Radiation Mutation

Poster Boy

Nope, I'm not a big fan of Jay-r so I won't be caught dead posting his pictures on my blog. You're looking at his deadringer, Dr. Jerome who rotated in our department last month. He's apparently my first model who sparked up my interest in reviving my photography skills.

A week ago, I scheduled a photo shoot with the brother of Ruby (one of our interns). I took notice of his talent through Ruby's friendster photos. I told Ruby we'll hire him. My friends and I are bent on this outdoor pictorial which is something we want to do before we grow old or settle down (which ever comes first). Unfortunately, I had the worst time trying to nail the agreement as the appointed photographer wouldn't reply to my texts. Hence I cancelled and decided to take matters into my own hands, to shoot the photos myself.

I hardly explored the features of my canon ixus digicam ever since I bought it. The other day I brought the camera's manual to work and while reading it, I directed the camera on Jerome to try it. Being the self-confessed narcissist that he is, he began posing and wouldn't stop. Never mind if it freaked out the people entering the reading room.

Even if I was behind the camera, and not posing for it, as I always do, I had fun. I promised Jerome I'll give him copies and I'm posting now the edited versions of some of the pics I shot. He says he fancies seeing his face on the billboards. These shots should feed his fantasies for now.

Anyone willing to teach me new photo tricks or volunteer as my next guinea pig, err, model, can get in touch with me. No nudes, though. Unless you're Luke Jickain. By the way, Jerome arranged for a nude pictorial with Ruby's brother next week. That's something I couldn't volunteer shooting. Besides, he couldn't let me handle that coz he fears I'll sell the pics to his patients. Hehe. Good luck to both of them.
