2012

ahben — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:23:37 +0000

woot it is 2012! i thought i would get myself a fresh start. so i redid my portfolio and uploaded some new photos. they look much better now.

reflecting on what i did in 2011, this is a work in progress, i have much more to learn, much more to do to advance myself into the pro photography world.

more to come in 2012. good things i hope.

rainy days

ahben — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 05:28:31 +0000

so it’s been raining a lot lately. and it’s a little problematic for me to go to work on my bike…

so i had a ride on a car with a friend…

so i got a chance to catch these raindrops on a car window…

so…

rocks

serenity is hard to find,
when the insanity around you is the statistically significant.
i try to find my peace and quiet when i can.

oh snap! – self portrait

ahben — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 08:11:46 +0000

this was taken with my iPhone 4 with olloclip lens mounted on tripod and release cable! edited in luminance app, and added slight depth of field in big lens app. i will be doing unit one homework for my class this weekend. this is a warm up.

for a girl i once knew

ahben — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 05:03:41 +0000

ok kay, as promised, there is one of my rhymes, i written this for a girl i once knew…

tell me what you think, i am sure i broke some rules of a pure shakespearean sonnet format and whatnot,
but whatever,
i don’t really know the rules…lol…

anyway…ok, here goes…

confession to my sweet angel offend!
hence fearing oh sweet me and all things wrong.
i banished by darling love and dear friend-
embracing grief and sorrow for life’s long.
those know no jealousy know of love less.
i knowing both am now paying all debts:
to my sweet angel for too short a bless;
for wooing her a chance in love say:”let’s!”
to measure my riches you need not go
from deepest of sea to highest of cliff,
look in your mirror and let truth say so,
for that honest truth persuaded me if:

rhymes be stones, live in mine, your Taj Mahal;
love be disease, i caught yours, worst of all.

unit one progress

ahben — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:43:30 +0000

i am actually going through unit one of my pro photography class rather smoothly,
not much delay between each time i pick up my booklets and playing the audio CDs.

i am about 3/4 through the unit, and will finish it soon. can’t wait to go shooting for my first assignment!

i feel pretty productive about this….

school

ahben — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:23:04 +0000

i am going back to school again. or rather…school is coming to me…

a few days ago i enrolled in the 100-year-old new york institute of photography, after a short debate with myself. oh well, the tuition is paid and the course materials are coming to me in snail mail.

so that effectively, and officially, makes me a student again. i am excited.
