One fine afternoon, when you find yourself walk so slowly and you saved the last battery of your camera just to capture the things you've always wanted to show the world.

Abundance

Human and what they gain nowadays on earth; Abundance of everything.

If everything is already there, then explain me, what is this feeling, this feeling of wanting something to make us feel, feel more than happy?

to feel fulfilled,

to satisfy the crave,

should we not feel anything anymore?

I was waiting for the laundry to finish and I became emotional so I have to alter it to something useful. And I haven't took any new photos lately, so I mixed all the photos that I took since I was in Germany. It came up to be more poetic than it thought it would be. Nothing fancy.

Strasbourg Market

Books Day at Strasbourg. Only have a short moment in the market because we were supposed to go to other places. Anyway, I got a new book!

Still trying to finish this book though :p

Till later!

Scattered Thoughts

To me, life is not a box of chocolate. You know what you're gonna get, you just want to get away from that feeling and want to keep the journey to be more exciting.

I just wish I could survive the months of never ending questions to myself - I need to leave bad thoughts behind.

Reminiscing my trips makes me feel better. Even though I do regret that I did not do a lot of things.. But why regretting? I could still embrace these moments.

Sometimes we have big dreams, but knowing too much holds us back from them.
Life supposed to be a journey for everyone.

Not So Ordinary

Hi guys! This is a rare moment when I write something on my blog. I want to share something that has been so exciting for the past few months. As you can see from my previous posts, I've helped some friends for look books, and I had a lot of fun. Most people may saw me that I was so frustrated doing the look book, editing and doing the photoshoot itself.

Well, over time, I learned how to get through it. Meeting new people as my client or model may be as hard as it could be in the past, as I used to be a timid. However by realizing what I was doing, I managed to overcome it by just getting to know my team. My models, and everyone. Other professional photographer may look at this as a simple and crucial thing, maybe they'll laugh at my writings about this. But this is a personal discovery, and I really like it.

House of PH's EPILOGUE Collection

I was helping Tewe Harsetiani of House Of PH to do a look book for her newest collection back in late 2013. I have to tell you; I thought I couldn't really get along with bunch of girls. Well, I only have few girl friends. But then I found out that they were so friendly and we're all friends till today. It's just amazing how my passion gets me to new friends. 

Duvera Class 3.0 Photoshoot 

This one! Look how nasty I am.. The sun was shining so bright but it didn't turn down my mood to do the shoot with these lovely people. I met Duvera team just once, and we were able to nail this photoshoot. I was once worried that this photoshoot will turn out bad since I was so exhausted while doing this photoshoot, but then they loved it. It feels fantastic to please your friends.

There is a reason why I'm so happy about this discovery. I used to be a timid person and I couldn't even ask the waiter or any shopkeeper.. I was so timid. I can be so confident just with my close friends and the rest? I couldn't.. I realized that my passion is not just between me and myself, but it's also about others. The world, the people, the society, I can't close my eyes or divert from that. I can't really hide, all I can do is to present myself in front of them confidently. I was so afraid of critics and I really don't want people to tell me what to do or what to photograph. But now, I realize that I can maximize my passion by pleasing others. I love helping people with the ability that I have. I really want to do my best on that.

Well this is just a thought and thank you for reading. Sorry for being random :-P

ps: I have NO IDEA why blogger always turn my black and white photos into brown and white. :/

A Confession

"I'm not that good, I've tried and I think it didn't match me at all. I should find something that matches me. I think, it's not this one. It's something else. I should figure out soon. But I sense it. I think I know what I'm good at. I've been trying too hard and I think I waste my time. I should go now".
