Back to Diddy Riese
HAHAHA. I think Suren is addicted to Diddy Riese cookies, especially the white chocolate one, because Suren, Kanie and I went down there again earlier tonight (more like Thursday since it’s technically Friday now). I didn’t get the ice cream sandwich this time, though. Instead I got three white chocolate chip cookies, and I only ate one because I wasn’t feeling too hungry. I gave one to Rachel as I got back to the dorms, and the last one is currently sitting in my pantry with my Vons chocolate chip cookies. And look, I actually remembered my camera battery this time!
Kanie and her shaved ice, which looks very tempting to get. Maybe I will get it next time…
Suren and his white chocolate cookie, haha.

Diddy Riese
I was talking to Suren late Saturday night, and somehow we went onto the topic of cookies, so the first thing I thought about was Diddy Riese cookies near UCLA. They have the best cookies at the best prices ever. Any 3 cookies for $1.00, and any ice cream cookie sandwich of your choice for $1.50. No tax either! It can’t get any better than that. So I was going to go with him to Diddy Riese on Sunday evening, but I ended being at the V.ENT photo shoot for the entire day. However, Suren called at around 9 p.m. yesterday asking me if I wanted to go down there. I was really surprised at first because I was just resting and ending my day, but I ended up going with him, Kanie and Khang. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the batteries for my camera, so I couldn’t get any good quality photos! I was so sad. I had to take a photo with my cell phone camera, but at least it was better than nothing, I guess…

ART455A Advertising Photography
Do any of you remember this entry where I posted a very crappy photo of my cell phone for my ART455A Advertising Photography class? (Probably not since that entry was a month ago.) Well, the photo above is my final shot that I had submitted to the professor. Compare/contast? I don’t like both of them either way. This was such a painful assignment to do, especially since we were comparing the photo we took with the actual advertised photo. I am so glad to be done with it. Haha.
The next photo assignment was to take a photo of anything on a white table top. I don’t really like how this one turned out because of the bottom part. That part turned out a little grey for some reason. I also could’ve used some other item that I really liked, but I didn’t have anything at the time other than some cookies. I had fun experimenting with basic advertising style, though.
The most recent assignment was fashion accessory with any background other than plain white, black and grey. I suppose that this one is my favorite out of everything else that I’ve taken for this class. There are a couple of things I would’ve done differently, though. I would’ve provided my own background flowers other than using Leiann’s, and I was actually thinking about going to Wal-Mart last weekend to do so, but it really slipped out of my mind. The gold fabric belongs to Professor Miller, and I just love it because it’s so pretty with the sandals. On the sandals itself, I would’ve made it at an angle to show the shoes more, but I did get a good angle out of the straps. The light could also be a little bit warmer overall.
So, this is my progress on my ART455A Advertising Photography class. I like it, and it is a very hard field to be in. I still don’t like setting up the lights and booms (light generators), mainly because they’re heavy, and I really don’t have a lot of upper body strength. Haha. I really have to push myself, though. I wouldn’t get anything done if I don’t push myself. On that note, I should also be typing out a study guide for my SOC304OL midterm that I have to take before Sunday night. *sigh* I’ve been so procrastinating and lazy at the same time lately. It’s so terrible. I really have to get studying and working, so I won’t fail!
