What a Micro Four Thirds Beauty!

I have to get me one of these. Both the Lumix Gf-1 AND the Nikon to micro 4/3 adaptor. Gorgeous.

How Do You Catch A Shadow?

I really can't figure out who is sending these SMSes to Anna.

This is really very strange. I’ve been trying to turn the tables on Anna’s stalker, and it’s like trying to catch smoke. Whoever this person is, he’s very good. This is getting more disturbing the more I think about it. Either her stalker has been doing this for years, or Anna’s hiding something very big from me, too big for me to be of any use to her. She says that she doesn’t have any crazy ex-boyfriends who would do this.

So if it’s not an ex-boyfriend, who is it?

Getting To The Bottom Of Things

It's not elementary, my Dear Watson, this mystery that is Anna.

I’m really worried about Anna. She looks like she’s lost a lot of weight and she didn’t even seem to notice when I told her about the limited edition scratch and sniff blueberry fridge magnet that I bought online. I think she’s a lot more traumatised by this stalker than she lets on. I’m going to do something about it. I can’t stand to see her so upset.

If Anna’s stalker really is following her around all the time, well, two can play the same game.

I just wish I knew more about Anna, though. She seems right for me in so many ways – she’s smart, attractive, and strong. But I have to wonder… why is someone stalking her? Wish she would open up a bit more about her past.

Love Is Nothing Like Taking Photos

Here's wishing they hold hands forever!

Awesome shoot. Really great weather. Perfect couple. John and Leng really know how to smile, and ham it up for the camera!

I had some problems focusing with my CZ 85 1.4 trying to shoot wide open, but silly me, I had auto ISO on, and it was such a bright and sunny day. I simply needed to dial it down to ISO 100 and I could shoot at f1.4, or rather f2, to get that creamy bokeh going for their close-ups…

Of course, Anna was supremely helpful in holding the reflector and generally watching out for little things like change in wind direction, and whether stray hairs had escaped. In fact, she’s been super helpful, especially when she came back to my place after the shoot and we went through possible photos for the album to be displayed on the actual day ceremony.

Hmm, not sure if I should write this here. I’m not even sure how to say this. It’s like when you take a shot of something, let’s say a building, and you take a shot of it again, and again from different angles. But it’s still the first shot which you took on instinct (Malcolm Gladwell calls it ‘thin slicing’) that really nails it. Ummm, yeah. I think I took that first shot when I first met Anna, started working with her, and finding out more about her.

So I decided to take the plunge. I asked her out for a movie, just tried my luck, cause I mean, it’s one thing to meet up for coffee, but a movie signifies something more.

And then, she said she wasn’t free, had to go shopping with Leng for some decor for the wedding day. But it was the way she said it that made me feel as if she could have been free. I don’t know…

Should I try again? Should I just leave things as they are? But somehow when you’ve pressed the shutter, things are captured and the moment is no longer the same. Sigh.
