the future glynis tie, done and listed.

 ok its here. i'm or rather we're finally done. i couldn't have made it without the help of these aesthetics students of mine who were all so cooperative with our shoots giving a hand for props, and their stance on their view,  with each of their own dslr(s).




the model whom i introduced last week, glynis aquino is 21 years old. 5'6' in height. she agreed to model for me, provided that--the design of the piece she is to going to wear will be within the bounds of her practice, and belief. i said no problem0,
it is a white ruffled tie with a cross pendant--i showed it, and she said yes. and named it after her.


glynis is a seventh-day adventist christian. she works part time as a graphic artist for the philippine frontier mission.
a junior student of tradigital fine arts here in aup. a diligent student of mine in aesthetics, and oriental art. a conservative
slim, fair complexioned lass. prim and proper that she is. she smiles and laughs with prudence, like covers her mouth,with a cast down eyes, while the rest of her classmates would do it rowdily,(including me, arrghh) for not being able to help it when somebody from the class cracks a very funny joke. quiet most of the time, and you can find her hanging out at the gallery in front of the monitor doing her plates, if not engaged in her part time job.








location: aup (shine on!) the finster chapel for all nations 


make up : lipgloss. the model sported a black washed jeans, black ruffled top  
          with maroon trimmings, red shirt vest, and flat slides.


photos  : charity, carla, jeanzelle, karen, joy, edrick, with each of their
          dslr(s) nikon d80s, d90s, d60 and canon 350d

the bloops.....

i don't know, but these things that i am up to these days are probably, what a. maslow is saying,--the self-actualization. maybe in the sense that, for many years i have been handling or have made to handle the subjects that deals with advertising and marketing, art and its aesthetics, the fine arts, and the applied arts. i am maybe, trying it out--in the actual scene after those years of preaching the principles, appreciation...critique...

however, i have never considered the business side, i mean the staunch side of it. this thing, "art for art's sake", "the fine arts" always gets in the way. so much so that, i do not mind even if i don't make money out of this passion, on the other hand, i even shelve out hard earned moolahs from the day job so i could sustain this "drug" that fires the otherwise drudgeries that pulls the life out of me, caused by the cares of this life.

i am rationalizing too, that these things, and the effort are part of self-improvement, so you will never get drowned with theories, and all the talkings, no actual visible outputs. maybe artists by nature are pragmatists i am thinking. what makes them different from others with different discipline and practice (yet nonetheless can be applicable to anyone) is that, heart, mind, and  even soul are engaged when inspired to act on a piece, an obra. moolahs or no moolahs. thats why maybe the "starving artist" was coined. stubbornly insistent, acting out of passion, at times or many times, beyond reason.

here are some bloops by the way... during the shoots. i maintain as much as possible low maintenance on everything. i,e...

natural lighting, minimal make-up or nothing at all, time is precious... most of these are done, in between breaks--classes, lectures, exchange deals :-).

 the school, the academe is indeed, a ground  to nurture, develop, encourage, hone, incubate ideas, and skills, ideals, with the enthusiastic minds and simultaneous, or later be tried beyond its walls and grounds. all the best--would be my wish of these youths which were once beside me exploring and filling the halls and rooms with laughter.
