I disgust even myself. Ugh. And no, I don't really look (or act) like this (as far as you know)
Maybe I should call these "Lessons in how to be unattractive"
"In my silver ship I sail
a dream that ended to soon
now I know exactly who I am,
and what I am here for
and I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be,
all the brave things I'd done
vanished like a snowflake,
with the rising of the Sun
never more to sail my ship,
where no man has gone before
and I will go sailing no more..."

Even as the storm was coming in he continued with his fishing.
I was lucky as I broke into a run after taking this shot and managed to prevent my precious camera and equipment from getting drenched. Hope he managed some shelter too.

So today there I was minding my own business shooting 45 Fremont in downtown San Francisco when all of a sudden a Shorenstein Company employee security guard decides to give me the finger in my photographs of the building. Next thing you know I get the typical hassle. Except normally when the guards come out all polite like and all this guy instead comes out middle finger a blazing and telling me that I'm not allowed to photograph the building from the public space.
He goes on to tell me how he doesn't like to have his photograph taken, etc. (hint, if you don't like your photograph taken, probably best not to come swaggering out of a public building middle finger a blazin', remember any old asshole can have a blog these days). And insists on telling me how if I want to photograph the building I'm going to need to get approval from building management. blah, blah, blah.
Well, this guy got off on the wrong foot with me in the first place so I politely inform him that despite his objections that I'm on public property and as such have every right to photograph whatever I want and if he'd like he can feel free to call the police and the three of us can have a conversation. Of course he asks me why I need to be such an asshole and I remind him that he was the one giving me the bird, etc. etc. All I am is a lowly photography hobbyist but that since he was being so nice and all that he could look forward to his photo being on the internet.
He asks me if I *really* want him to call the police. Again, I answer nicely, yes.

Sometime ago I wished that I can capture a traditional candlelight procession in an old town, viewing the ocean of illuminated faithful on top of a balcony of a century old house. The building across mine must be as old, spewing out rustic details of days of the past. The spot had be at the corner so that the candles will be a stream of curving flickring lines. Thanks to rox?, the dream became a reality last Good Friday.
Ruvee, you're the best!

Freshly caught- that was what they were. Sitangkai is in the basin of the Sulu Sea teeming with marine life. Being Muslim, the people of Tawi-Tawi rely on fish for protein. Beef is practically non-existent as the islands in Sitangkai are small. Goats and chicken are also few. But when you have a bounty of the sea right at your doorstep, you would not really miss terra firma meat.

Sometimes if you use a polarizing filter optimally it looks to me like you're poking straight through the atmosphere. Definitely best viewed large.
One joins the Sinulog for several reasons: obligation, piety, community volunteerism, remuneration. But when you already are in the thick of it all, you soon realize that you are also there to have fun. These guys are seriously enjoying themselves and I applaud them for it.

Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?

My first language is Cebuano and I thought my vocabulary of the language is adequate. Was I wrong. Recently, in the Cebu Pool, we discussed the meaning of mabulokon, as in the traditional greeting Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig for the new year. I argued that the word means meaningful. Later on, I learned mabulokon really means colorful. So to you all, Mabulokong Bag-ong Tuig! (And we have 5 hours more left here in New York- tick tock...)

Ramena beach is popular to both tourists and locals. Situated in just one of the 3 gigantic bays of Diego Suarez, the immaculate white sand coast of Ramena is among the numerous pristine beaches that enveigle the senses of sunlovers. For locals however, public buses are scarce except during Sunday when day beach trips become regular for those who want to partake of a piece of paradise. We took a taxi to this beach on a Sunday and with 20 kilometers of beach to choose, empty stretches are the rule and crowds are non-existent.
For the nearly 3 hours that we were there, I chose to skip taking a dip. I practiced with my Rebel camera as the lighting was perfect and the people could not be any more generous with their smiles- or in the case of this child leaning on her napping mother, her lazy stare.

Of the countless frolicking children competing for my attention, these two are just those whom you could not refuse. They may have little in life but are rich in energy and hope. Pure in spirit and boundless with charm, they appreciate their beach like no other.

It was Children's Day in Brazil. I went to a slum called "Morro do Macaco" ("Monkey's Mount", behind the boy on the photo), with the Hummingbirds leaders from CARF (Children at Risk Foundation), invited by Gregory (its founder).
Inside this slum there is an large orphanage, supported by its own founder, her family and some people from the community. The Hummingbird project was opening his wings there, to share love, knowledge, education, creating new possibilities for those children.

Era o Dia das crianças no Brasil. Fui à favela do Morro do Macaco (atrás do garoto nesta foto), acompanhada dos monitores do projeto Beija-Flor, da Fundação para Crianças em Risco, à convite do Gregory (seu fundador).
Dentro da favela existe um grande orfanato, mantido pela sua fundadora, família e algumas pessoas da comunidade. O Projeto Beija Flor abriu suas asas alí, unindo forças, para compartilhar amor, conhecimento, educação, criando novas possibilidades para as crianças.
Foto feita ontem (20/09) , por volta do meio-dia.
Esta coisa de poser pode ser muiiiito divertida...
NEGO DO CABELO BOM
Max de Castro
(cantando junto com a minha xará, Paula Lima, que adoro !!!)
Muita gente implica com meu pixaim
Mas o que implica é que o cabelo é bom
E quando isso me irrita vai ter briga sim
Porque não aceito discriminação
E quando vou a praia alguém sempre diz
Teu cabelo é duro, entra água não
Se é impermeável isso é problema meu
Na verdade o que é duro é o seu coração
Alisa ele não
É o que minha nega sempre diz prá mim
Alisa ele não
Você é meu nego do cabelo bom
Alisa ele não
É você quem dita a moda em Paris
Não sou vaselina
Não vacile não
Não sou vaselina
Não vacile não

"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

"Somewhere over the rainbow...way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow...skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney
tops...
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow... blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow--why then oh, why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow...
Why oh, why can't I?"
"Somewhere over the Rainbow"
Judy Garland
"And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow..."
"True colors"
Cindy Lauper
"Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
Looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror.Every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. And if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play."
"I am a mirror"
Alan Parsons Project
