Blogs about: Photography

For those of us who prefer to show rather than tell, photography takes precedence over words. In a mere second, it allows us to efficiently capture our perspective on life and spread it to the masses. These days, there’s all sorts of genres, such as jaw-dropping photojournalism and portrait photography as art. Not to mention food photography that gets your stomach growling. We don’t quite understand why, but somehow, no matter how accidental, almost all photography manages to stimulate our emotions. (Cases in point: We bet you couldn’t resist browsing the Icelandic volcano photos.)

2011: My Year in Travel Photography

More from this author

Just-In-Time As Google would suggest, 2011 has been an eventful year around the globe. Looking back on all the worldwide events also made me reflect on my own life. These last 12 months have been more than fulfilling. For one, I began to embrace my new found love for travelling, which I discovered in 2010. Thus, with fond nostalgia for the past and eager excitement for the future, I bring you: 11 travel photographs of (my) 2011. 1. Athens, Greece. I travelled to the beautiful country in February and visited Athens and the greek island of Aegina. My blog entry on Athens was featured on WordPress. =) 2. London, England. I lived in southern England from January to April, during which time I spent many weekends in London. 3. Montreal, Canada. I finally got around to visiting Montreal in October of this year and feasted the entire time there. Being there also made me miss Europe and French cuisine. 4. Budapest, Hungary. I ventured on a solo journey across Hungary, Austria, and Czech Republic. Budapest

2011: 12 Lessons in 12 Months

The Squeaky Robot

I had little expectations for 2011. I always felt that some of my peers were a little too uptight with everything. Furiously scribbling down resolutions that – let’s be real – won’t get checked off the list, worried about job-hunting, boyfriend/girlfirend-catching, school-excelling, and place-going is a lot of pressure to put on oneself, especially when factors out of their control are involved. So I decided to go with it. That was my goal. To not be completely subject to the moody whims of life, but to accept them with an open mind and the thought that perhaps there is purpose behind the seemingly-random events that we like to label as ‘all of a sudden’. I feel like I did what I needed to do this year, but also a hell of a lot of what I wanted to do. Because life is too short not to do what you want. It’s also too short to just sit there and wait for things to happen to you. So the following is a short outline, a quaint marriage of what happened to me and what I made happen. That’s li

I call it "SnowClouds" Winter Water sand and stone. I call it " Rippling Gold" I have long known that water is important to me. I recently realized: Winter Water is fascinating, frozen… still, melting, rippling Spring rain is enchanting… musical Summer Water is refreshing… relaxing Fall Water is cleansing… recycling, reflecting We could rearrange the words and seasons and they may still be true… I am fascinated by the change of seasons and water and how it affects everything in my life. I depend on water. For me, Water represents flow, change, clarity, thirst-quenching…. In Winter, I am surrounded by Winter Water in the form of snow. In Spring the Winter Water melts and flows. In Summer it rains and dries up and then rains once again. Fall downpours take down the leaves fro

For the love of PHOTOGRAPHY

I’ll be leaving for Singapore in couple of days and I can’t stop myself from browsing online searching for analogue shops selling film cameras. As I browse every website that I see and convert every price to Philippine peso, the more I realize that I need to save up before my trip to buy all the things I need to. My hopes are up considering that it’ll be Chinese New Year on the 23rd and for sure there will be price reductions in a lot of stores *fingers and eyes crossed*. I’ve been eyeing one specific product which is the Polaroid 600 Box Set – Cool Cam Pink which costs S$280. The package is already complete: 1 camera + 2 packs of film = endless fun! However, I need S$280 and besides that, I need to buy a 35mm back for my Diana F+ CMYK which costs around S$85. Imagining how sweet it would be to buy those items during Chinese New Year also makes me feel so poor since I have to save up that much money before I get there. Not to mention I have to bring enough

What Is In A Name?

The Incredible Lightness of Seeing

Belleplain Recreational State Park Two large, white cedar trees frame Lake Nummy (named after a Native American chief). Funny name, huh? When we were very young, my brother, sister and I would call one another a nummy (short for numbskull/numskull) when we did something stupid or klutzy. Pretty mild compared to the name calling today!
