I'm so happy and jubilant I have a headache now. But it's a good and happy headache. =)

I went for the interview as a freelance photographer today.

The man is 58-years-old, and has taken pictures for the Straits Times (the local newspaper) for more than 30 years.

I'd brought my laptop along, and for lunch today, was busy selecting 20 pictures I took of things to place into a folder, for convenience's sake. Decided to leave my photoshopped works in its original folder and show them to him like that.

Met up with him (had to spend like...20 minutes looking for him), and when I finally found him at a food court, he was interviewing another guy.

So I bought a cup of tea, and booted up my laptop. I had already felt kinda nervous throughout the whole day, a bit tensed with the anticipation of comments on my works.

Showed him the 20 pictures I'd placed in the folders, discussed a bit about one particular picture's lighting/shutter speed/f-stop; showed him my photoshopped works. Then he requested that I show him any random folder of mine for all my other pictures.

His comment was this: "You have a good eye for composition. I think if you have a little bit of guidance, you'll be very good."

I was kinda stunned, yet very bouncy at that comment. Gonna have a trial run this Friday. =D

*boun boun boun!*

Yay! I have a professional's praise! =D
