Reaching Middle Age

Its been 4 decades since I was born. Its been full of ups and downs mostly ups I supposed. I think its the most unfamiliar birthdays I have so far. Celebrating it on a new place alone without my friends and family beside me thanks for the advance technology at least they were in touch to send in their greetings and wishes. As they say life begins at 40 so heres to a new life and more blessings to come.

Shooting with Film

The Photo above is my Lomo LC-A and my stash of assorted Film which ironically shot using my DSLR

I've been shooting mostly with Film for the past months using my Lomo LC-A and sometimes the Lomo Fisheye. Because of their compactness which you can bring everywhere, I just slide inside my everyday bag no more heavy gears to carry.

Before leaving Dubai I purchased several rolls of assorted film so I will have a stash in case I will have a hard time purchasing film in Bahrain during my first few weeks here. So far I haven't shoot much except during my walk in the town last weekend while looking for an apartment to stay and incidentally I haven't finish one roll.

Maybe this weekend I'll go around town again to shoot. I'll post the pictures after its processed.

New Project

The photo above was shot using a Lomo LC-A loaded with Fuji Superia Film

This will the new project I'll be working on in Bahrain its a Hotel Resort and Spa located in the Southwest portion of Bahrain around 40 Km from the city its a 1 hour travel from where I live. Right its still in its structural stages this will keep me busy and in Bahrain for the next few years. As always I will keep you posted on its development every now and then.

Check on the photo below to see how far is our project site from where live.

Brand New Day

This is the view as I wake up to a Brand new day in a Brand new place going to a Brand new Work. Things are going smoothly lately hope it will continue all throughout.

Touchdown Bahrain

The photo above is the view from my Hotel Room

I arrived at Bahrain international airport around 8:30 AM local time. There was a long que at the Visa Counter so it took me over 2 hours before I was able to come from the Airport but not before passing by Duty Free to grab a couple of six pack.

Right now I’m in my hotel room writing this post thanks to the complimentary Wifi connection from the Hotel. I might snooze off for a couple of hour then run a little workout at the Gym downstairs then hacve a walk at the city later to see whats on and maybe take some shots. Will keep you posted on my adventure here.

Till then.

Leaving on a Jetplane again

On a couple of days I'll be leaving Dubai to move to Bahrain still here in the Middle East in a little laid back place. It will not be a permanent setup I will still go back to Dubai after a year or two who knows only time will tell. I will leave behind here all the good and bad experience I had in these place. Its a welcome change for me a new place to stay a new work to tackle and some new place to photograph.

I'll keep you posted on my new adventure there as I go along with my everyday life there.

All Wired up

I'll be moving to Bahrain next week so right now I'm packing my stuff which I will bring when I transfer. The stuff I'm packing will be of course my Clothes, a couple of books and magazines (the rest my books and magazine will be shipped to me from Dubai when I'm already settled in).

As I travel one of the things that will fill up spaces of my luggage will be those wires and cables as I bring along some of my electronics I have to bring along those chargers and cables in order to use these things. The Cables consist of Chargers for my Laptop,Camera,Mobile,PSP etc ,USB cables for external HDD, Synch cables for the smartphone Ipod and a lot more. I placed all of the wires and cables in a separate bag that will eat up some space.

I remember one experience at the Airport before when I run my luggage in the Xray machine the security inquire about those cables why I'm carryting lots of it I just told that those are Chargers.

Lets just hope that there will be no more questions about those Cables on the Airport.

On the way to Taiwan

The photos above was the package of the traveler before sending it to the next participant (shot using the camera on my Treo)

The traveler has left Dubai after it stayed here for almost a month. I sent it the other day to the next participant in Taiwan. I'm pretty excited on the completion of this project to see how the photos (mine included) will come out lets wait and see. I'll keep you posted on the developments.
