I live in Singapore

I live in Singapore.

I've got no post updates because a) it's dry season and even though its raining outside, shoots ain't got much atm, b) I've been playing Tropico 5 on PS4. You get to be a dictator in a situation kinda like Singapore.

So I'm a dictator on an island learning trades from international assholes (power countries) and fighting rebels (my own people) whom I piss off.

I now know how hard it was for Singapore to survive. Rigging elections, trading with smugglers and keeping up the maritime industry.

I've been collaborating with these guys to get some good shots.

Fancy ness is delivered ;DD

sculpture shot

Tuesday hits with a hint of Monday in the back.

Wednesday skips itself to be another day and,

Thursday is a reminder of all the rest to come...

Everyday we keep aside our life from our bathroom.

Even though we face ourselves inside...

Flush away, wash away, just like yourself...

Maybe we need a reminder like a mirror in a cell,

Just so that you can remember your creases and well,

Now wait, why don't you put a sculpture or two.

You know when you rinse your face in the morning,

You need a distraction like in the news,

that puts you away from the busy things in our mind.

So let Monday hit you in the back unconsciously,

And wake up to be Saturday morning so fast...

Look around, you've got all day to remember, that,

That you've got unnecessary things to look at.

Cosplay

日本でコスプレを撮りました。

なぜ、とか聞かないでね（笑

まぁ、ぶっちゃけ、コスプレもファッションの一つとなり得る昨今、やはり着飾るモノとして撮るべきものの一つ思い、此度、知人友人の手伝いを伴い撮影をいたしました。

しかしさすがコスプレ。
生地のクオリティがやはり荒い。幻想を着飾るわけですから、ハイ・ファッションとはちょっと違います。どっちもファンタジーなんですけどね。

普通のファッション（普通とか・笑）とやはり違うのは衣装を着る、違うキャラクターを演じる点でしょうか。
ファッションも自分を演出する点では、すでに違うキャラを演じる行為に近いのですが、幻想のレベルが違います。

妄想？

まぁとにかく、アニメ・漫画の世界は別世界。
別世界に突入ってことで突っ走る次元がすこし違うのです。
撮り方も違います。ファッションでは肌＝リアル、なのですが、コスプレは肌＝アニメ。

ここですでに色の質感が変わってきます。フラット＋ビビッドが求められる。え？フラットとビビッドってなんか矛盾してないか？

矛盾にこそ真実がある、とは誰かの言葉。
そんなわけでコスプレに挑戦しました。

最終的に言えることは。。。かなりはっちゃけてもイケる（写実的に）。
