ladies and gentlemen, jordin sparks

your attention please!

i took sixto (my nikon d60, for those who doesn't know) for some fun. i asked one of my office mates to pose for me.

ladies and gentlemen, i give you jordin sparks:

that's the real jordin sparks. here are the photos i took:

(click photos to enlarge)

i did her make-up and the photo shoot in less than 2 hours. i know, the shot is still amateur. but practice makes perfect, right?

so that i can really do some practice, i'm doing a project right now. i'll be taking profile head shots or photo shoot or whatever for my friends and officemates. i think it's a lovely and a very exciting idea. i'm thinking one subject every weekend. which brings me to my dilemma: i need volunteers.

pretty please, can you be my volunteer?

make love with the camera!

your attention please!

i've decided. i'm naming my nikon d60 as sixto(ooh) with the ooh factor.

*i look harassed in the pic. i took that photo around 11 am after 18 hours of no sleep

meet my boyfriend

your attention please.

everybody calls their new toy baby. but i think i'm too young to be a mother or a father so i refuse to call my new toy baby. instead, i'm calling him my boyfriend. here he is:

(it's a nikon d60, yey!)

now, what i need is a name for new boy toy. gik calls her d60 dixie. as in short for d60. charles calls his d40 nikki for obvious reasons. ivy calls hers nikko. so, it looks like i'm the only person left with no name for my newest toy. so, i need your creative powers to work for me. help me come up with a name, pretty please?

ps: i'd like to thank two guys who helped me get this new toy. they are:

butch who helped me decide which unit to go for. i was deciding to either get a d40x or a d60. a dslr owner himself (he owns a canon eos 400d), he pointed out the pros and cons of each unit. i ended up buying the d60, thanks to his advice.

and

arvin who braved the streets of quiapo and bought the camera for me. i jokingly call him my new best friend because of the favor he extended to me. thank you bff!

pps: whoever comes up with the coolest name will win a dinner date with either butch or arvin. kidding! i'm serious on the name though.
