First photos of the Ring of Fire Annular Eclipse

The Ring of Fire Annular Eclipse will begin in East Asia, so a big middle finger to all you losers elsewhere in the world! Joking apart, I will not get to see a full ring of fire as the path is to the north of the Philippines. The eclipse will begin on Monday morning (May 21st) as the sun rises. The eclipse will then pass over the international date line which will allow the yanks to see the end of the...

It was the twins 6th birthday and they wanted to go to a huge kids indoor playground. I wanted to post the photos that I took of the area. It was a grim day, overcast and pollution hanging in the air. Manila Bay MOA Eye Sunset ...

Habitat for Humaity with Derek Ramsay

I first met Derek Ramsay backstage at a “Chooks to go” event in Batangas. He arrived to much fanfare and screaming fans. I was in the main office backstage working on my laptop. After everyone had badgered him for photos and autographs, he came in and sat down. I had no idea who he was, although you can not go anywhere without seeing him on a billboard. Ian introduced us and we got talking. To...

Manila Bay Cruise

We had been talking about a trip to Boracay in February for a family wedding, but were concerned how the children would react to being on a plane and boat for the first time. We decided that we should put them through a series of tests so that we can see how they are. The last thing we want is to land in Boracay only for the kids to be petrified at the thought of going on a boat. Ian booked a dinner cruise...

Low light camera tests

I recently bought a new tripod for my camera as my old one broke and I needed something with a smoother sweep for video panning. A photography magazine was included with the tripod for free. In it was a large, multi-page article about low light photography. Most of the photos were touched up and I do not like editing my photos. I consider myself to be a Gonzo Photographer. “Gonzo” is a style of...

Luxurious 6 Star Holiday

I had not had a single day off since June 2008 as I was running a business. I recently sold this business and decided to throw a lot of money at a luxurious holiday to de-stress and unwind. Also, my visa was expiring and I needed to leave the country so that when I returned, I was given a new visa. I selected the Nexus Resort and Spa in Karambunai, which is a 6 star resort and costs 15,000 php (300 British...

2 days in Boracay

We have been very lucky to be invited to Boracay for business. Usually, we are stuck in the office working on clients projects, no matter what the weather is like outside. Getting to Boracay was a little weird for me due to the transport required. Here is how it went: 1) Flight from Manila to Boracay on a turbo prop. 2) Trike from Boracay airport to the sea port. 3) Ferry from the sea port to the...
