This made my day =)


Few days ago I was googling myself (I know you guys do it too =P). I wasn't only searching "eyePhotograph", but also my previous studio name "Chocolatino Photography".

There was one youtube result that draw my attention, because my nickname was there although I'm not a youtube member to upload anything there, so I was like... there must be someone else!.

Then OMG! =D there was someone who used my photos to create one nice video with a nice background song too, I downloaded the song and have been listening to it ever since haha, and oh the description! just made my day. (^-^)

I know it's a small simple work, but GOD! it made me happy for DAYS!. hehehe

Thank you
ngan1312 for liking my photography, making such a nice video, and for crediting me too =).

Here's the LINK

Thank you... Stranger




I have always complained about not having people who would model for me except for my nephews and nieces ofcourse. Alot of people told me to ask family or friends to help me with that so I did. However, most of them didn't appreciate being photographed or if they agreed they wouldn't allow me to post up the photos.

So, one day I was in one of the malls in Dubai. There were hats displayed and sold on a rotunda for the next day's horse racing event. As I was there taking pictures, I saw a lady in a little black dress trying a hat on, so I assumed that she is one of the retail ladies as most of them dressed the same and by wearing one of the hats she is marketing her merchandise.

Crossed fingered, I walked towards her intending to ask her to pose for the amateur me, expecting rejection.

"Ofcourse!" she said, with a big wide smile too! =D

I couldn't believe it at first and was feeling nervous as thrill prevented me from concentrating! haha. but that truly made my day. =)

Then asked me if the hat looks good on her in which I answered it is.

"Then, I think I will buy it" she said, and I was like =O! haha

She turned out to be a customer. She went to buy it and disappeared while I was taking some more photos. I didn't even get to know her name, my first real model's name, but I know what to call her... beautiful stranger. =)

Here my nephew who was following me around got to try one of the hats on. He liked it at first and was happy being photographed with it. then he took the hat off saying that it's for girls and he is a boy! haha... too late Zayed =P
