A Hundred Smiles
Post created on December 15, 2009 by Reesie under Friends, Photography · 30 Comments »
Do you like to have a photo of yourself taken by a pro for free? Wait no more!
Charing lang.. I sounded like I am really advertising. I am just trying to be a good friend here. Okay, here we go….
One of my beastfwendz forced me to promote his photography project in Manila this December. Yes, walang bayad ito. Hmpt!Kahit Christmas gift, wala. Grr. 
Jesslee intends to capture a hundred smiles in a day in Manila. He did it in Japan successfully together with a friend of his. The photos turned out really good. Aside from his talent, the subjects’ reactions were really natural that is why the output is amazing. I don’t want to admit to him but I am loving his photos. Hehe. They bring positivity to the world…to me. I can’t help but smile upon seeing so many smiling people.
You can check out his photos of bunch of smiling people HERE. While you are at it, you can also check his website HERE and some of his works HERE.
So if you are in Manila in December 27 and interested of getting a wonderful photo of yourself or a photo with your kids, wife, mistresses, dog, cat, horse, etc. taken like the ones below, email Jesslee at simplyjesslee[at]gmail[dot]com or you can leave a reply on this post. The only requirement is you SMILE like this 
or this 
or this 
…whatever you like.
OR if by any chance, you will see a guy in the street or in the mall shooting people who have photo frames in their hands then that’s him..that’s your chance right there! Grab his attention by giving your best wacky smile. LOL
I will update this post as soon as I get the time and the venue of this event from him or you can email him directly for details.
Oh…one more thing, you should ask for compensation from him as well… you’re sort of a model you know. You should get paid, right? LOL. (Patay ako nito)
Seriously, the compensation that you would get is a very nice photo taken by a very talented photographer. Perhaps, you can print a poster size of it afterward and hang it in your office door/wall and you’ll be the subject of envy. HiHi.
Here are some of his photos:
Wildflowers in Crested Butte

Akala niyo tapos na ako sa litanya ko sa trip ko? Di pa noh! Hahaha.
I was too late to capture the beauty of the wildflowers in Crested Butte. My main goal of the trip was to shoot these beautiful flowers and to show my JLC the beauty of Crested Butte. I should’ve gone last month to see them. Meron pa namang naiwan, pero hindi na siya madami. Hindi daw pareho noong last month na fields of wildflowers ang makikita ko. May nakita naman ako, fields of dead wildflowers nga lang.
Siya nga pala, Butte is pronounced as “Byut” not “butt as in pwet”. May iba kasi diyan na ang dumi ng pag-iisip – crested butt. Haha. Deejay? Ikaw ba yan?
Anyhoot, I was able to take photos of what was left of the wildflowers in Creste Butte. I wasn’t really satifisfied with these photos pero ayaw ko namang umuwi na luhaan. What the heck, share ko nalng sa inyo. Read more
In and Around Crested Butte

It was still raining drizzles when we woke up the first day. We assumed the dirt road is really dirty and muddy. We waited for an hour before we headed off. My JLC’s car is not a four-wheel drive. You gotta have a 4 x 4 car to survive the nasty roads to the mountains. We took risk and used his car, may insurance naman eh. Lolz
The Drive to Crested Butte

I had to work half of the day last Friday before heading to Crested Butte. I was too nice not to take the whole day off which I could’ve if I wanted to. My JLC and I left at around 1 PM. It was raining, we almost backed out but rooms had been booked, plans had been made, food had been purchased. It was too late to retreat.
We were almost at the Colorado/ New Mexico border when the rain finally stoped. Thank goodness.
The drive alone was fun. It was like a tour of a lifetime. We passed by a lot of beautiful sceneries. Good thing I was just a passenger, I was able to enjoy them all. Ninamnam ko talaga. Mountains, hills, birds, deers, cows, etc.. were a joyful sight. I really love country life. You can feel the simplicity and fulfillment.

Suddenly, I had the urge to eat banana split. I gave in to my craving. I stopped my work at went to the nearby SONIC.
At ito na siya!!!
Oh yes, I love my work when there’s nothing much to do but eat! Bwahaha! Tabi-tabi po sa mga nagugutom.
