I had been so dead tired recently, when to my agitation, my friend who loves theater acting, texted me and told me that we take a themed shoot the next day.
I was like, 'Good luck to me, I don't know if I could really pull it off---', I mean I wasn't conditioned to think of a concept at that time. My brain was used up, I was not in the mood to take pictures!
But my friend Phillip was so enthusiastic! Believe me, he could move mountains with his passionate pleas--- I couldn't do anything but give in. And so I did.
Last December 29, 2011, we headed to U.P., we didn't have much problems on our way. I was with my nephew, Wendell, and sister Carmel. I was skeptic about the whole thing. I didn't know if I'd get to take good pictures.... But I kept quiet, I didn't want anyone to be bugged down.
And so, the shoot took place---- I was surprised that my nephew came with us. And since Phillip wanted a Peter Pan theme--- I styled my nephew as a lost boy. Not bad--- and slowly, we had smiles on our faces.
The whole idea suddenly began to draw me in!
I like Peter Pan! Yes--- with his happy thoughts and carefree spirit--- i began to imagine what he'd be in real life! I wanted to capture him! Yes--- I want those pixie dusts and happy thoughts to come to life!
And before I knew it--- I was able to capture some good scenes! How did I ever forget to have fun? In the end--- the session gave me something to be happy about. I loved the sunset, the bonding moments, and the productive day we had. I saw the golden painting of the sun rays--- the fresh air that wafted in the air.
I learned a valuable lesson--- never let an opportunity pass you by. It may come in a package you never expected, but it will come without you knowing how much the effect it will have on your life.
Happy Thoughts--- Believe it to see it coming true!
