Countdown to Jan 21, 2007

Week 3 - Feast of Sto. Niño (Infant Jesus)

Sunday, January 20, 2008

Around the world, pinoys are celebrating the feast of Sto. Niño today (3rd Sunday of January)... now this is something distinctively Filipino. Sto. Niño is a representation of Jesus Christ as a child. The Catholic Church in the Philippines sets the Holy Child as an example of humility and as a celebration of the Incarnation. Many Catholics do not consider the Christmas Season over until the Feast of the Sto Niño. I wish I could witness the Sinulog Festival in Cebu some time in the future. It's really one of the most sought after event by photographers around the country. Well, that's a dream in the future. For now, I'm happy with the photo opps brought about by our own Sto. Niño celebration here in the parish. Trivia: the feast of Sto. Niño reminds us of another thing... our wedding anniversary! :)

Here's the updated index of Project 52. I can't wait to see them all filled up with photos. :)

The mastermind created a flickr group for this project. For those who are interested, please go to this site (http://www.flickr.com/groups/5252/pool/) and join the group. You'll need a flickr account to be able to join. It's free anyways (and I guarantee you'll be dying to get a pro account in the future hehehe). And oh, this is not an exclusive group for DSLR users. You can use point and shoot cam, cellphone cam, ... whatever. As long as it's a device that has the capability to capture images. As of writing, there are already 10 members in the group. *yey*

Project 52 - Week 2

Thursday, January 10, 2008

The early bird really catches the worm. I chanced upon this view when I woke up yesterday (January 9) at 5:30am. I'm a natural night owl, it's a rare opportunity for me to witness such great scene. I immediately grabbed my cam and snapped away. This is the view right in front of the window. See the star sparkling on top of the building? No, it's not dead pixel *LOL* While most people are head-over-heels crazy about sunset, I realize sunrise can be as beautiful. Now, I'm planning to wake up again early next time to get a few more shots. That is if I manage to drag myself out of bed. :)

Project 52

Tuesday, January 08, 2008

I've been reading a lot about project 365 all over the web including the bebots forum and a couple of blogs I frequently stalk. Really tempted to hop into the wagon but I really doubt if it's, by my means, achievable. I sort of just let the thought slip away until I saw Aries' post regarding project 52, meaning a photo a week. Hm.. that's doable I think. Aside from taking 52 photos, the java guru also added another goal which is in form of tags. Tags are categories or subjects to shoot. So by the end of the year, all tags should be covered. Interesting isn't it? I have started week 1 and here's my photo...

This is Baby Justin Dominic Simbol. The first born of proud parents Ric and Anna. I took this photo during his Christening last January 6 at Heaven and Eggs Trinoma. And hubby's the proud ninong. :)

Since I'm so tamad, I snagged the photo template from the java guru and made it my own. hahaha... For the credits, kindly refer to his post. (The background was something he grabbed from the net and forgot where he got it from. Sue him for not giving proper credits... hahaha... joke Aries! drop him a comment and he'll credit your work.)

Here's my flickr album for the project. Drop me an email if you want to join the fun. :)
