after lombok and before surabaya - no rest at all for me. the articles need to be written. the photo sessions need to be done.

i usually came by for an hour or two in a photo session just to know that everything was okay -- chatting to the photographer (good relationship needs to be maintain), saying thanks to the models (you never know when you need them again for the next articles - good relationship needs to be maintain), to the make-up team, and other prop teams that we use.

thanks to the team that consists of an editor, an art director, and a fashion stylist -- the sessions always went well. so, i usually went back to the office after an hour.

but the next edition will be a different game to play. it's a story of four best friends having fun together before a d-day for one of them. in this article, the magazine will be taking the same models for several photo shots by different photographers, make-up artists and prop teams. meaning, i have to come by to every photo session which sometimes be held in locations God knows where in Jakarta depending on the themes we are writing.

well, be able to chat among the professional photographers and learn the way theytake good angles -- and-- play a joke or two with those gorgeous models -- no worries at all.
