Suddenly, it's not summer anymore. Husky There's A Trail http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/23/calaguas-a-pair-of-monochromes/ 7/21/08 The first time I went to Calaguas Island in Camarines Norte I told myself that I would go back. And indeed in less than 2 months, I found myself seated near the boat's bow getting splashed by the relentless waves. The sun was beaming gloriously and it promised to give ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/21/calaguas-ii/ 7/17/08 Rain is pounding on my window Like an unwanted visitor Resented, unwelcome and obtrusive But still it pounds. Hello milk tea. http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/17/goodbye-summer/ 7/9/08 A minor, but immediate errand came up one static Sunday afternoon. It was that kind of Sunday where you'd just prefer to curl up inside your room and think of nothing. Do nothing.  Interruption. So I hesitantly picked up the keys to my car, went back to my room get my ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/09/sunday-driving/ 7/4/08 This is my pinhole camera. And I made it all by myself. Well, not exactly since my girlfriend, Irene, contributed a lot in the construction process. It's a 6" x 8" x 4" box made up of illustration board I bought from National Bookstore. I chose to use to construct it ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/04/this-is-my-pinhole-camera/ 7/3/08 Today I passed by the Lomoembassy at 146B Jupiter Street, Makati City and got myself a long-awaited Holga 120 CFN. I really love the square format. I love square photographs. I think it's partly because we see rectangular photos all the time. I've been wanting to shoot 120 film for the longest ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/03/i-have-a-new-toy/ 7/1/08 Low-light shots taken with Tri-X 400. Grainy, grainy grain. Slant Nuclear Eruption http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/07/01/travelogue-coron-cloud-studies/ 6/26/08 I present to you the first batch of photographs from a personal project I have decided to start. Travel Photography conjures images of stunning vistas and postcard-worthy scenes. But that doesn't mean that the little things we often shrug upon do not tell stories. A simple tight shot of a fallen ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/06/26/travelogue-coron-palawan/ 6/24/08 After a whole day of encircling some of Coron's snorkeling sites and islands, we set camp at one of the islands about two hours away from the port. The guidebooks call it Tapachelen Island but the locals know it as Papachelen. I guess the locals are more credible. Sorry for the ... http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/06/24/sailing-into-the-light-coron-part-iii/ 6/23/08 One of the best things about traveling to Coron by ferry is that upon waking up, you are greeted by these huge, imposing limestone cliffs as is announcing that you have arrived. Crowded House Naval Blockade Cliffhangers Front Row Coron ROCKS! http://www.pinasorbust.com/2008/06/23/sailing-into-the-light-coron-part-ii/
