Invitation to my world!

Hi, everyone. My name is Ara. I’m living in New York City, studying Fashion Merchandising Management. I’ll go by MINY, which is an acronym of my brand name, May in New York. Samsungimaging sponsors my camera ST500(TL220) so that I can experiment new features such as dual screen, beauty shot, and things like that. Now I would love to invite my readers to my life! :))

I had several ideas for the very first post. As you know, “first” means a lot. However, I decided not to go crazy about quality of pictures, or significant impact of the text. I’ll just share a bit of my life and my interests little by little at a time. So, I’m going to rely on my funny friends this time.

Alex, me, and Robin

I went to my friend, Robin’s house party. She invited those who attended International Fashion Merchandising Management Program in Florence, Italy. We all had a great time during last semester, taking same classes, or traveling together in Europe. It brought us to be bonded among others closely due to the fact that we spent so much time together. HaHa

I asked my friends to make funny and silly faces. And there we go!!! They are Chloe, Casey, Alex, Mya, and Abby. They are smart, talented, creative and FUNNY!!!!! They are photogenic and are willing to mess up their faces or actions for lively and exuberant shots. I love them so much.

It was my first trial to actually use the camera. I haven’t read the manual from the CD because I thought I could handle it without problems. But I should’ve done it before I showed off my fancy little baby. But I like these types of blurry shots not using flash. It gives more natural colors and coincidental moments.

I adjusted photo’s hue to cover the imperfection of the shot and to make the mood unusual.

I couldn’t stop laughing for a while after looking at these photos. It reminds me of Rolling Stones’ logo.

He is Daniel, Catherine’s boyfriend, who is a photographer. He was the only one who noticed the most important feature of the camera, Self-Portrait. You can see yourself on the front screen, while taking pictures of yourself.

So I followed him to take my self-portrait while I was eating Entenmann’s marshmallow chocolate cake.

I had so much fun at this party. Thank you to my friends who allowed me to post these pictures. I will cover the topics related to fashion, art, and cultural events in New York later on. Then, guys, see you on the next post! :)
