MY FIRST LEICA!!!!



OH HAI THERE LEICA.....














Passport holder.

Alrights. Who thought I snapped and spent 17K on a camera 8D
But its a really pretty passport holder with my name on it! Partially.


Its really pretty and I can't wait to own that camera one day.

S90. Processed in Capture One.
I had dinner with Y love the fish! thanks dear! yesterday and she was trying to convince me that lomography does not equals to cheap plastic lenses in a colorful plastic body producing plastic quality images. In the end, I am still not convinced.

S90. Processed in Capture One. 
Images with colors that are out of whack, grains and heavy vignetting might be fun for a week. But I guess I will stick to digital(: Besides, I can processed my images to make it look 'lomo-ish' so why bother with the films and camera.

S90. Processed in Capture One.
Is this 'lomo' enough for you? (:
So I asked her how does she process her digital files as her style of post processing images are to make everything look as 'lomo' as possible. She then introduced me to a world of photoshop plugins. I mean the closest I got to a photoshop plugin was the RNDS palette for re-touching images. Heck I hardly touch that palette as I preset and custom my own brushes for re-touching.
She uses a plugin called Kubota and it is literally a 'make it pretty' button/s in photoshop. It is that ridiculous. Whatever happened to the good old days where you struggled to understand the little symbols floating all around your page? Now you can get things done with a click of your mouse! Without actually knowing what or how the floaty symbols work!

IPhase One just released Capture One 6 and guess who wants an upgrade>.> Capture One 6 is simply amazing! Its live view as compared to the Leaf system/ software are worlds apart! Dimensions even! I got so fed up using the leaf system that I just felt like throwing it down the stairs. 
Then again, if I can produce crap works using the Leaf system, imagine what I can do with Capture One!

With the world of post processing getting simpler and easier, I guess the photographers can finally start shooting without having to worry about backlogs and the time needed to clear those backlogs.
Thank you Phase One!


I need a new camera bag>.> Lowepro is too small and this is not even close to the full set of gears I have to carry for my next assignment shoot. T_T

Dear Santa,

Please let a Thinktank or Billingham be under my tree this Christmas. Better still, a Leica so that I don't even have to carry a bag.

Love,
myAlice

PS: I had been a good girl this year!


Ending off with an very late image of my not-so-German looking girl.
For those I whose emails I had not replied, I am fine.
Really! I mean thats life. Things will get sour and you will meet weirdos along the way but there will always be someone who will cheer for you. Somewhere around the globe(:

Tag Repiles:

JKT: HAHAHA WRONG!
It means Live till you are old, study till you are old. In other words, study till you die 8D
Its not that I am rarely online, I am never online! Haha! Figured that there is more to life then avoiding people on msn so I don't go online unless I have to(:
You owe me lunch woman. And Fi's exam just ended!
