Exotic Places

I’m going out on a limb here. I will say that all photographers like to travel and the more exotic the place the more they want to go there. But first before we go any further, let us define exotic. Webster defines it as not native, foreign, having a strange allure, not common etc. So, […]

Sagada Adventure

Whenever we go on an On-The-Spot competition (OTS), there is always that excitement, thinking and hoping that one would find a photograph worthy of being kept possibly blown up and displayed where it can be viewed and shared with others. Wishing that one would find a moment in time where a congruence of light, subject […]

April Blues

Twelve years ago this month, Emil Davocol’s winning photo was featured on the viewfinder for the theme ‘Blue’. It was shot using a Nikon F90 with a Nikkor 24-70mm lens. Kiko Balagtas, who was then the current CCP President, won the Photographer of the Month title. He also leads the Kodak Cup competition. Krista Ranillo […]

A Foreign Perspective

The Araneta/Cubao OTS was my first time to visit that part of Metro Manila. I had, of course, heard of the Araneta Coliseum because of the 1975 Ali-Frazier “Thrilla in Manila,” but I did not know anything else about the area. As a foreigner, the OTS is the hardest competition for me, because an OTS […]

Assunta, Danita and Bubbles

Raul Montifar was leading the Kodak Cup (which he eventually won that year of 1997) Viewfinder was only a one page publication.

Beautiful Biel

No less than Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011 Miss Photogenic winner Bernadette Lou Aguilera Faundo graced the club last February meeting. Biel as what she is fondly called, is not only beauty but brains as well. Besides being a beauty title holder, Biel is also a registered nurse, a former researcher, an events host for the […]

The Amazing Hike

Each time I go to my cardiologist for my regular visit, no fail would he ask me about my exercises. On occasions, I told him that I have been negligent, he would show his disappointment. My last visit was different, however. I was so eager, and I did tell him about the more than four […]

Grupo Who?

Last February 2012 meeting, the club had a very special guest in the person of Emil Davocol. Yup, ‘Davoks’ as he is more popularly known, was present. After suffering a stroke some years back, Emil has rarely attended the monthly meets and for the members, it is really a joy to see him. So surprising […]
