Nearly missed it.

Well, you can see that I'm terrible when it comes to coming up to date with things. I will try harder to actually post every Saturday, or at least not six days after. The first week of school has put me on edge, and I just haven't had much time to actually sit down and post. This also means that I haven't had much time to get out and take shots. However, I do have more shots of Xiah. So, here it is.

Week four:

Another interesting expression of Xiah. It's a pretty cool shot. The nose is very defined, however the eyes aren't. It kinda bugs me, but it changes the perspective of him. I didn't do any editing for the picture. I shot it and put it straight up onto the blog.

Since there's another Bboy jam tomorrow, I'm probably going to post again Sunday. Just maybe. Haha.

Xiah.

Unable to get a photography session in this week with Karen, I decided to have a mini shoot with my sister pet, Xiah. I haven't been able to post it until now, though. It's been a crazy day. My brother, Harvey, and my cousin Max and I went to a B-Boy jam, and our crew (Flo'riental Flava) went to the semi-finals. On our way back, one of my brother's tires blew out. In the process of replacing it with a spare tire, the good-for-nothing jack tipped, causing the car to drop. We're waiting for the tow company to call us about the status of the car this very minute. This is a great example of a good day gone bad. Anyways, here's week two.

He was a tough one; he's always jumping up at me and constantly running around the house. I had to use automatic focus because there wasn't enough time to do it manually. That's one reason why the eyes are not sharp. I really like his expression, however. It's definitely not something I can do again.

An update on the car:
It seems like the car's too low for the provider to jack it up. They have to call another provider with a low-profile jack. This means at least another hour of waiting. Karen has work at 9 in the morning, too. Fantastic. Well, California Monday.
