Disclaimer: I am not a photographer, I don’t think I should qualify as an amateur coz really, i don’t yet know how to operate a camera.. Well at the least I can press that button up there and take a steady image. I don’t (yet) know what strobes are, and those other cool names applied to photography.

However; I’m a Graphic Designer, pretty good at it and I know how a great photo should look like, I work with them.. Thus my knowledge of light and the effect it can/ should create on an object and make it beautiful. But now I want to learn photography. So my bro “borrowed” a Camera last week from job. He needed photos taken for Lele their band, for promotion bla bla bla.. So am at their practice session and they decide to do the shoot and that I will conveniently direct the shoot.. I don’t really like showcasing to the world skills that I know I lack and thus embarrass myself; but due to lack of options on my side I decided to proceed with it. Unfortunately it was at night and we had to do the shoot using natural light (street lamps :) etc). Those photos will be coming up soon.

I got carried away and decided to do an entire shoot by my self at home; especially with the kids- i love kids.. These are what we came up with:

Hawi my baby cousin grew teeth :)

And controlling the baby became a problem! He wanted to go everywhere!

So we had this camel- teddy and I was telling Samantha to be creative. She can take good photos; i have to admit!

Roza and Samantha, being creative with props.. And that light bulb on the side :)

Roza again :) )

And this is one for the whole family of kids (yes, including my big bro haha..)
