DW interviews nude photographer

Paraody: To satisfy the paparazzi streak in moi, this mock interview has been set up to better understand what goes on in the head of a nude photographer.

DW: Here Mr Kat, we are really glad you took time off your busy schedule to talk to us today!
Mr Kat: The pleasure is all mine!
DW: Really , Mr Kat. You are the most famous photographer ever...... We in Sin city all worship you like a God..... in fact, our producers have given me the golden opportunity to wash your feet..... come...... Sir, please take off your shoes and let us bask in the glory of the soles that have helped produced those beautiful works that beautifies the curves of a woman's body!
Mr Kat: If you insist......

The next 5 mins is censored for senseless bootlicking and sucking up of various forms which are deemed inappropriate for mass media.

DW: So Mr Kat, How and why do you start shooting women in the nude?
Mr Kat: Well, the woman's body is a piece of art to be appreciated visually and photography remembers every curve for eternity..... not to mention how obedient they can be when you point out to them how serious it can be if the photos end up in the WRONG hands.......
DW: That is so MORALISTIC of you !
Mr Kat: Someone has to do the DIRTY work you know....... ahhhh..... nude photography is the highest form of art...... as a photographer.... you have to teach them all the POSITIONS..... errrr.... I mean poses so that it looks artistic!
DW: Whoa, where do you draw your inspiration from?
Mr Kat: From Overseas of course, they are so advanced in the art of PORNOGRAPHY, errr...I mean Photography!
DW: Mr Kat, we have heard rumors about you sleeping with your models.....
Mr Kat: That's nonsense! I do not sleep with models ! I am not a 60 year old man you know...... I am young and energetic..... don't anyhow write arr.... I repeat that I do not sleep with my models.
DW: Spoken like a true professional ! What advise do you have for the budding nude photographers out there? Some tips perhaps?
Mr Kat: It is never gonna be easy. The models are shy. You have to break the ice.... you have to make sure they are comfortable with your BODY.... I mean presence...... than you can take every natural and artistic fotos.
DW: That is SO enlightening! I am sure all the photographers in Sin City will benefit from your advise. T"hanks for sharing and see you next time on that 5 mintue show.

Do U know that I Love U?

Dear Aver,
3rd November 2007! Another day to remember......
The Ever vocal Pussy Cat decides to make her presence felt and voice her opinions about the value of photography as a medium of expression. The replies came like a wave and after awhile, you were fighting a lone war...... that was when you caught my attention..... I was saying to myself : Here is one Gutsy gal who really have brains and beauty.
You are the feisty little chilli padi and I was the laid back wannabe photographer with a dream.....a dream that I tuck away in the furtherest regions of my mind.... not even daring to fish out for the occasional viewing......
We chatted online...poking fun of the others while exchanging our over the top ideas..... I see a wonderfully talented girl with an equally beautiful mind...... I was intimidated to say the least..... to the point , I even toyed with the idea of calling off the shoot last minute. It was an impromptu suggestion..... and we just meet! How Random are these 2 crazy souls!!!
I arrived 15 minutes early and waited patiently outside. Wearing a black shirt and a jacket.... not the right attire for Sunny Island Singapore..... You breezed into my life in a black long flowing evening gown like attire..... I was stunned!!! Mesmerised by your beauty..... butterflies in the stomach? sounds like the entire garden flying around.... include the bees, dragonflies,birds and ladybugs!
We made our way towards our shoot location.That gothic building in Bugis. Office Building was what we found out and we were only allowed to shoot outside and not hang around at all inside....
I started to teach you how to pose.... there was standing poses....sitting poses and for the first time, you saw me shoot while lying on the floor..... I WAS NOT TRYING TO UPSKIRT YOU!!!!
All of a sudden, it started to rain...... heavily!!! We had no choice but to relocate.... you suggested Clarke Quay and off we go .... half drenched in the rain..... It was pouring ..... thus we had no choice but to sit down and wait at the HongKong Cafeteria in Centeral. We talked and talked....shared alot about ourselves..... and at the end of it..... I knew I was in trouble....... I had fallen for you!!!

Here lies buried Harry Soh

It is with the heaviest of hearts than we are gathered here today to witness the burial of Harry Soh.
Here under our feet lies his meekness, his weakness,his low self esteem,his lack of courage,his hesistance,his failure to do what his heart tells him so,his reasons and excuses,his fear of failure,his frustration about how unfair the world,his anger at being bullied into submission,his lack of guts to speak up for his own rights, his inability to tap into his own personal pool of abilities to manifest positive things in life and his lack of ability to believe that anything is possible.....

Here lies buried the cold,limp body of someone we all hold so dear..... let us all pay our last respects to this soul.

Zombies Alive!!!

Been trying very hard in recent weeks to be motivated in thou's day job. This is incredibly frustrating. When you have finally decided to pursue your dream and do the impossible...... the 1 month notification period is a killer..... everyday, I had to drag my feet to work. Maybe this job is burning my passion away....sucking my energy dry like a psyhic vampire....argghhhh.... the pain and anguish..... it is a repetitive cycle of endless screaming...... when you are in a room with 40 screaming kids for at least 5 hours a day...you tend to lose your sanity very quickly. Even a teacher has advised not to step into the teaching profession. It was good when the benefits were at its peak but there is not much consolation. So much for being a civil servants these days....... Waiting for the start to a new life....... I shall be there.... I shall be the best!!!

Frustration

I am getting rather frustrated at the recent turn of events.

Things have been rather positive on the photography front. Getting deals and loads of enquiries. Even had people smsing me saying they love my works. That is flattering but I really hope to get even better. It is no longer enough to just shoot for fun ...... it is becoming my career....... an obsession to live,eat and breathe the business....... I want to become the best there ever can be. I was a perfectionist when I was a kid,always striving to eliminate all the flaws in my work.That was untill I saw a comic strip that told me that was there was no such things as perfection. I was just happy to laze and chill out after that. What is there to fight for if you cannot be perfect.... my downfall that might have been.

I still hope to become the very best in my trade thou. I am so madly in love with photography that I treat it as an art form.It is the only thing I wake up in the morning looking forward to....... well that and my Dearest Aver of course.......

She is the love of my life. I really cannot see what I would be like if not for her. Despite my shortcomings and insecurities, she has been more than accomodating. Not to mention my mood swings....... My Venus..... my Goddess of Love........

Have just quited my day job recently to go full swing into Photography.The 1 month notice period is a killer. When you have no intention of advancing yourself, staying in a dead end job will be just for the pay-check but when you are on your way out towards something you have always wanted to do...... it gets extremely labourous. Every single minute becomes a chore. Time ticks by ever so slowly with your heart and mind in another place. Argghh... you would wish things can end so you can move on.

I want to be the best in the industry. I want to be the man Aver can depend on for the rest of her life. I want to shower her with care and concern, gifts and time.

Before her,I was lost...... she discovered my gifts and talents and made me believe in myself.

I am moving bravely forward and my dreams I should advance towards. In the meantime, the frustrations continues..... tick tock...tick tock....tick tock.......

Escape

Escaping the hyper real world that surronds us,

What we perceive to be important and essential ,

Might not even have a significance in the bigger scope of things.

A day job while we pursue our interests……

A hobby we named them are all but excuses and safety nets.

Time to get rid of the Clutter and venture forward,

Without even looking back…… holding you dearly in my hands……

I know I will never be alone…… Loving you ,my dear Aver.
