[velasco] Embracing vivid expressions whenever possible.

[velasco]

Embrace life thru a stunning spectacle of vibrancy- that’s what I chose to experience thru photography. Rejuvenated version! No more pressure to post daily, I will post whenever time permits this time round.
Since its Ramadan, less hectic schedules and motivation from you guys, I decided to rejoice this thread and start anew. I will need all your kind support to make every post here worthwhile.

I will try my best to include some inputs and poetic intervention accompanying the photos. I apologize beforehand should there be shortcomings in my expressions and way of thought. Hope you enjoy the world thru my eyes. For the photographs you are about to witness, they are captured mostly using a Canon Powershot S5 IS.

I'd play a song that would never ever end


Papa, do you still remember?
just the two of us
sitting, waiting, wishing.
I won't let go Papa.
I won't go to the city.
I'd rather stay here
in your arms.
I'm home , Papa.
I'm home,
but you ain't there.

bury the hatchet


To make believe your delusions
the ones you tried conceal with your actions
the rusty melody we waltzed before
now some clutterings left on the floor
the pride just chaotic flaps
the doves fell from grace's steps
bury the hatchet , my friend
lest you suffer the fall
in the end

avenging freedom


we are yearning for tomorrow,
we know we will get hold by monday.
of the vengeance we clouded the sorrows,
that we will breathe in someday.
and till the day knocks on our front door.
by when we stood brave fearful no more.
its time to force the rhythm,
its time to avenge freedom

over a sacred sky


you brushed sins over the
hollow skies.
you mocked the star trails
with your lies.

it won't be easy to not touch the wind
it won't be easy to be side by side air
and try to deny its presence
and act like you don't care

you're guardian of Heavens
but your deadly eyes down on Earth
over the sacred skies you reign
the very claws you pierced thru love.

MASIH



Cahaya kemerahan mengusir habisnya embunnya mentari
Sisa yang baluti nadi ceria siangan t’lah malap nyinsing pergi
Kecundangnya si srikandi,tumpahnya darah si hawa mengalir
Tersungkuh dari takhta pujaan,terlerai perjuangan dulu abadi
Apakah tercicir kasih sayang dalam semak kemelut kekacauan?
Apakah keganasan bebas merayau, biarkan ikhsan terus ditawan?
Masih kabur mata dunia,cengkaman pedih asap-asap percikan api
Masih keras hati dunia,masih enggan ganjak tegakkan paksi

-a tribute to the late Benazir Bhutto
I dont know if this is allowed but this malay poetry i wrote is very significant to the photograph.

ic, hah... design is fun and interesting when doing at leisure...but doing it for a living is a different thing... if you don't mind long long hours of working, meeting tight deadlines and get criticism from lay person who knows nuts about design and not willing to pay for ideas...
teaching in design might be fun though... I'm in interior design btw.
