Swatch watch

Posted: Thursday, July 23, 2009 by Stained in

I bought a Swatch about 6 years back for AED375/-. Since then I haven't bought a new one to replace it as it still works fine though lately it's been scratched up a little. Anyway since coming back from India this February, I've noticed that my watch gets more than second glances i.e. I've seen people staring at my watch as if it's some branded AED5,000/- worth diamond encrusted or something like that watch. Odd!!! I don't know if this is an after effect of recession but it does feel like it. And it's not just the blue collar job people, even white collar job people have been spotted staring....wish things would become better......

2010 Ford Mustang #1

Was asked to cover the press launch of the 2010 Ford Mustang. They started the event at 6pm while the track section of the event started at 7:10pm. A little too dark for my 400D that had trouble focusing even with the faster lens I had. Had to bump the ISO up to compensate for the lack of light and my 400D isn't the best high ISO camera(it's one of the worst as it's old). Got a few still photos while the actions photos gcme terrible. Anyway it was a nice day out though I had a bath in my own sweat as it was HOT!!!Shooting Date/Time : 7/16/2009 20:35:20 PM

I'm not here to stay....

Falling pieces
Devastating my fantasies
Are you going somewhere...
Will you take me there?
Is this the instigation...
Of something new
Will you understand me?
I’m not here to stay...

Forward and backwards
Trapped in your arms..
Please have faith in me
Don’t want to hurt..
Dawdle for a moment
Watching you smile
Will you understand me?
I’m not here to stay..

The last second
Final goodbye
Why am I crying
I’m not here to stay...
Will you understand me?
After it ends...
Will you forgive me?
Don’t want to hurt..

Yup, I've started writing poetry again. As someone told me once, I write best when depressed...and depressed I am!!!

Borrowed my friends car to take some shots of it to initiate a start in building a portfolio of car shots that are possibly advertisement worthy to spam advertising agencies. Here are a few shots from that shoot....

Miss me....

25/06/09

Steer clear of my way
I need to get down on my knees
Pleading for one more opportunity
Eternally forgotten in the mob

Manoeuvre myself to the dais
Squealed out loud to seize attention
Move along...
There’s nobody to appreciate here

Then I call out to my people
Wishing they’d bail me out
They look around seeking something
Unearth stones and hurl them at me

Crushed and battered I clamber under the sheets
I slump there entirely disregarded
The world passes me by
And someone has yet to miss me...

Wish I could write poems like I used to. I think this one is good, but it still sucks in comparison to the ones I used to write!!!!
