Jungle Trail

This is a photo I took way back last May 2007, again at the beautiful island of Palawan. We took a hike at a forest in an island before going to Sabang River. It's a little off-beat since it was at an awkward angle. I guess I was trying to make it more abstract with emphasis on the winding trail. Don't know if I accomplished it fully though, but I guess it turned out well.

Lamps in Black and White

Hanging lamps (below) in black and white. I was thinking about it and decided to post the black and white version as well. I found the shapes interesting, so I leave it up to you to decide whether the colored or the black and white photo is much better.

Lamps

Hanging lamps. The lighted lamps are only reflections as seen on the glass separating the lighted lamps from the closed, unlighted ones. I was having dinner at an all-American Restaurant (Burgoo) when I noticed this. I thought it was cool. Glad to have my camera with me at that time. I actually brought along my camera with me to look for good stills to capture and bingo! There it was and then called it a night. I also took a black and white photo of this exact scene.

Car Wheel

Took this picture at Los Banos, Laguna while waiting for my thesis partner. I was quite bored so I decided to take out my camera and took a shot. This wheel is about three years old, when finally two months ago it gave out and I had the flat tire. Turns out that there a was 5-inch nail bore into it. It was the second time I change a flat tire on my own (wow, achievement). Had to buy a new tire though. The wheel was "unsaveable".

Jar of Oil

It's been three days since my last post and it feels like ages. Anyway, this is a shot that I took I think last week at a New Orleans restaurant at the SM Mall of Asia, named Gumbo. They have good food there, pasta, pizza and lots of seafood. Ambiance was also great. This is an attempt to shoot a semi-macro photo of the jar.

Afternoon by the River

A shot I took while I was relaxing at a hut (like the one in the picture) along Balsahan River in Palawan. We were supposed to study the organisms that can be found in the river as part of our field work for my field biology subject, but I couldn't resist the urge to just stop, sit back, relax, enjoying the view and just commune with nature.
