since you can interact with other fellow photographers, models, other people. Put you off the hook from office shit that sucking you like a dementor.

Last Saturday (well it’s 2 weeks ago actually) I joined a hunting session at Taman Langsat, Jakarta. Meet some old friends, make new ones. But there were too many people (‘photographers’) and it took most of the fun out of the window. You cant wish everybody to have manner unlike you and your group. Some of them will always be some egoistic people with only one thing in their mind. Their own self.

But it’s OK. It’s a risk you have to take. You’ll have one in your group. So no wonder if you’ll find many in bunch of strangers :P So spent most of the time having chat with some fellow shooter and models. Manage to shot some nice photos of the models, well I think so. These 7 photos below were taken using OM-D E-M5 in 1×1 square format feature.

One thing i’ve regret that there was a group of local kid playing in the pool. It caught my eyes, but i have no evergy to cross the river for taking their picture jumping in the water from proper location.

I’m ditching my Tamron 17-50/2.8. I’m planning to go FX in the future. Therefor I need to get use to FX lenses also. In this case my FX lenses are Nikkor AF-D 50/1.4 and 85/1.8.

These are my gears, an Olympus OM-D E-M5 and a Nikon D7k with 85/1.8D.
Both were shot with iPhone 4 and Instagram filter :)

 

Finish at Taman Langsat, I took a walk to Gandaria City. Got some pictures of bajaj drivers waiting for their passengers. I spent almost 30 hours on bed after that. My head was like exploding for the whole night and losing motor control of my body. I could barely move my left body part only. If Rara not coming down to my house for helping me that day, this entry would’ve been made by somebody else.

For the last 2 weeks I’m taking train again. Taking car and furthermore a sport bike to the office is like a suicide plan for me :P It’s not the traffic jam or 26km distance that matter. Just to avoid bad things coz i don’t know when my head will act strange again. It costly since i would only spent around IDR 100k a week only when taking my bike. This time I have to budget IDR 38k for one trip only to the office.

it’s only 150cc, more than enough to get you killed if you ride carelessly

But in exchange, i got these pictures taken using my iPhone and also my OM-D. Yah, everything has 2 sides of story ^_^. It’s 4:44 am already. Have to try to sleep although for only couple minutes. Need to catch a train on the next 2 hours.
