Vantage.


The shot above was one I took for Snapshots — the club I was in last year. I saw dried leaves and immediately thought of choosing them as my subject for the mini-shoot. I was always captivated with leaves. I mean I grew up with a big tree just outside the house and can't help but to get attached to it. I'd observe those times when its leaves would give off an inspiring green color, and those when branches would be left bare and dry, brown leaves are scattered all over the ground.

I experimented with angles and positions yet I still wasn't satisfied with the outcome of my shots. A sudden pang of creativity hit me and I stood there stunned with the brilliant idea that crossed my mind. I crouched down placing my camera on the floor and took a shot. I loved how the shot came out. I think there's this melancholic vibe into it and it gives off so much drama. (Lol.)

Anyhoo, I think the caption I did for this shot fits the blog really well. Life's About This And That features my adventures, things happening in my life, memories of such days, and well.. other things. I wanted to keep the blog URL real simple so I used my name. I did this cuz didn't want to get too involved in writing what people want to read. I wanted to retain my usual weird, bubbly self under the cold shell.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective. Some will look up to you, and some would also try to bring you down. However, when you actually think about it, there will always be a positive in the negative side of things. So keep on going on and live life to the fullest! 

Til' next time!
