👋 Oi, mga repapips, Brian Dys here! I love music, photography, and creative stuff like UX design and art. This is a place where I collect my thoughts and works. Apart all these, I’m Jaycelle’s better half and Bryce’s dad. 🥰
Sumakay ako sa taxi kaninang umaga papasok sa trabaho, medyo bata pa yung drayber; siguro mga bente-singko.
Nagsimula akong kumuha ng litrato sa kanto ng B. Serrano at 20th ave.
Bandang Medical City, tinanong niya ako kung propesyon ko daw ba ang pagkuha, sabi ko hobby lang.
Medyo edukado ang tono ng boses niya.
Sabi niya, sa pag-da-drayb niya raw, marami na siyang nakikitang magandang kuhanan.
Kagaya raw ng:
Sabi ko, sa pagda-drayb mo sigurado marami kang aksidente na nadadaanan, yun magandang kuhanan.
Sabi niya, hindi na raw siguro niya kukuhanan yun kung sakali.
Nagtanong siya kung mga magkano ang gamit kong Canon 550D, sabi ko nasa bandang kuwarenta.
Tinanong niya kung may kasama nang lente, sabi ko yung kit lens lang. Iba-iba rin ang gamit ng mga lente.
Binanggit niya na sa may UP daw, may mga estudyanteng nakadapa sa damo, kumukuha raw ng litrato ng bugs. Sabi ko macro yun.
Sabi ko, minsan maganda rin yung maliit lang na kasya sa bulsa para madaling dalhin. Kahit saan kapag may nakita kang magandang kuhanan, madaling kuhanan.
Isa pang nilarawan niya:
Sa isang larawan lang daw, maiku-kwento mo na ang isang maliit na istorya ng Pilipinas.
Tinanong ko siya kung kumukuha siya ng litrato.
Sabi niya hindi, dahil mahal ang camera.
Sabi ko, kumuha siya dahil may mga ideya siya.
Bunot ng isangdaan at limang piso, sabay baba.

I remember requesting for this book to be added to the UI library after seeing it somewhere over the internet — it being a good starting point for the broad world of typography. It’s been sitting for a while now on our desk and it’s time to flip its pages.
As user interface designers, it is important for us to equip ourselves even with a slight familiarity of typography’s history. Wikipedia briefly defines typography as, “the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs.” Maybe we won’t get into modifying type glyphs but for sure, we’ll tinker with some types in Photoshop for those mock-ups later on.
If you use this book as a guide, by all means leave the road when you wish. This is precisely the use of a road: to reach individually chosen points of departure. By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist. Source: Foreword, p. 10
Robert Bringhurst suggests no rules and restrictions in his book. “Use the book as reference and do your own thing,” he might say.
Riding the MRT is a tad too stressful already. For a change, I took the bus going home. It’s always a slow motion in these big ruckuses crawling their way past Robinson’s Galleria — a good time to steal some break in the rush.
How will you take home a bike you bought in Magallanes? Drive it.
