Photo taken at San Felipe, Zambales I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today, which is a bit of a bad combination with my feeling of lethargy at work – despite the deadlines rearing their ugly heads over my shoulder. Anyway, I decided to pay a visit to my old blog, where I found this entry. Well, [...]
When one does landscape photography, it’s already considered lucky to have more than two or three acceptable pictures. Landscape is not an exact science – a lot depends on what nature chooses to throw your way on that given day. You naturally need skill, yes, but operating in an uncontrolled environment – at the mercy [...]

Since it’s Friday, I thought it would be appropriate to leave something gimmik-ish, so here’s a couple of shots from a press coverage of Mr. Jim Brickman’s most recent visit to the Philippines (October last year), where he performed at the Eastwood Mall in Libis, Quezon City.

It’s a new week, and probably a lot of folks are bummed out and suffering from the infamous and overused ‘Monday blues’. It’s indeed difficult to pull yourself away from the euphoria of a weekend filled with fun; even if your weekend turned out to be lackluster, it’s still better to just have to sleep [...]
