Only in the Philippines...

I know I haven't been posting much lately. It's been a busy life. :) I'm not complaining... well, ok, some part of me is. :P But it's been a fun sort of busy. I think, as a photographer, I'm getting a bit better. Though I've still got room to improve. If only there wasn't so much to do though. Anyways, Just wanted to share these two pictures of two establishments that have recently opened in our city of Meycauayan. I think these two store names are good candidates for forwarding, don't you? :) Only in the Philippines. Really. On your way home, if your SO texts "WR Na U?", you could say "D2 na me sa D2NaMe" and buy them lugaw, or... ... you could buy them ukay-ukay clothes. Imagine, being here allows you to step forward in time... It hasn't been established yet! Only time will tell if either of these establishments will make it into the history books as successful, but for the moment they'll spend some time in the limelight f...

Being Professional A Month Later...

It's been a month since my last post. Gotta say that the excitement hasn't really worn off yet. I don't know if it ever will. I wish I could post some of the pictures I've taken lately. Soon I shall. I might be able to post one quite soon as I was able to shoot a friend's baby daughter this morning. Was she ever adorable. Though, like her mom said, medyo mahal yung ngiti nya . She only smiled maybe once or twice, and she hid her face whenever she did. :) I was able to catch one though. Enhanced the shot and her mom loved it. I'll ask them if I can post it here. I'm learning new things everyday... well, ok, not everyday but I'm learning new things. And I'm having fun. While working with clients who are at first strangers to me might be daunting at times, and I think I've had my share of clients who've made me nervous, I think I've been lucky enough to be able to really establish rapport with most of them and have fun with them during their...

Photography as a Job: A TPC photographer at last!

O k, I have to apologize for several weeks, if not a month of absence. Training and working at The Picture Company hasn't always allowed me time to compose my thoughts. I haven't been able to post any photos of the day pictures either, and I apologize for that. Not that I haven't been able to take any good photos. Believe me, to my surprise and several clients' delight (relief on my part), I have. It's just that I don't think I ought to post them here without prior permission. But maybe, in the near future, I'll ask, and see if I can post some of them, at least small copies... A nyway, updates. I've passed the three week training, and have been taking more and more photos of kids, grown-ups, families as the days have progressed. Tomorrow, being a Saturday, is going to be a heavy day for The Picture Company as weekends are when most families are free to visit the store. Saturdays and Sundays usually see fully booked stores, and this weekend is no exceptio...

We've been without internet since the 24th of June, so I haven't quite been able to live up to my promises. Apparently there was some data cable theft, resulting in a loss of connection for almost a week, and then the Server couldn't give us an IP address because it forgot we existed. Now that it's back though... Photo of the day 06.24.07 Rocking Horse, The Picture Company, Podium
