The Queen of Shadows
How can someone let this post pass and not blog about it? I feel so honored and proud to have an exclusive date with the Queen of Shadows!! *LOL* Ok, that was a joke half meant. Well, she indeed is the Queen of Realistic Shadows and every girl in the digiscrapping community can attest to that. She remains my idol number 1 up to date! *LOL* OK, enough introduction.
It was really nice to meet up with Angie (a.k.a. the queen of crop) when she had a 3 week vacation here in Toronto. The last time I met her was Feb 2007 during the Bebots EB at Ortigas. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been over a year already. Surely time flies. We met up at CN Tower and she introduced her hubby and cousin-in-law to us briefly before we went separate ways. Just like our last EB, non-stop chika and catch-ups. And the husband clicked well with Angie too. So he’s also part of the chikadoras. haha… We talked about our recent whereabouts, life stories, digiscrap chismis, just about anything. We both brought our gears so we had the chance to shoot around and exchange some photography ideas. Had a hefty meal at one of the chinese restaurants at Chinatown and coffee at famous Tim Horton’s. Then we proceeded to our “cozy” apartment and waited for her HD to pick her up. She shared a couple of her shots from her brother-in-law’s wedding and some post processing tips. My, it works wonders! I’m using the same method now to process my photos into black and white! :) And oh, she also shared a few pictures of their newly acquired house! Yay! I’m so happy for you Angie! And I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun decorating the place. I can’t wait to see ‘em so don’t forget to post some photos. 
It was a short half day get together and it was really nice meeting an old friend again, especially considering we live miles apart (ok norway isn’t really that far from here I guess). Till the next time. The queen said she’ll be back for another family event and I can’t wait to see her again.
Angie, mag-update ka kasi palagi. Everybody misses you!
Here are a couple of shots from our date. Photos c/o of the loving husband
