Fall Break

I have been having Fall Break since Thursday. It has been busy. I have to catch up with some readings and having myself  a break for a little bit. I've also been working on photos that we did last weekend and a profile about myself for a friend who has a blog about dream (click here to see the blog -- it is inspiring). I will contribute writing about my dreams and how it came true. Will post the edited photos soon! Keep safe and warm everyone!

Kiss and Love, 

Rut

Coming up soon!

Yeay! Finally got the "exchanged shoes" from Urban. Size 8 and black!

Before: It was red and the size (9) was too big.

Fall Sky Collection

October, I welcome you. Thanks for bringing such wonderful colours to Wartburg. There is nothing much to say about Ocotber; the presidential debate, my father's birthday, Zac Effron's birthday (hey, he was born in 1987 -- fyi: according to Chinese zodiac a 1991-born will make a compatible partner with 1987-born, yes Zac Efron!). And October is the month of Breast cancer awareness too, which I feel personal connection with.

Life in the college has been so smooth, as smooth as the frosting of cupcakes. I already have first-quiz for all my subjects. All the pictures above were taken during my 30 minutes study break for my International Relations class. It was on Tuesday. I could not resist not to take my camera outside to spend 15 minutes to capture the beautiful sky, trees, and leaves.

Fish-Eye Lens: The Playful Lense

I got my packet today from a camera shop in Brooklyn, NY. It is my fish-eye lens. I was so excited to have it. I also ordered a polaroid camera -- but honestly I want that fish eye more somehow! I opened first and tadaaaa... I was first dissapointed. It's a 46mm!! How the hook it is going to be screwed in to my camera? So I called the seller. He explained me. Apparently, there is an adapter of 58mm lense that I need to attach on the very top of my outer lens! It worked really well. However tho, it does not give the fish-eye effect if you zoom it in too wide, it has to be un-zoomed, or at least don't finish the zooming range. I like the round frame of the lens, however it will be too monotone with less zoom-range variations.

And here are the shoots so far.
p.s: all the photos are tweaked using Photoshop CS5 to make them look oldish like in Lomo fish eye.

Writing for Life

What I wrote in my Chloé doodling book, exactly four days before I turned 20. And I've done it so far and will be doing it - I did not want to disappoint myself in another 20 years.

If you’re dating a writer and they don’t write about you — whether it’s good or bad — then they don’t love you. They just don’t. Writers fall in love with the people we find inspiring.

Panoramic Corners of Waverly

 My ART 208 Photography I class is just getting more interesting. Day to day we got to learn different techniques in photography and also Photoshop. Starting from last week, we have exploring landscape photography which includes panoramic picture. Hello, we don't use the old panoramic camera anymore. But that is not a problem! Photoshop did a really good job of merging a sequence of pictures.

My job is just to take the photographs and Photoshop will do it all. All the places above are pretty panoramic, who believes that the hometown of my college, Waverly,  is pretty amazing!

Kiss and Love,

Downtown Waverly always interest me.
 In Jakarta we don't quite have the sense of "downtown" of each town.
 I mean Jakarta is a city and in its own town. I know it's complicated....

Look how gorgeous the arch is!

I just want to name this photograph"Bridge over troubled-water"

The distortion of the building just reminds me of the Colosseum in Rome
