I do what I can...

Whaaaaat? I told you I`m guinea pigs...less! So I do what I can and with...whom I can. Good thing I still have me.

I don`t know about acting (haven`t tried it for some years now...might consider a re-run for this year with the Drama society at NTU...who knows!), but trying to make an expressive face for a few seconds in front of the camera...some lights, some props, some spice added to it...I get the cinematic trance! Now, if I could only link the trance to the narrative and conceptual, and striking a balance...then I might be actually DOING something, instead of just coming up with ideas I keep postponing.

Memo to me: if you keep posting some of these images, it would be a good idea to talk more about why you keep making them...or simply mock yourself, that`s good too!
