Thoughts and Photographs

triciawillgoplaces:

One of my resolutions this year is to plan local trips and to try to share the beauty of the Philippines to the world. I mean, I’ve so many travel entries on different countries… so don’t you think it’s a little odd that I don’t have any ones that promote the Philippines? My own country?

I…

I just realized that I’ve been doing a lot of landscapes lately, more specifically contre-jour (against the light) or silhouette landscapes.

Funny thing is, I hated landscape photography before, I thought of it as boring and flat. Now isn’t that something. A change of perspective, perhaps?

Anyway, new is always better.

I took this one after hiking up Cruz Dako in Loboc for the first time yesterday. Have a blessed Holy Week. :)

“I was taking pictures of Alcatraz at the time, and while I was taking the pictures, I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a girl walking by. She climbed over the rail, and she did it so smoothly… It was almost like she was going, like she had her own little clubhouse… I don’t know, like she was going to sit on the ledge to eat lunch.

So, I got a couple pictures of her climbing over, and then I started taking pictures of her standing on the ledge, and I realized that this girl’s about to jump. But when I was behind the camera, it was almost like it wasn’t real, because I was looking through the lens. I guess I was waiting for her to jump, because I thought there was nothing I could do. It was too late.

I started yelling out to the girl, you know, asking her what was wrong. She seemed to be speaking in a different language, and basically, like, tuning me out. Like, really not thinking about what I was saying. So, I got up on the rail and I reached out, and I really didn’t know I was gonna be able to grab the back of her jacket… But once I grabbed it, I just lifted her over the rail and got her down on the ground. She started fighting me a little bit, so I just sat on her chest and called 911, and they were probably there within a couple minutes.”

Good.  Courageous. I love how he just pulls her up like a kitten.

she already had her foot out… O_O thank you real life superhero

The intensity of this, oh my god. He inspires me so much.

1. Have you looked through his briefs?
2. He is one hard judge.
3. Counselor, let’s do it in chambers.
4. Her attorney withdrew at the last minute.
5. Is it a penal offense?
6. Better leave the handcuffs on.
7. For $200 an hour, she better be good.
8. Can you get him to drop his suit?
9. The judge gave her the stiffest one he could.
10. Think you can get me off?

I was about 80% sure of getting the Panasonic Lumix LX-5 after having a reality check that the Fujifilm X100 was just way too expensive for my non-DSLR camera needs, then…..

BAAM!

Fuji just released the Fujifilm X10, it’s kind of like the X100’s little brother.

Same vintage look, similar features (except for some advance ones) , and half the price of the X100. (It would have been nice if they made it in silver + black for a more vintage look like the X100).

The camera gods may have heard my prayers or something regarding the X100 being too expensive. HAHA

And now I’m back to square one! This is just cruel and unusual punishment.
