Ling and Tak: Engagement

To those who left comments, and those who sent emails, and not to mention the messages on facebook, THANK YOU. Your warm words were really much appreciated. It was just as awesome (YAY to facebook for powerfully connecting so many of us on the web!) to finally see faces to the names of those who have been faithfully reading this corner of the web, as well as meeting for the first time those who have been following this blog but haven't as yet surfaced in the comments field :) Huge appreciation from me :)

And just to clear things up, I didn't write the last post with the motivation to attract attention or sympathy. My blog is and always will be a personal and pictorial documentation of my life, and sometimes in life we are thrown in the deep end - I'd rather be known as, and related to as a real person, with feelings, dreams, and disappointments just like the rest of you, than a perfectly always-happy photographer who takes pretty pictures :)

Anyway, onto the photos. This post, and the next will sadly be short on words and won't be playing a slideshow due to the extreme squeeze on time, life has pressed upon me these days. However I thought showing some photos is better than none right? :) I just know that if I had to blog the way I would love to blog each and every time, some of these photos might never make this face of cyberspace! And that would just make me sad.

So, without futher ado! Introducing Ling and Tak. This lovely couple spent a few hours scurrying around Sydney with me one recent afternoon getting their snaps done, and here are some of my favourites!

I have to admit, I'm a real sucker for shapes, and lines :)

I loved the backlighting that was pouring in, in this alley.

Mmmm...you know I can never pass up yummy flare if I see it!! :)

This was one of my favourites from the session. The lines, the colour of the sky, the light - just loved it! :D

Most of you know I hardly EVER take wide shots, but I just loved the lines that were part of this backdrop. I couldn't resist! :)

And here my favourite :) I will be the first to admit here that multiple layered shots are not a new idea, however it has been something I have been wanting to try for about a year after being inspired by the AWESOME kaisers! Finally found a backdrop that I thought was interesting enough to fit the idea :)

Thank you Linda who helped me out, and thank you to Tak and Ling for hanging out with me, bearing the cold, and doing all the crazy things your photographer asked you to do. Much love!

Okay, its 3am, I'm off to bed! I have to get up in about 4 hours!! :)

Another post with a shoot, in line for Friday! :D Til then!
