Lately I started to enjoy listening to Podcasts. In my iPod I actually listen more to podcast than to music I always download even the past episode of the few podcast I subscribe in iTunes which ranges from Photography podcast to some Tech news and podcast about Mac. I enjoy listening to "Mac Geek Gab" have some news, useful information and tips about Macintosh a must for a new Mac user like myself. Right now I'm catching up with my listening . What I enjoy about podcast is I have something new to listen evey week.

Its raining

For the first time in my stay in UAE it rained.So whats the big deal well its the first time for this year that I experienced rain. Its just a minor drizzle but it lasted for hours so theres mud all over the project site. Traffic was much worst. Then late in the afternoon Power went out in the office. Suddenly feel like I'm back in the Philippines.

Update of previous post (What will happen to this??)

Just attended the awarding ceremony of the nationwide photo competition without expecting anything. Just went there to see my entry being exhibit in the hall and to chat with my photographer friends. Seeing the other entry makes me think if my photo did make an impact to the guest and judges.
As the awarding goes underway all the participant were presented with a certificate well at least theres something I got. Then when they called the top 20 finalist out of 200 entries well to my surprise my entry was one of the 20 finalist whooaa didn't expect that my photo did make an impact. We'll it will always be that way. Whenever I don't expect anything when wentering a competiotion I always got away with something.
(See the photo of my entry on my previous post.)

Its been weeks since I got hold of my Camera and did some serious shoot. Its not I'm lazy maybe I'm not into the groove of shooting pictures. Every now and then I just want to post some old pictures which does not yet appeared in any my galleries/blog.
This is one of them (I think). A portrait of a Colleague. Shot mid this year supposedly for my project submission when I took up Black and White Developing and Printing.
I did not submit this picture in favor of another picture. But this one is worth posting because its one of my Favorite Black and White portrait.

What will hapen to this??

This will be my entry in a Nationwide photo competition sponsored by our Camera Club. The theme is "Green Desert" the way I interpret it it should show trees in the desert. For the duration of the competiton I didn't have time to go deep in the desert again to shoot some pictures for my entry. So the logical thing to do is to look in my stock photo library and here's what I got that that will go with the Theme at least. Judging and awarding will be less than 2 weeks from now. Not to sound pessimistic I'm not really expecting my entry to win but for the record everytime I submit an entry for a competiton that I didn't expect to win I always come away an award (one of them First Place) but if I submit an entry with confidence expecting with an award I always get empty handed. So what will happen to this entry??? We'll find out in less than 2 weeks.

A connection at last

Finally got a connection from the house only thing I have to go out of the house literally in order for me to get a decent speed. Just okay for checking some quick email and to write a quick post such as this one.
