on film : frozen bananas anyone?

I had to give myself kudos for applying the right DOF for this picture. Bai, Helen, and Atsi are all sharp and un-blurry. This was shot in Ayala Center Cebu while Helen and Bai were looking at how the frozen Bananas were made (I was innocently shooting at the background), Atsi was smiling like her cat-ate-the-canary grin. It was funny :)

on film : donna

No, this is not me obviously, but we have the same name. :) It made her really easy to remember me, and we became instant friends.

I asked permission to take her picture and I guess she was a bit shy about it because she got all flaky with the register. Hehe, which reminded me of my personal project which got a lot of people flustered when I was aiming and focusing with my camera (that took a really long time because of the manual focus. hihi). :)

The sun was shining brightly through the windows. Helen was just looking. 1 + 1 = 1 picture.

a personal project

when I was walking along the office halls last night, a thought struck me for a great photo project. I will not expound on the details very much until i get a preview of what it’s supposed to be, but I started on it today. this is the only hint i can give for the curious ones for now. and a list of names that I have “conquered”. :P

Because you taught me all I know

You’ve grown a year older..

wiser? maybe. :) but still more funny than ever…

I am proud to tell people that you are my teacher in this field that I love dearly. I love it so much that I have been dedicating at least a post a day for pictures and other related stuff for it.

It all started out over coffee and SPAM. Some grains and blurs and the slow synchro. Now we have advanced conversations towards DOFs Apertures, Bokeh, Film and a bit of dSLRs, SLRs and lenses.

I am (im)patiently learning, for you to be proud of your young padawan who hasn’t joined the dark side (yet).

maybe soon… d200? d80? meeh

We may have fought over crazy shit like Aperture and quitting photography, but we always patch things up in the end.

Maybe because you’re more than my mentor, you’re also the one I love most…

Happy Birthday :) To my master in Photography

Never stop giving me all the love and all the things I need to know to be better.

take flight to where earth meets the heavens.

I took a chance this morning to go sky-hunting with a close friend. I took my coffee, my cameras, and a pack of malboro lights and headed up my favorite place.

The sky was beautiful. And the floor was full of puddles waiting to be explored.

on film : Helen

This is Helen. And her post-birthday bouquet

She was my roomie for almost 3 months. We were assigned to go to Cebu on a project. Although we are in good terms, we weren’t really from the same crowd. We got to know each other better in Cebu. Due to a lot of reasons that only we could understand. The late night talks of our frustrations with regards to some common factors. Nyaha.!

Anyhows, we’re friends now and I love her. Haha. Oh gee.
