Probably you have heard about it. Perhaps you havnt heard about it.

It was truly a last minute thing, and I had planned it with my good sch classmate weichao.

This was the plan, to setup a small location on orchard road on valentines day, to shoot passing by couples and sit down or stand still on some decorations I have provided.

The intent was sort of like making time stand still for both of them, and in the busy orchard road, the crowd behind them is blurred by the fast movement, and at that moment, only the couple is fixed, and in that spilt second, time will stand still for them.

Anyway I forgotten much of wad I want to write. My sister was hogging the com.

It was great to have lots of friends to come and support and help out. I cldnt have made it without their help.

Anyway a post mortem of my project.

I spent over $200++
Some of the photos where blur.
I owe ivy and her cousins a treat
I owe them their pay!
I owe weichao some cash too
I owe webhosting money

I had a pay of $270 and allowance of $100 of 2 wks. I'm left with $20+. For 2 wks.
And btw I think I dont have enough money to print out 20 8R photos for my portfoilo submission.

Call this lousy planning.

And I wanted to capture the spirit of valentine's day, like why the day is special to you, how did you celebrated it.

I actually wanted my photos to be of inspiration to other couples who arnt doing too well in their romance. And hopefully they can rekindle their love for each other.

To me, it was a 3/10 for the event. And at the end of the day, people came in groups/pairs and left in groups and pairs. I, well, went alone home to think what went wrong.

Happy valentine's day.
