close to my heart

ok, i decided i need to share something close to my heart here...

i guess this realisation and imprints of how precious life and health is started from my previous work with people who are sick, then having friends and families who are dying, and now, reading about photographers who, despite being at the top of their career, being sucessful, having everything, but health.

i take it as a warning to myself always to take care of myself and people around me. that includes my husband, my family, friends, and the great team i work with at the studio.
o, even my darling qq.

u see, i have been a great fan of the bebbs studio, who is named as one of the greatest photographers in the world, no doubt, since she is not only a great wedding photographer, she is a very good businesswoman, and a mentor, running many seminars. recently i found out that she has been very quiet recently as she has a bad brush with cancer. and had to remove everything in her pelvic region, that's really really bad for a woman. seriously. luckily, she had kids already. Bebbs' story at http://bebbblog.squarespace.com/

ok, basically, something in her story struck me close to heart - "On April 3rd I cried. A lot. I thought about my boys and how important they are to me. I thought about Steve and how it was way too soon for this to happen to us. I thought about my friends and family and how to tell them the news. I thought about my clients and wondered how I was going to shoot their weddings while dealing with this. "

the last line was something i truly understand and that's the great difference between being a therapist and being someone's appointed photographer. so when friends commented that it must be fun doing photography, haha, i realised that on top of being fun, it is also a HUGE responsiblity.

so for the sake of my loved ones and my couples, i got to take really good care of myself! and i am so going to nag dyl to go have his heart check-up immediately. and i am so going to nag elizabeth to not skip lunch, and i am so going to nag john to take regular meals, and i am going to bring qq for her vaccination next week. :p
(these are the 4 people i see everyday - well,qq is a person to me)

hahahahaha.

Im the mother hen.

tilt shift lens... (if u know what i am talking abt :p)

added another brillant photographers, couple team, on the fav list. they are great with tilt shift lens and i really can learn so much from them ;) in fact, they shoot quite exclusively with tilt shift lens and that's what they are famous for. the mark brooke pgs.

people asked me why there's no local photographers on the list... well, to be really fair, i only put people outside of SG :) because locally, of course i like myself and the team at JLP best! hohohoho. kinda thick skin, i know.

o by the way, Jieling, i just recently saw the comment you left for me! wanna go to gym together?? haha. and can i pls have the invitation to your blog?? :p

what a wonderful world!

woke up feeling happy, happy to be alive, kicking, doing what i love, being with my loved ones, having qq... what a wonderful world!

then i thought of the grannies locked up in a nursing home when i work at some days, and got a little depressed...

but dyl and i have decided to volunteer at old folks' home to bring some joy to the elderly tomorrow morning.

it's sad that after a whole life of contribution to the family and society,the grannies are left forgotten and to die alone...without l.o.v.e.

i hope we can make their world a little more wonderful.

Boudoir shoot....for me?

noticed on Jessica C (my absolute idol)'s web some boudoir shoot that I really adore..

I am determined to get something on this line done for myself (before i balloon even further) and of course, knowing that post-pregnancy, i will probably never have such figure again. Though it's probably far away but still, i must capture my youth!

And imagine blowing up a big big picture and putting in my bedroom / bathroom. so kinky! woohoo!

and of course, plenty of wallet size photos for the husband to admire in the office. :p

now, i just have to go hunt for a photographer that I feel absolutely comfortable around being naked. I strongly believe, it will be a lady :)

So exciting!

O ya, and it's been a long long time since i took a portrait of myself and with the help of a dear colleague Ah bird (that's fine right?:p)

Trying to act cool. :p
