SoFoBoMo Day-4:

Juise's workbench. We had a power outage [one of several that we have every day], and I had just stepped into his small «office» and setup 2 SB800s to take some photos of the workspace. It went completely dark in there when the power went out, I was able to focus on something, cant remember what, and took 4 frames in quick succession. This one was fairly in-focus.

Zeba had a bunch of students doing still-life work in the other room.... I wanted to get a portrait of Juise against one of his paper and sand sculptures which were hanging in that room. Juise could not keep a straight face and we had a lot of laughs trying to set-up the lights and get him into position. He kept looking «skyward» and joked about how artists are supposed to have a vacant far-away look in their eyes for portraits. LOL! I gave up. But am posting one, on the SoFoBoMo Log page anyway. Shall try again, on Sunday next.

The set-up portrait session for Zeba went pretty much the same way. She was very conscious of the camera and I could not distract her enough to make her relax. Juise tried, and had us in splits mostly. End of session.

So much for Day 4.

SoFoBoMo re-take day-4 will happen on SoFoBoMo Day-5 which will be Sunday 4/27/08 as it is the weekend here [Friday and Saturday]....and everyone wants a day or two off. Gives me time to consolidate the images so far taken and do the edits and drop the tentative final ones into the book format. Oh, and I have an early morning photo trip to Old Dhaka and maybe also Sonargaon Village on Saturday at 4:45 AM with a friend to try and get some images of the old buildings and «Havalis» at dawn....
