moisture (un)control(led)
A couple of problems arise when you are covering an event and it is raining, just like last Monday.
You're careful not to get your precious camera wet. A digital camera can never be exposed to wet conditions. I used a 'ziploc' bag to cover the body of my camera.
Another is moisture getting into your lens. Take note of the photo above. I just had to live with it.
A rally is prone to unpredictability. So, I was careful with my things. Another photographer was unfortunate to have lost his wallet in a scuffle.
And it all boils down to taking of your own body. You wouldn't want to get sick after getting wet. Just look at our president being rushed to the hospital this evening because of a flu.
Meanwhile, I live to shoot another day.

bay watchers
SM Mall of Asia's Bay Boulevard is the one of the attractions of the new mall. It is said to be the biggest here in the country.
A couple of unsolicited advice before going there...
Wear rubber shoes. With more than a thousand square meters to cover, your feet will be aching in two hours.
Don't make the mistake of going to the mall on a weekend, especially on Sundays, when people fill the whole complex to the brim. Try going there on a weekday.

grown-up Angelica
She's no angel no more.
No more teenybopper photos.
She's grabbing the attention of people, especially drivers.
It's a pity that Makati City did not allow the exhibition of the MAXIM billboard. It really won't cause a traffic.
Just take a look the billboard along near the Katipunan flyover (in front of Ateneo).

he's not Ryan Seacrest
He's Ryan Agoncillo.
And he will be hosting the Philippine Idol which starts telecast on July 29 on ABC 5.
holy carabao!
These carabaos are a good ride along the Marikina Riverbanks on a Saturday morning. That is if you can really find a live white carabao.
Check out the article about Marikina, and why it continues to be one the competitive cities in the country.

caught them smiling
The funny thing about looking like a foreigner - I've been asked if I was Chinese or Korean or Japanese (never a Filipino) - and lugging along a camera after a shoot is that you get great smiles from people you would not expect it from.
Take the photo above as an example.
I also had a big smile as I walked away.
