Iligan 2011: Diyandi Festival Photo Contest

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

I fervently prayed to God to guide and bless me those days while I was in Iligan City for the Diyandi Festival. I am such a beloved child for He never fails to shower me with His love. Out of the 15 pictures that I submitted (5 entries for each category), 6 went in and bagged 1st, 2nd and 4 honorable mentions (consolation prizes).  I and God had this understanding and I will keep my promise to Him “_) Thank you Lord!

People have one way or another played key roles in this wonderful experience: Al Fritz Ermac (who also won 1st place out of 3 categories and some pictures of him were also given prizes)  for adopting me for several days, Engr. and Mrs. Maloy Ardieta for adopting me on the 1st day of the festival especially for the sumptuous dinner served by Dr. Jo Ann, your hospitality, kindness and friendship I will always treasure, Atty. Zed Ditucalan for giving me such a beautiful advance Christmas gift “_), and to the Judges: Bobby Timonera, Icon Chua, and Pat Noel, the President of the Iligan Bloggers Society, thank you all so much for the inspiration. And of course, to all my friends/photographers in Iligan City, thank you all so much for the well wishes and support. To God be the glory! “_)

 This is an absolutely No-Photoshop contest, not even cropping. Printed as they are, uploaded here with borders and watermark added and resized for comfortable online viewing.

Wedding and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines: MindaNOW Photo Congress 2011 – Davao City

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I almost wasn’t able to go but I sure am glad I did!

 It was my first ever WPPP (Wedding and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines) experience and no words can describe how thankful I am to be able to have the chance to witness how the masters of photography are able to share their knowledge and expertise in the different fields of photography.  My head almost cracked with information that was overflowing.

 It was the night of August 18, 2011. I travelled the long and winding road of Davao City with the “A Team”: Edwin Orbe and his sons, Jez and Karl, Engr. Maloy Ardieta, Jelo Pacaña, and Atty. Zed Ditucalan, whom we are so thankful for letting us ride in his awesome and sleep-friendly car :) He swept the road so carefully that we know God was with us, guiding and blessing our trip to and from Davao City. We encountered numerous trials that one might have almost (knock on wood) caused our lives. It was too foggy; almost zero visibility. And at a particular place, just minutes before we arrived, there was an accident that took 2 lives; one beheaded. We were so shocked that we forgot we all have cameras. We could have taken photos to document the incident. The same with the container truck incident that caused a huge traffic. Atty. Zed insisted that he can maneuver the car though only a slight mistake can tip it off the hill. We travelled early to be able to have some rest before the festival and he was insistent on keeping our time tables. We were all glad he did, for he was so skilful that we arrived just in time to have a few hours of rest before the WPPP Photo Congress began.

 And the rest is history in the making. We met a handful of masters in photography that we were all like kids in Disneyland eager to have a few shots with them. Some of these shots were taken by the A Team and some are even by photographers whom we just met and requested to take our pictures using my camera.

 When they gave their speeches and the formal workshop in different categories began, we couldn’t help but shake our heads in disbelief. All our efforts paid off. The experience was priceless.

 See you all next year!
