Benefiting from being helpfull

I must say sometimes when you’re helpfull you can benefit from it too in time.

Months ago, Hio Taringa and myself were spoken to while we were shopping at the infamous Armidi sim.
A girl named Sonya Halberd (a total stranger to both of us) overheard us talking about our pictures and asked if we would be willing to take some of her for some clothing store’s “Runway contest” (basically you take a picture of yourself in the clothes from that shop and enter it in the weekly / monthly competition).

We were up for it, and both Hio and me made a handfull of pictures of her.

She picked one of my pictures to enter in that “Runway contest”, and after a couple weeks of voting it eventually won!

Sonya was so pleased with winning she wanted me to take some more pictures, and on top of that, she spread the word of me being a small photographer.

Not long after I finished the 2nd set for her some of her friends contacted me too, and soon MsRam Pinklady, Iza Cooljoke and Tera Saeed were standing in my photosphere aswell. And it pleases me that i’m able to say that all of them were happy with what I made for them.

And now, I was happy to do a shoot for Wynn Whitfield.

She became so joyfull at one point during the shoot for some shades of blue I was playing with, I decided to do the majority of her pictures with diffirent shades of blue. Some turned out more artistically then your average portfolio or profile picture, but I think they still work, (and we all know and appreciate those Warhol 4-panel portraits, right?).

If you want to see all Profile / Portfolio pictures I ever made, go check out my Flickr Set.

So, this proves that there are good sides on being helpfull: you might benefit from your goodness for months!

Arthole Opening

Time
It’s something totally annoying if you ask me, you either don’t have enough of it or are bored so much it’s making you crazy.

I managed going to the opening of Arthole by Arahan Claveau and Nebulosus Severine, with Ichibot Nichi, but (sadly) couldn’t stay for the entire opening party. I knew I wanted to go ever since I heard it was gonna take place, but when I heard the date I knew Real Life stuff the following day would force me to go to bed before all “opening activities” were over.

For those of you who don’t know it yet: “Arthole is a collaborative art space hosting a collection of work by Nebulosus Severine & Arahan Claveau, also featuring work by guest artist Ichibot Nishi“.

So, last Saturday (26th of April 2008) I dressed up, TP’d over and tried to use my time well.

I didn’t focus on taking pictures very much, just focused on the artworks.
Now I won’t spill too much information here, since I think you all should go check it for yourself.
Arahans works on the main floor are both varied and open for multiple interpretations. There was one piece you just have to collide with (seriously). His works on the 1st level are more serene and will certainly calm your mind.
All I’ll spill about the top level (where Ichibot has a private floor) is that you’ll have to duck… for boobs ;o)

I have to admit I was amazed by what Nebulosus Severine is showing on the 2nd level!
