It may be a bit hard to see in this pic .... but i kid you not, this bad boy home made mansion was actually built inside an billboard advertising stand (not sure if that's what you call it), I guess if companies don't rent the space then someone will make some use out of it .... somehow haha. Its cute though just like a tree house in the city I guess .... also nicely crafted near some condos to the right there .... made me LOLz each time I drove past this .... my 2nd fav photo :)

Ever since starting out with my camera one of my other favourite past times would be just to walk around, sit around and watch what is around me :) (Contrary to the typical filo observation technique of Standing around with arms crossed and staring LOLz most times this technique is followed by a -ve comment - yes you filo's out there know exactly what I'm talking about! stop shaking your head now haha)
Soft drink in glass bottles, why does it taste better? Same with Red Horse in a bottle why does it taste better ... The canned stuff smells and tastes like acetone
Believe it or not this is actually a 2 way street, even with vehicles and pedicabs parked along the side

Out of All the photos as simple as it may be, I think this one would have to be my favourite. I took this one while enjoying a ride in a Tricycle along some road somewhere in Tanay. I envy those that wake up and see this first thing in the morning .... You'll have to excuse all the electrical wires dangling on the top half of the photo, it was kinda difficult to compose the shot with them there, I guess in a way it kinda adds to the shot :)
It's amazing how crazy the roads are over in Philippines, I got the shock of my life on my first cab ride to the hotel. A bus, yes i did say a bus! stopped literally 50cm infront of the taxi i was in and to the right hand side of a taxi there was a jeepney 30cm away from me, so close that i could pretty much give the passengers in the Jeepney a High 5 LOL .... all this and no accidents, what can I say, these drivers have skills!
Check out the sign i the photo below "Slow down, Drive carefully Haneh!" .... so cute!
Streets are pretty much filled with pedicabs and side stalls which sell the essentials .... toothpaste, shampoo, detergent etc all in little sachets!! Even that's cute too!

A good friend of mine Ivz suggested we take a day trip to the Province of Rizal. Here we travelled on a very narrow road on an FX Van (Transport Service which is usually a 4WD or Van or some sort, max is 8 Passengers, its airconditioned and you have room to move - in other words much more comfortable than a jeepney or a bus). We passed through Antipolo. The scenery here was amazing, everything was green! Numerous houses were built along the mountain side, staring down at them from up high almost gave me vertigo Eeek! Acrophobia

The last time I went to Phils was when I was about 12 years old, to be honest with you it somewhat freaked me out! Why you ask? because it was a complete culture shock to me, so different to what I was used to. KFC served with rice? Rats grow as big as cats? People eat fertilized duck eggs? Do I really wanna be here? - I wanted to go home so badly!
I look back now and think about the perceptions I had about Philippines when I was child it makes me smile each time I think about it. Going over there when your a lot older is much different because this is where the appreciation, filo pride and the like kicks in (yet there are still some filo things that grr me lolz), I swear even for that short period of time I kinda felt ... ahmm ... Filo :)
The day I flew in I waited for the sun to rise and took this shot of the skyline, the sun rises really early over here in Phils. I didn't have any close family around me that day or for a few days so some good friends were left to answer my truck load of questions lolz, thanks guys for putting up with that :)
As soon as I saw that sun rise, I thought .... I kinda like it hear :) .... wonder if I can live here for a bit?
To be continued ..... wait for the post on the day trip to Antipolo and Tanay .....

I must admit being a stubborn Capricorn can be really awful. Why do we let our minds dictate us? Aargh!
I'm sorry my foolish mind, but my heart is too important, my heart is where my baby is at, and that's all that matters to me ....
I love you baby!

It took me a while to think of what to do for a self portrait, I think it was mostly because I was trying to avoid it. But I guess every camera enthusiast is bound to give in and jump on the bandwagon
Voila!....

This is my first attempt at the Strobist style.
Ingredients:
1 x Stone Chair
1 x 580 EX II
1 x Canon 400D
1 x 24-105mm f/4 L
1 x Strobe Stand
1 x Bag of afternoon sunshine
1 x Kawen!
Taken at 5:30pm in the afternoon with a combination of Speedlite and Sunlight, resulted in 2 strobalicious photos! (btw that probably isn't a word but you get what i mean hehe.)
I like things that are made out of stone, they have a certain primitive quality to them that is so fascinating, and to think that castles, temples and monuments were built with this material. Such brilliant craftsmanship don't you think!

Sah-pah-to - shoes
When I was younger and trying to absorb the Filo language a lady once told me that it was pronounced as thaa-paa-toh ... yeah right, only if you have a lisp! haha. I laugh now thinking about the possible trauma and humiliation that this would have caused me if I believed her LOL .
I used the speedlite this evening for this photo, am thinking I'll use it a bit more often otherwise it will just be a waste of $$. While I was having fun taking photos, I discovered that my tripod has started to fall apart. I guess the saying "buy cheap, buy twice" holds true.

It's amazing what you can find while sorting through junk! Rust, although degrading and damaging, can be quite an interesting texture .... don't you think?

I wonder if the Pros have notebooks to write their ideas in? I always got taught to write things down so that I wouldn't forget it. It's one of those lessons in life that help us along the way but we take for granted..... Just like a photograph words can help us capture that thought or moment so we can go back to it later....

Chinela - slippers
The most comfiest chinelas/sinelas/chinelos/thongs/flip-flops ever! Trusty Ipanemas!
I took this photo in the carport as I though the terracotta concrete would make a nice backdrop.
I think of it now and I wish i did the same shot on some sand at the beach, looks like a trip to the beach is coming up!

There are so many things around Darwin that are so epic fail! Take this tap (Double tap/ tap-tap?) for instance, gee! I don't even know what to call it haha. I came across this while on one of my afternoon walks.

I 've always wanted to take a photo of a tiger, armed with a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS i got my chance when i visited Hamamatsu Zoo in Japan back in 2008. My only regret was that i took this photo in jpeg - classic mistake of an dslr noob, but you learn from your mistakes right? The next animal i'd like to get a photo of is a baby hippopotamus omg they are so cute! I want one for a pet lolz

I received my Canon Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens this week. Finally after a year and half of drooling over this lens I can finally say it's mine! Unfortunately there are no unboxing photos, but who cares about that right? Now for the most important part of this post, the test shots!
Let's begin .... At 7am in the morning there weren't many human test subjects for portraits, so the garden buddha that guards our yard was clearly the best pick, after the test potraits i walked around the garden and found a lady bug, i have not seen one of these since i was kid!
Garden Buddha - Headshot
