Fiori



one of the, if not THE most, highlighted event on the month of May in the Philippines is the Flores de Mayo - a month-long celebration in honor of the Virgin Mary. Such an event presents itself as a great opportunity to take photographs and I was aware of it. I tried my best to document the Sagala procession that happens on the culminating day, the last Sunday of May. 







These photos were taken in Maragondon, Cavite - my hometown. It was a great run and I enjoyed taking photos. Now, I'm looking forward to doing a similar thing in other events.

Annie In Focus

Annie, my impromptu tour guide of Dubai is a friendly and very hospitable lady from Davao City, Philippines. Her slim figure and effortless projection in front of the camera makes her versatile enough to also be my model for some of the shots that came to mind during the tour. Though she may not really be a model, I believe that she is photogenic and can hold her own in front of any lens. Simplicity helps her adapt to the poses I ask her to do - and she is patient enough to cooperate the whims needed for the shots.   As a final note, I posted this a simple token of appreciation for being good company to me, and bringing me to all the sights I posted about in my Dubai entry. This is also as an addition to my growing online portfolio. Shukran Annie!

I though I had published these photos before but I found out I didn't. These were part of the first photos I took with my Nikon D3000. I've had it for a very long time now and I am very happy using it. But the recent problems I see in the LCD are suggesting that I should save up for a new one - and hopefully buy a new one soon. Anyways, here are photos of Myk and Jas. Colleagues of mine back when I was with DTI-CITEM.
