Firefighter or Firestarter?? :)

Written by UrbanVox 2 Comments

TB woke up today with a one tracked mind: He was to spend the whole day in his firefighter costume.

He finished his second breakfast (don’t ask…) and found a basket at his Toy-room (the conservatory) full of his costumes and whilst rampaging through them he found both the Spiderman and Firefighter costumes (no interest in the Peter Pan one today).

After 2 minutes he decided what he wanted to wear (it took me other 15 to convince him to wear some other piece of clothing underneath) and he became Mr. firefighter.

“Daddy, firefighters go everywhere by car, so you need some lights in the car so we can go to the hub (The Metanoia Cafe)”

IT is just a 5 minute walk from home so I convinced him that firefighters do loads of healthy stuff like walking… plus sometimes they can’t get through traffic on their cars so they take their firefighter scooters. That was enough to convince him.

After a very cool scooting around + arty craft making and PSP playing and generally being bored day, at about 3 pm we were VERY bored I decided to close up shop a lil earlier and go home.

Well, that’s not the only reason why we closed up shop earlier. I have received the news that some big Photography company is about to open a studio at the Mills, which infuriated me profoundly. That and the whole Bulshit Telecom Broadband problem (engineers coming to fix it tomorrow apparently) were enough reasons for me go home and do something about the piles of work on the Metanoia Website and advertisement I have to finish… the day was being VERY slow anyways…

And that was enough (after talking to a photographer interested in renting the studio and to Kathia yesterday) to accelerate my plans to make photography a weekday fulltime thing to dedicate to photography again. Just taking a different approach this time offering the courses I had already planned to offer at the HUB.

What saved the day was the idea of taking advantage of TB’s firefighter cuteness… hehehehe

Before coming home we took some time to take some pictures to properly test the studio capabilities…

We had loads of fun… and I kinda liked the photos! TB is a natural in front of the camera.

If you wanna take a look at the photos, click at the image bellow:

TB the Firefighter (or firestarter?)

You can also watch the Animoto Video of the TB’s phototshoot right down here.

Hope you liked it!

And if you want some like that taken of ya gi’me a shout… I can both set an appontment at the Upper Room Studio for ya or I can go to you to do the photos. I have a portable Kit that I can take to wherever you are…

Anyways…

zya!

Ups… I did it again!

Just got in another pickle of a project… well maybe this one is a bit less of a pickle, because my dad thinks a lot like me… And he actually accepts suggestions when I am developing something for him… hehehehe but hey… The fact is that I am still with way too much in my hands and got a new site to do… Well… At least I am being paid to do this one!

It looks like I am back into business. Back to photographing and designing, which can’t be at all bad. Some extra money coming in can be VERY handy. My next photography job is that of Giovanna (the girl on the photo bellow).

Tommy's Baby sitter

I’ve shown some of her pics to a friend of mine that works for an advertisement agency that was looking for Latino girls for a photoshoot or something like that, and they said she’d be fine, but she’d have to go through an agency etc etc. So, she’s gonna try her luck in order of going for a contract with an agency, one good enough to renew her visa status in the country.

All good and all… I will find it a bit weird taking the pictures on the style she’s going for… not that I won’t like it, as I said before, I love it… but the fact is that I will find it a bit weird… Why??? hehe… well first she is a member of my base group… … and second she is TB’s nanny… Which means… it will be weird seeing her in not a lot of clothing… Ok… I can handle it… but it will be at least interesting… lol!

I am so grateful that people can’t actually hear my thoughts as they vortex inside my head… which by the way… doesn’t stop for a second… I was observing a couple of girls chatting on the train today and I had to control myself soooo hardly not to burst into laughter… hehehehe… not because of what they were saying, but because of what started going on in my mind when I started analyzing their body language (Sorry… one thing you need to know is that I do this all the time… is second nature… worked for so long doing that that I can’t help it… heeheheh… ok… some times I do it in purpose, and some times I simply start giving them exaggerated meanings and mount lil theatric stories in my head … like what happened with that one up there… but my excuse is that I was bored from the train journey and it amused me so you can’t blame me! ).

I am a weirdo… I know… u don’t need to tell me…

We’re a Thocratic Movement again! yay!

zya!
