What I Did Last Friday
December 6, 2005
This post is titled, “What I Did Last Friday” because I was unable to update earlier due to the registrar transfer glitch.
So. Last Friday, I had a shoot for some company. It was a non-commercial shoot la. Basically, this web company needed to take pictures of a model for their Flash presentation.
It was a very last minute job because their client reverted to them last minute too. So everything was damn ‘anyhow’. Their boss doubled up as a photographer, and their sales coordinator (I think, kinda forgot her job title :P) was like a runner-cum-assistant-cum-stylist-cum-art-director. Clothes were my own anyway. Haha.
Now that you’ve got an idea how ‘anyhow’ this shoot was, it gets worse. In between, they had to go for meetings. So that left me with quite a lot of free time. It was a hot day and I didn’t have a good rest the night before, so I was out like a light, slouched on their sofa while they were at the meeting. Very unglam. Mouth opened big big somemore. Normally I wouldn’t be caught dead like that, since I feel it’s not very professional. But I guess this was an exception. When the body gives way, the body gives way. Besides, their boss is a cool guy. He kinda reminds me of Jim Carrey in The Mask. And he drives like The Pilot. Okay, but that’s beside the point.
They said, “Make yourself at home. If you want, you can read whatever magazines there are.” And so I did.
Unfortunately, the only magazine there was “Marketing”. Bored, I picked it up to read anyway. And then I discovered something interestingly horrific, or horrifically interesting, depending on how you wanna look at it.
The Boring Magazine
Upon scrutinizing the cover model (her eyes have been screened to protect her privacy), I discovered that whoever did the Digital Imaging (DI) did a very bad job, as can be seen here…
Wah lau! Check out her armpit!
That bugger didn’t touch up her armpit pimples! Eeuwgh.
The shoot was broken up into 2 segments. So in between segments, I had enough time to meet up with Mark, Boaz, Kim and Joyce (aka The Pilot, The Lawyer, The Prankster and The Turkey. Uh, okay, I’ll be nice. The Turkey Brudder). Love ya, Joyce! (You know I do!). Was supposed to meet May (aka The Gorilla) too, but my time with them was short and I had to leave earlier to go back to the shoot. Oh well, at least I managed to have a quick dinner with them.
Kim’s face was cropped out because my arm was just a little bit too short.
A better picture. Left to right: Mark, Nat, Kim, Joyce, Boaz
It’s really nice meeting up with old friends. Always. We should do that more often :)
Yah, so anyway after that I went back to the shoot. And that’s What I Did Last Friday.
THE END.
