Akira Liwanag said... hi sir. how are you? bago 'to ah.
i have just updated my blog just like you said. and i will update it more frequently now..
thanks for the tip!-
Señor Enrique said...
Good to hear that you're putting some time to update your site, Akira! It is really worth visiting regularly.
Try to send an entry or two to this photo contest. You never know ... you might just clinch another winning spot and win a fabulous vacation package for the summer :)
Incidentally, I mentioned your dad to Mr. Ed Santiago (one of the regular speakers at my current camera workshop) and he claims that your dad was once a member of his team at some newspaper. Ed has fond memories of him; foremost, he claims your dad is the most fearless photojournalist he has ever known in his entire life. I then mentioned to him that his son (you) is also a budding photojournalist. It brought a wide smile to his face.
Good luck at this photo contest!-

I was just over at your site, Lino, and I wouldn't be surprised if you already have wonderful photos taken at the flower festival as possible entries to this contest!
Sali na! At least hindi kailangan ipa-print pa; email submission lang :)

Sebastiane said...
That's the Coconut Palace!

Nice shot ... Love the skies.-
Señor Enrique said...
That night when I was reviewing the shots I took at the Coconut Palace, I was hoping that it wasn't a wedding reception but some big-time corporate affair, Eye.
You see, later that evening, Manila started to get drenched in what seemed like and endless torrentail downpour. Check out my entry on it:

Right, Kyels -- Coconut Palace! This is to remind myself that I have to return to its butterfly garden which I missed during my previous visit.

Hi Eric. Would you believe I want to try this? I'm as amateur as amateurs can be but I don't care. I just want to try (nobody will know anyway ... and they'll probably only know if I win which is a far shot). Thanks for sharing this news with us.

Señor Enrique said...
Hunch tells me, Photo Cache, that PI pics might be what they're looking for, but then again it might be anywhere this airlines has a route.
But better email them and ask just to be sure.
I sent in Manila pics :)-
Señor Enrique said...
Good for you, Francesca!
Hey, you never know, di ba? Mamaya manalo ka din, eh, di biglang bakasyon uli kayo ni Michel sa Pinas na naman!!!

Ei! Another contest there. But this one's quite genereal in theme. So good luck on your entries.
Thanks again for consistently updating us on these events-
Señor Enrique said...
Good idea, Belle. It really doesn't cost anything, especially when you only attach a file and email an entry. It's that simple. This will also force us to become even more creative with our shooting ... at baka manalo sa contest!
