Just got back from Streetfest and a gathering with a few of my friends. Been busy the over the weekend and I haven’t had the time to post-process the photos I have taken.

Streetfest (Street Festival) is a festival to promote youth activities and allow them to showcase their talents and skills in visual arts, fashion, lifestyle trends etc.

Lots of J-rock, Gothic Lolita and some cosplay stuff at Streetfest today. I’ll try to get the images up as soon as possible as it would be a busy week for me during the next week as well ^^;

Will reply to the comments in the morning. I’m so tired now orz

It was often said that hot girls and big guns don’t mix, but that’s just what it was in the past. You really have to wonder why do hot girls and big guns mix, they just seem so irresistible.

Clothed in uniform makes Nida Schuetlich a beauty in a row of soldiers lined up together. I guess it’s the pink hair as well, but I’m more of a sucker for purple/brown and black. Sometimes I wonder if Nida was meant to bring more life into the battlefield.. their weapons of mass destruction comes in really handy, if you know what I mean ;)

Apologize for not updating the past few days. I have been just way too busy. There was a long weekend last week and I was out of the house the whole day during the weekend.

Here’s a ‘teaser’ picture of Nida Schuetlich from Shuraki Box 04. My PC is down again - yes, I am getting a new 500GB hard drive after Japanese class tomorrow and have been backing up my data. Damn those 320GB Seagate Barracudas. I have two (including the current one) that have died on me! Got to get them RMA-ed.

Just a note, I realized that Photoshop doesn’t seem to read my camera’s RAW files properly. After editing a photo in Photoshop and saving it as a JPEG file, the colors are duller and the effects are different from what I want - so I have to turn the effects up way higher than what I see in Photoshop, which is quite a bother. It’s probably my laptop’s (Acer) color management.

Natsuko Tatsumi is love <3

Don’t know how many of you guys/gals actually buy idol photobooks but I got my first one recently. It’s Leah Dizon’s latest and fourth photobook “Pure Leah”.

I like Leah Dizon for her looks as she has that balance of beauty and exoticism due to her mixed ethnicities which makes her “WOW!” The photos in the book wasn’t really that great but there were a couple of shots that were pretty interesting, and it was only then that I realized I had been so stupid.

Idol Photobooks may not be the best reference out there but there are actually pretty good books for studying portraits and also health caring. Ignore the fact that the girls are scantily clad and look deeper and I actually realized that the portrait shots in these books follow what we call in composition - the rules of thirds.

Visiting Sim Lim Square to get a pair of headphones. My Prota Pros  died on me as the wires near the audio jack got loose. ORZ

Sim Lim Square, is known as the place for getting most of your electronics and IT goods. I often avoid the first 2 -3 floors as they are known to be tourist traps, with an exception of some shops…
