Photography fever
MY DAUGHTER GEM wants to hone her skills in photography and has been bugging me to buy her a DSLR. (Yes, she too, has caught the photography fever, hehe.) I told her a DSLR will have to wait because we need to give priority to other more important and urgent matters […]
Quick visit to Baguio
We were in Baguio City yesterday to attend the wedding of a friend. The wedding ceremonies were held at the Baguio Cathedral and reception followed at the Baguio Country Club.
I have been looking forward to this wedding because I haven’t been to Baguio for quite sometime. I worried at first I might not be able […]
It’s almost goodbye to summer…
Gem, Aypee and I went to visit my parents yesterday in our family home in Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan. As usual, Gem couldn’t take her eyes off my sister’s garden in which grow varieties of flowering and other ornamental plants.
Here are the shots she took using my Nokia N73 3.2megapixel phone cam. (Yes! I finally […]
On ugly photos and things she wants
While reviewing the photos she took with her phone cam, my daughter sighed deeply.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked.
“I wish I had a nice digi cam so I can take better photos,” she replied.
I did not answer. What did she expect me to say, after digging deep into my pockets the day she enrolled […]
Volkswagen fever
My son and daughter are trying to hone their skills in photography, albeit only with the use of their cellphones.
Yesterday, they joined other members of the Volkswagen Club of the Philippines (VWCP) Pangasinan chapter in a caravan which was part of the celebration of Bangus Festival in Dagupan City.As soon as they arrived home, tired […]
My ex-phone camera
I just lost my Nokia 6233 phone cam.
This is how I lost it: I promised my daughter that I would give her my 6-month old phone cam on her graduation, IF she had an award. Well, (un)fortunately, she did have an award. So a promise is a promise is a promise. I had to […]
Ilocos trip
I was in Ilocos Sur the other weekend. My high school best friend Elizabeth and I went to tour around our friend, Robby who’s been away from the country for more than 20 years now. Well, actually, he and wife Helen were here in 2000, but it was at the height of typhoon season (month […]
Life at sunset
Nevada sunset - This is my daughter’s novice attempt at photography. She snapped this photo using my brother’s digital camera (inside a moving van) while enroute to Las Vegas when she joined a study/leisure trip with 11 other Filipino high school students last May 2006. From Milpitas, California, they took the long drive to L.A. […]
After noche buena dish
“Kinilaw na bangus” prepared by my husband to “erase” the lingering taste of meat dishes in the mouth. (Photography by my son Marco, using his Canon PowershotA710 - that most talked about camera of the time.)
One thing that we always experience after Christmas day is this “glutty” feeling that makes us nauseous it makes us […]
Photography
Since we are in the media industry, a camera has always been a must have for me and my husband. And in the process of this job of capturing people and events, we got hooked to photography.
As we reared two boys and one girl, our favorite subjects naturally geared towards them. My husband tried […]
