citra hunting

most of my hunting here in medan are done with people from citra photography school
the following are with them too
this time it was only the 3 of us
our very first outing
well, this one is before the 3 models photoshoot at the previous entry
and today's post are taken from 2 different outings
both were quite short
where in one of them i've only frame 18 images
so can combine the two together



my very first outing with them were to selecta
a restaurant
we were there to frame indoor decorations prior to a wedding dinner
aswin, amei and i made the team
the coming up next pic in the previous entry were taken there
other than that i didn't frame much
well, most of them doesn't make it to my standard thou
so only 1 lor
after that we went to the streets
kesawan square
well, not inside
just outside along the road of kesawan square


























and then i framed a few pics
like 3 low speed pics
before it began to drizzle a bit
so i move in and saw this

























it then drizzle a bit more
so we decided to make a move
but then as for going on an outing with me
the guys had said that it'll never rain as long as the camera is out
and i wasn't satisfied yet
so i told them let's go to another place before we call it a day
and true enough
once we reach
the rain just stops

























i don't know what's that place called
but the walls over there has quite a number of graffiti around
we shot from across the street
and then this aswin went over and asked me to shoot him
i not happy with the results either

























one final shot and we called it a day
a night actually
the next outing happen the very next day
amei, jansen and i made this team next
we were at citra discussing where to go before finally deciding on the location
we went to an overhead bridge right above the train station

























it was here that i framed only 18 pics

























the temple that is under construction still next to the train station

























half-way shooting
we met this two "anak jalanan" who were damn friendly
telling us of the train schedule
sang for us
and we just gave them a pack of cigs in return
well, they said that they live very near the train station
thou i've forgotten their name
our conversations that night still remain vivid in my mind
saddening
these guys were 17
and they've never attended school
and i asked them why not
and their reply were simple

"yah, harus bantu ibu ayah bang"
"yah, gotta help our parents"

i asked if they'd want to go to school
the reply were again obvious
a simple smile and a nod
followed by a

"ya kalau bisa pasti mau donk bang"
"if we could of course we'd want"

7 shooting 3

wew
it's less than a week away till singapore again
damn
time flies
nothing much to say
so here are the models !

so then, we went to this place called royal sumatra
a luxurious housing estate on the other side of the town
but then half way there rain terribly
when it rains the road = traffic jam
and if it rains like cats and mice for 1 hour tak-stop

brastagi'ed

aight !
I'M BACK !
home sweet home at last
but then again
i kinda think i'm getting sick
maybe too tired or what
all i know is...
i've just shot close to 800 pictures on this 1 week trip alone !
aight...let's finish brastagi !














we didn't shoot much at all at brastagi
actually
i can't even remembered whipping out the 400d out for the entire 2 days 1 night
something really interesting happened the night there
so
all the 7 of us were down there at the villa singing singing happily
kareoke-ing all that la
then the gals started to make lots of noise
me buay tahan noisy noisy noisy place
i don't know why
but i was kinda just busted out
so i then off the dvd player with the remote at my hand
so then we were just chatting
talking talking talking
laughing our balls off
when suddenly...
a song suddenly PLAYED !
I SWEAR i tell you
it played by ITSELF
seriously
well, we all end up sleeping together
guys on the floor
the ladies up on the bed
before that they were playing monopoly still -.-"
i was so freaking tired i dozed off immediately i hit the bed

so the next morning
the drivers who were sleeping downstairs were telling me that
they felt something in white kept walking by outside their window
when outside their window is the kitchen which i've already locked before i went to bed
= no way to get in la
and one of them who went to the toilet at around 5 a.m. said that they still heard noises upstairs
when we all were already asleep by 3+ a.m.
weird ?

btw, that song was
ai hen jian dan by david tao
everytime it plays at me touch
kinda make me hair stand for a bit
i shall delete it soon

























aight
to me
going to brastagi is totally unnecessary
coz there was practically nothing much to shoot there
actually
nothing also
there are of course
but the gals would definitely won't wanna explore
so all we did there were just
theme park-ing
at
mickie's holiday

























well it's definitely fun !














that small girl there is homesick's cousin

























we played till like around 4+
then we were already on our way down










well
i did a jump before we left thou

























and then it was the road
did i said that the place is cold ?
something like genting highlands like that
mist all over
and it was terribly thick on our way down












aight !
finally the trip over there
coming up soon !

we finally reached the piso piso !
we parked
and the piso piso is way down 1001 stone staircases away !
but we didn't go all the way down thou
















see that small hut there ?
there's where we went to take our pics
and that was barely halfway down !



















halfway down to the hut
i stopped and whipped out the cam
took that shot
and continue the journey
the way down was easy
but halfway down
i was already sure
the way up
is gonna be miserable



















once we reached
the tripod stood long
both st and homesick were busy capturing moments at the piso piso
while i shot the other way

























once they're done
