Tea break… (but nothing broken!)

Posted in Food, Restaurant, photography by mikb on March 27, 2009

Afternoon tea may have been started by the french but the English are the one who make it popular. Most people refer afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds regal and lofty, when in all actuality, high tea, or meat tea is dinner. High tea, in Britain, tends to be on the heavier side. American hotels and tea rooms, on the other hand, continue to misunderstand and offer tidbits of fancy pastries and cakes on delicate china when they offer a high tea.

In England, the traditional time for tea was four or five o’clock and no one stayed after seven. Most tea rooms today serve tea from three to five. The menu has also changed from tea, bread, butter and cakes, to include Savories (tiny sandwiches or appetizers), Scones (served with jam or clotted cream) and Pastries (cakes, cookies, shortbread and sweets)

A great option if you do not have any model to work with. Everything is indeed beautiful if you willing to look deeper…

Comic Relieve : {Super Wugui} vs. The Baddie

Posted in design, fun, graphic by mikb on March 11, 2009

Wanted to go for a photo shoot during the long weekend but the weather wasn’t exactly outdoor friendly. Instead I stayed at home and make this in the end. Not exactly an ideal way to spend the weekend but oh-wat-the-heck!

A comic relieve feat. Amy as {Super Wugui} and me, of course, The Baddie! These were shot by Albert during the last school shoot of Chloe. Just couldn’t resist the temptation of making a part 2 from this

As usual, love to hear your 2 cents comments! Now, I am ready to go kick some $#@% butt!

Time flies when you are having fun! I can’t believe we have finally wrapped up the last school shoot of Chloe. No more… “looking forward to the weekend” from now I guess, Haha…  Anyway, here’s a little preview of the day.
