Plan

Got Plans?

Andriano and Nuri, 2011

Singapore

Everyone's got a "Plan", so to speak. 

My friend Chris Goodney is losing his vision. He was claimed Bloomberg Newswire's best photographer by their chief editor, and his vision goes blind. 

Was that in his plan? I swear not. 

Before he started photography his life-time girl got crushed by a car. And just like that, he started photography and just like that, his life plan on a girl went somewhere. 

What about me? 

I couldn't graduate from high-school. I snuck into college, and I got out of Parsons with honors. That was never in my plan. I was studying architecture and apprenticing under a photographer I met at Chelsea's starbucks, and my first job was sweeping floors and holding a chord... so the damn photographer wouldn't trip over. 

Mr. Steve Jobs even said "you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."

I truly believe in that. 

I don't have no Rand on my back or Atlus being shrugged. All I do and believe is in making things better for myself and people around me. 

But that kind'a sounds like a plan.

What's New?

At this point, everyone is waiting for aliens to come. 

I'm neutral. 

Around 3AM last night, a friend texted me saying he's about to change location. 

At 12 noon, he texted me he was still awake listening to music, at a different location. 

Party goers are always fun. 

I wonder if aliens partay too. 

The Paaty

Singapore, 2011

I went to this Paaty and stuck around this Dj. 

We traveled in the van with Matt stuck in the back. 

Met an architect dancing on the floor.

Three Compositions

Matt and Andriano, 2011

To me, being around good people is first. 

Situation comes second. Then time comes third. 

When it's all about the composition, it's all about Black and White. 

My friend and a photographer Igor Molochevsky taught me that long ago. 

"Wow, Full-Power" my friend Andriano smiles and says that all the time. 

Photographing moving people is hard. You've got to move with them, at the same velocity to catch their life. Where in the world are they going?

Well, you've gotta move along.
