I can do Pin Ups me…

If you follow @urbanvox on twitter you will probably remember I did a few Pinup photos with @lottieloves on Wimbledon Park last month.

Now if you know my work you will know it is not the first time I do a sexy photoshoot, and if you have ever been photographed by me you will know that I will always make sure that everyone involved is enjoying the experience. But I have to confess, I haven;t had a shoot where I had so much fun doing it in ages.

… that’s what I do…

It is compulsive and without a camera (any type of camera… even it it is just my mobile’s one) I feel naked…

I take Pictures… and that is my thing… and my addiction since… well since when I can remember. I photographed trips and days at work. Births and funerals. The first time I saw my wife and the first time I saw my sons.

I took pictures when London was bombed and of many od the celebrations that happened in the city. I photographed the Brazilian Community Night life and the day to day lives of people walking on the streets.

I’ve been published. Done photos for Magazines, Newspapers and News Portals. I’ve also done some Marketing and advertisement work.

I’ve done pretty pictures for models and hookers (OK… not hookers… they called themselves Escorts…). And Did Fun Driven Family Portraits and Celebrations for achieving the “age of the she-wolf).

I am working on a photography Book / Exhibition… OK… I’ve been working on that one for the past 2 years on and off… but hey… One day it will be out there for everyone to see it.

I can see beauty through my lenses… There is beauty everywhere and we get so busy with the ugly things that we forget to look at the pretty flowers.

You are beautiful too… no matter what you think… OK that sounds too Pink(ish)… but it is true.

I can see God through my lenses… On the minimal things… and all little thing is a celebration of LIFE!! (I don’t care if you call God God, or Ala, or Jeovah… Or THE FORCE!!! YHWH is everywhere… Spiritus… the air we breathe… LIFE and that’s what we should live and worship… LIFE… that would end soooo many wars if all saw that same lil thing… And Nope… I am not trying to convert you to any religion… RELIGION IS THE RUT OF ALL EVIL!)

But back to the subject before I start going through another tangent…

I take pictures… And that’s how I show what and how I’m feeling… The day you see me without a camera is the day you should worry about me.

Then why on earth Shouldn’t take pics of Mr. A’s LP??? Is that not part of life????

How about you??? How do you express yourself????

Vic’s been out today with AB (I like it more as AB than Mr.A… cooler codename as Mr.A reminds too much of Mr.T’s ” I pitty the fool!”… and you just can’t take someone seriously after that… heehhee). She went to the long waited Reebok event that she’s been on about for the past month or so. and because she didn’t want me ogling loads of hot mama’s in gym wear I haven’t spent much time on TB since AB was born she gave the idea that maybe we should do something together, just the 2 of us.

I loved the idea, and asked him what he wanted to do. He wanted to go to the cinema to watch “how to train a dragon” (or something like that) in 3d.  The first thing that came to my mind was ”this boy spends so much time in front of a screen already (be it watching TV, playing on computer or xbox or even watching films in his portable DVD), no… I wanna do something outdoorsy “. Since camping is out of the question at this precise moment I came up with the second best: We would go for a walk in the park. And to make things a bit more interesting we will each of us be equipped with a camera to take pretty pictures of the “adventure”.

Now, there is another thing about TB that he must have taken from me: He loves taking pretty pictures!

Since Vic took with her the camera I usually let him use, I’ve let him take my FujiFilm S9500 while I took the “robust” D100 I only use at the studio because let’s face it the thing is VERY temperamental!! Or it might just be that the Fuji is so much fun to use that it has to be my favourite. It is an entry level DSLR that if I’m not mistaken has now been discontinued but according to one of the teachers at London School of Arts is the best one can get to get started.

OK OK… enough talking about Camera Porn…

Before we left I had to clean up the memory card because he insisted on “practising” and took 58 of those:

I could post more off them but I suppose you got the drill…

After we finally finished practise I managed to pry him off the xbox and out of the door on our way to the park where he took those (click in the thumbnail to see the whole picture):

Now if you know me you will know that I am not very keen on being photographed… and I repeat what I always say: “I rather take my place in the picture behind the camera!”. But WOW!!!!! I LOVE THOSE PHOTOS!!!! The Boy is a natural!!!

And as you can see in the ones I took (the main subject obviously being TB) he even looks the part!!! Check it out:

Then of course we got to the adventure playground and he gave me his camera to go and play in these:

Boys will always be boys…

In any case I simply ADORED the day out (rainy and all)… and it definitely asks for a repeat much more often than not!

I think I needed that…

And I can die with the hope that maybe someone will take UrbanVox Photography to the next level when he grows up… what???? you never know… The boy has got the skills might as well dream with him maybe working with me…

wow!!! 1:30am already… it is officially My birthday!!!! yayayyyy!!!

The big 3.0…

Are you curious to know what I’ve been up to in my endeavour to bring UrbanVox Photography back on track? Here ‘s a quick reel of what I’ve done for the past year or so… and with that, I mark the path and start a new journey leaving behind the mess that was the Metanoia Cafe and getting back on track.

Things were slow, but I think I am starting to pick it up from where I left.

Hope you Enjoy… and if the slide-show is too fast for ya, there’s an extended version here that you might want to check.

zya!!
