Carol a.k.a. Cheryl, - a gal that I've kept my eyes on since last year. I met her in www.miricommunity.net, when she pmed me on May 26, 2008 1:18 pm asking if I'm a photographer. I told her I'm just started off photograhy. She replied "...means haven't graduate lar... LOL !!"
I found her to be very photogenic from her avatar pictures, however I do not dare to approached her for a photoshoot, because I've yet to have any portfolio to show to her, until I found out she's interested in doing photoshoot for her 21st birthday (If I'm not mistaken). Then, Thu Oct 09, 2008 2:22 pm, the the day I pmed her asking if she would like to do a photoshoot with us, and gladly she agreed. However, the process of having a photoshoot does not come without constraints. Having to work away from Miri makes me hard to find an opening to do a shoot with her. I've even missed out a shoot organised by my buddy, Terrick in December.
Then I've been very idle in photography until March 2009, when I was offshore in Africa. I logged into my MSN and we started talking about photography, and Carol did once again mention about having a photoshoot together. From there onwards, I've been planning and thinking and discussing with Carol and others about the photoshooting session and we've set a date that falls on 25th April 09. It has been one of the greatest anticipation that I had throughout the year. It is a time for me to prove that I'm not rusty after being idle for 4 months!!! Well, as what they always said: The higher you climbed, the harder you'll fall. That's what happened to me when my greatest fear struck me - she can't make it to the shoot! A clear sunny day suddenly became rainny day. I was very disappointed with the news that I received from a SMS.
BUT it happened to me on the day itself that miracles appear in my life. She called me, telling me that she has done with her things, and she is ready to ROCK N' ROLL! We quickly gather, and proceed with our shooting as per planned. Although we started late, but it was a very successful photoshoot, thanks to a collective effort by all people.
To me, she is not only a great gal, but she is also a superb model!
