Adventure in the Corporate Jungle (Photographers in Peril part 9)

(Click images to enlarge)



The modern corporate jungle is one place where survival is key.
Most of us, in our quest to get rich or dreams to be richer, trudge on this dog-eat-dog world where deceit, lies, envy, jealousy and politics are prevalent. It is success that inspires us to grasp the corporate life and it is failure that hounds us wherever we are and even in our sleep. But, whatever it takes, one wanted to be successful but this comes with a price as success usually breeds envy. The corporate jungle, like life, is one big arena where envious feelings grow because of competition. It is also a place of work politics where in nobody knows if he is just being played or not. That is, in the name of SURVIVAL.
My new photomanip image is an "apocalyptic" approach to that scenario where the corporate jungle is a just thing of the past. Let's say it's Zombie movie meets Indiana Jones meets Tarzan flick. The depiction of failure is evident and maybe too much negativity pushed the corporate world meet its oblivion: no more meetings, no paperworks, no deadlines, and ultimately no more office politics. But, who knows what lies ahead of this once glorious cash bounty. We just don't know just yet. Still, survival is the key in an adventure in the corporate jungle.

"I Gonna Save My 'Wacky' Prince!" (Mall Mario Mania Experience)

Malling is part of our everyday lives and of course we have our dreams too for our future shopping bags.
Of course, my Bahrain adventure last vacation would not be complete without a malling experience in the island in the sun. And this was taken to a higher level through great friends I met in Bahrain. (M.E.S.S. photogroup)My last day was fun as we dine, stroll and searched for fancy stuff in one of the collectible stores. And with a camera in tow, I couldn't help but shoot my new-found friends with their "dream-pose" per se..hehe. So here it is, a Super Mario dreamlike mall experience the Pixel Rocket way. It's another light and fun photomanipulation from me before my 'darker side photomanips' will arrive in due time..SOON! (^_^)

Operation: "Kodak Moment" (Photographers in Peril part 3)

War is an ugly thing. There's nothing to argue when it comes to that but besides that making it as theme for a good laugh isn't even ugly or bad right? That's why there's a term called 'spoof' or 'laugh trip'. One day I got a Facebook wall message; a photo manipulation request from a friend who is into war games. He asked for an Iraq theme (sensitive issue, eh?) So, I pondered on an idea and, of course, I wanted it to be light and wholesome and here's Operation: "Kodak Moment" for you to enjoy and share. :)

Force Field (The Jumper series) The 7-minute Photoshop Manipulation

What does it take to make one wake up very early in the morning. One answer is that the early morning sun heats up around 5:00 am in the middle east during springtime. This could hinder photography adventure especially in Saudi Arabia's Hidden Valley. Good thing it was a sandstormy plus rainy day that we were able to have a picturesque sky and clouds over a gigantic boulders of rock formation. Hidden Valley was our second stop and this is where we had our respite and the site of one of my Jumper series. With Juhn Abutal giving out energy through his jumping skills, I was able to capture dramatic motion shots with just two takes. Whew! We went home as the sun heated up and as the rain bade farewell following a blinding sandstorm. And on the computer, I challenged myself with a very short time limit... And that is, do a not-more-than 7 minutes photoshop manipulation with powerful result. Hope you like this part one of my The Jumper Series..More soon (Click the images to enlarge)
