PROJECT PIE

Had the chance to try Project Pie one free Thursday night after work. As their tag line says: Design. Built. Eat. the concept of this pizza parlor is to have your pizza built just as you wish.

White Pizza or Red Pizza? All meat or all cheese? Each topping is laid out behind a clear glass, be as choosy as you want if you treat pizza as the holy grail of food. But if you're like me who doesn't care that much (I just want to eat my pizza already!), then you can easily choose from the 7 pre-set pizzas in their menu. Either way, you will be greeted and helped with by their set of friendly staff :)

Pre-set Pizza No. 2 consists of their signature red sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella, Italian sausage, garlic and crumbled meatballs.

Pre-set Pizza No. 3 is a white pizza (has olive oil instead of the usual red sauce) made up of tomatoes, artichoke, red onion, pesto, feta and mozzarella.

I liked the vibe that these rows of bulb sent out. Another interesting piece of interior are the walls of scribbles.

Caught a glimpse of their new branch along Blue Wave in Macapagal, a much closer location for those coming from the South. Would be awesome to try other flavors next time :)

DWELLS WITHIN THE HEART

SUBDUED

Some shots from that friendly shoot in UP.

I admit I am not much of an adventurous when taking photos, creatively speaking. Although most of the time I gush over (and want to try for myself) creative and experimental shots (long and double exposures), I prefer to shoot subjects the way they are simply presented in front of me. Not to bring myself to self-deprecate, but there are times when I see my shots, look at them, and find them.. boring uneventful. So I sometimes go to the edge, and try one or two shots from a roll. Just like this photo below which I just realized, only when I uploaded it here, was a triple exposure. I like how film surprises me :)

Still dreaming of shooting light trails :)

CHASING LIGHT

TREES OF UP

First to time to set foot in UP (University of the Philippines) in Diliman for a friendly portrait shoot. Nothing really serious, my hands were just itching for something to take a photo of, so I asked my work friend Q if she's willing to be a subject (doesn't really have to pose). I'm a little surprised that she did, to be honest, but I'm glad someone's up for a little adventure too. I chose UP mainly because of the vast space and its huge, hundred-year old trees.

It also didn't hurt that this is Q's alma mater, so after her portrait photos were shot (which I'll post later this week) we rounded up the campus, got passed by a number of joggers, and bought buko juice on the side. It was not easy to accommodate the thought that I wish I had a chance to study here while being enveloped by this kind of surrounding, but I'd like to think it is still never too late *wink* (eek! hehe).

And before I forget, happy new year to you all! :)
