Fotocology Lights Up!™

So we finally invested and bought our way into the foray of studio. Cost us quite a bomb but we were smothered by our enthusiasm in getting the equipment today. Lugged it home and thanks to Julian who was the designated driver today! Really grateful! I did not drive because it probably doesnt make sense to have two cars in city during peak hours.

Our first trial "set" ended up eventually at my place. We just decided to set the softboxes and lights up just to test if they were all working fine. It ended up being lots of great fun, and at the same time, we made mental notes of most things we needed to. I guess my fur cushions on the couch finally can be put to good use! Kinda adds a luxe factor to the whole set up! I also thought the fire extinguisher kinda adds a certain disposition to the onset. Kinda makes me laugh really!

Am glad we settled for elinchrom because from what I observe, the quality is assured and it seems quite hardy. Now that we have acquired our basic studio needs, plans are underway to acquire the 2400 watts battery packs as well as a few other equipments, muslin backdrops and stands that we have been eyeing. It is our aim to be fully operational as a studio (both stationary and mobile) by 2012.

I am so grateful to have people like Julian and Kenrick by my side, who constantly believe in me. What you guys have done, and plan to do, really touch me.
You both have got my back covered. I really cannot ask for more and I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It's been a really long evening and night. Spent most of it putting away the equipment after Julian left, and then ended up doing housechores and laundry. Spoke to Ryan for a bit on Skype. He seems cheerful today andt he was adorably worn out when he hopped into bed and we talked. Probably gonna call it a night after this and hit the sack. There was this whole drama about the collection of Fotocology's marketing collateral, which I am just too peeved to blog about. The printer company is totally unprofessional, irresponsible and totally lacks workmanship. But its over, and I am gonna let it slide. Focus on the big picture.

Good night! Gonna off those studio lights!
