Soooo I was gonna do this tag after I open all my presents or present today but here's the thing... I got no presents ;.;  I don't know where in the world this is fine that my mom went out of her way to get all my brothers something and didn't even get me one small thing. Nothing at all! I'm trying not to let it hurt me because I don't want to seem ungrateful to her but I can say my feelings here right? I'm honestly hurt by this the fact that I got absolutely nothing is...

So yesterday I decided to shoot some self portraits I know I'm not a model or anything but I got to admit that these pictures came out so well! It's crisp and clean even though I did quite a bit of editing on it to achieve the look! Why is it crisp and clean you ask? The answer is RAW! It's a picture format and even though I was a bit scared to shoot with it the results was so worth it. Raw is somewhat like the negative of the picture, it's dull and plain when it is...

While I was absent from this blog I found myself painting many watercolor portraits, I don't know if it's because I'd like to take up self photography or whatever but I did notice what improvements I need to make in my portrait game. Detail For someone reason I think all my portraits lack detail. They all lack the extra something that makes you stare at them for a long time wondering how the hell the artist did it. Maybe it's my insecurities that makes them lack the detail they need.. Every time I paint a face, I do the eyes and...

There's so many things happening in my life that sometimes it's hard to sit down, collect my thoughts and write a blog post.  I've recently did my first photography job, I've also been notified that I got accepted into college and I have to study for an exam that's in early January. On top of all these I seem to have gotten myself sick way too often in the past two months.  Apparently I'll be starting college around the 17th or so in January but I have an exam on the 15? Just imagine the stress I went...

Now being a pure trini I was curious what foreigners thought about our up coming Hindu festival Diwali and honestly I'm slightly horrified at the description they gave. Yes I understand that that most foreigners don't know the right terms and such but still! Give a little more respect man! This year I have decided that I'll finally write my own account of this glorious festival and share some light about the true happens that takes place. Now I'm not Hindu so I won't go into detail about the spiritual side of the festival in fear that I get...

Welcome to my first segment of Tea Time Thursday! On this segment I talk about random things that's happening in my life, my thoughts and new ideas that I'm thinking up.

I'm a person with many interests. They vary from Music to Kpop to Photography to Art such as drawing and painting to Graphic Arts to Youtube to Style to Fashion to Makeup to Cooking to Crafting and so on. so it's very hard for me to decide what exactly I should blog about. Everyone recommends that you have a specific theme throughout or to just talk about what you're passionate about, but what if what I'm passionate about is more than five things? Will my readers be confused and decide not to follow me? Will I lose people...

Hey guys so today we'll be discussing how you use your new DSLR (even if you don't have one yet it's still good knowledge) now.. I've been roaming around the Internet for quite some time and it seems that in every photography blog no matter how much they explain there's still that one person who still doesn't get it or sometimes the writer left out some stuff. But don't worry, I'm here and being a beginner myself we'll slowly enter the world of professional photography. In this post I'll be sharing a few posts that have helped me...

I admit that it's hard to get what I want in life. Like right now.. everyone else is at school furthering themselves but I'm stuck at home for another four months before i can make a move towards my future. I think it's hard to stay motivated when I feel all alone with no one who can relate or I can actually talk to. Yes I get assistance from my mom and yes she works hard to support me but i honestly can't stand the way she treats me, accuses me and puts me down most times. Am...

I wish I was there to hug you tightly as you cry yourself to sleep every night but I'm not. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and discover...

                My level of inconsideration. Inconsideration.. Definition.. Lack of thought for others Am I being inconsiderate?  I think it's foolish..to throw my heart out for people that won't do the same. Is that self-fish? Someone smart told me, not to change myself because of other people But what if I'm tired of being used? I always listen to their cries yet mine goes unheard And even when I try to start.. They go on about their self.. Yeah.. I'm the one being selfish. I always try to look at it as good...
