HK Tour: Big Buddha and Victoria Peak


Went to see HK’s Big Buddha and Victoria Peak but the most thrilling part of my day was spending the rest of the afternoon shopping around for camera gear. Went to the biggest camera shops in Mongkok and Kowloon, like a kid in a lolli shop I have tested and played with every gadget they have in stock. Luckily my wife was with me and kept on reminding me that I don’t need those stuff…otherwise I must have spent everything I have that day heheheh….but I am glad that she is with me because I really don’t need them...yet.... hehehehe…

WPPP Photo Congress 2007: Final Day


Last day of the WPPP Photo Congress 2007: First presenter for they day is Videographer Jason Magbanua, named as One of the 25 Most Influential Videographers in the World. Though I am not in the field of videography hearing Jason talk about his love about his work and his vision to be the best in his field is truly inspiring.

Later in the afternoon second presenter Lito Genilo have been awarded the WPPP Photo Congress Photographer of the Year 2007, like myself Lito started photography only few years ago but through dedication and hard work he have accomplished so much in a very short period of time.
