In search of loving life (1)

This week was shaken up by my studies ! too many bummers ! oncology exams coming on the 2^nd of april. Pediatrics certificate made 1 week shorter because of heartbeat concert ( the biggest certificate of the 5^th year) and of course I did not start my full throttle studies….yet ;)

The weekend  (19th) was pretty cool  I searched the spring for its bright colors:

the 1st shot is  an  almond tree with its beautiful blossoms, I isolated with the Depth Of Field one single blossom so it gave the
picture a little bit of, lets call it mystery 

I was leaving when I accidentally found this grass hopper, amazingly it did not flew away

DOF can make miracles !

Now I would like to share the shots I made at my university. I decided to take a lot more shot of people (Actually taking their faces in my viewfinder ). I chased a lot of moments and a lot of my friends... sometimes literally CHASING.
But of course while doing so i found this pretty looking flower, it was standing there in front of everybody ! it was waiting for me on a silver plate (20th):

the lighting was amazing ! i waited for the wind to wave the trees that were blocking the sunlight ! waited for the perfect moment and took the shot!
next time ill ask a girl to sniff the flower i think it will be sensual and caring, That way I can practice my portrait shots

warming filter and bleach bypass on this picture

  

While I was sitting chatting with my friends, a can of Pepsi was my focus (bummer for my friends) I shot it at different angles and it somewhat annoyed them but yeah well they are used to it ! 

Leftovers

                        After all I said to myself lets take people on film it started with this picture (21st) :

okay Not "people", a good start.. with feet

Continued with this one:

My signature shot "the cellphone shot" eyelashes perfectly exposed, totally focused face on the cellphone. pretty smile. It is amazing but now I actually wait for people to grab their phones :D

My last portrait shot ended the following day (22nd)

Coolest girl ever :D I've met her last year she is Alina a nutritionist student and the thing that was in common between us was, wait for it, Astronomy  kinda cool ain't it ? As I was perfectly blind last year I only found out now that this person is as awesome as me ! Anybody can find him/herself comfortable around her and B-T-W  she was my inspiration for the blog and page i thank you again :) (story 1st post). 

As the day continued she didn't want to take any picture of her but she wanted to take pictures of me , of course I refused because I hate taking poses so solution a third person (thank you christelle) to shoot us a picture :D

I thought my day was over when my dear Friend Nadim prepared me a little surprise with our schoolmate Aline (actually 2 different schools lol :P), we went to Hamra- Beirut. I never been there because you know I sucked at having party and good time. Nadim was the Beer Master introduced us to hamra and the world of Beers he practically knew everything about beer and the lebanese *fake* beer :D 

This beer Effectively is the worst you can taste so please ask  for 961beer and order some real lebanese beer please !  (More on that in another post)

Those are some shots made in the streets of Hamra-beirut ! I really adore the street because I at last filled a bit of my urban album on facebook :

 nadim and aline ! thanks guys :D

red booth ! Manchester United Lovers yeah !

The blind Pig Bar ! Great name for a bar

Oscar Wilde pub

 Oscar Wilde pub, this shot was a slow syncro flash, warming cross processing and bleaching at different % each layer

this shot would look wonderful on printout !

the pub street ! the photo would have been perfect if not for that guy with his stupid phone -.-

I really encourage to visit Lebanon and check on its awesome nightlife ! You just need the right persons in the wrong place to make all the difference in  the world ;)
