Some people collect porcelain cats, I collect oriental dolls.
I call this doll “Sayuri”. After the lead character in Memoirs of a Geisha. Doesn’t it look nice?
Orchids
Orchids are my favorite things to shoot. They don’t move, they’re very colorful and almost every kind of lighting works for them.
My husband gave me these on valentine’s day.
Chimes
Here’s a photo of the chimes that I hung on our main door.
I think the chimes are pretty. I like that they look so indigenous.
I know it’s not as good as magazine photos, but I don’t have any training in photography… so please bear with me ^_^
Rosary
As usual, I was pretty bored when I took this photo. Being Catholic and all, I thought it would be a good subject.
I HATE POLITICS!
Above is a photo I’ve taken during election time at Angeles City. I used my old poorman’s 1.3 Megapixel camera phone to get this photo, hence, the poor resolution.
The one being referred to as “SANTA CLAUS” is a candidate for a position in congress. He called his opponent “KUHOL” (kuhol means snail), because he thinks his opponent looks like a local pseudo celebrity we call KUHOL because his mouth resembles that of a snail’s.
I just hate politics. And here are some of the reasons why.
1. It sickens me whenever I see that children of political scum get endorsed for positions that they are not even qualified for. Why do they always get ahead? Are they really that special?
2. It sickens me whenever some person of some political power tries to use his so-called powers to influence people around him so they could bend down to his will. Case in point, Mr. *******************************************… No I won’t mention his name here. I don’t want to die any day soon.
3. It sickens me whenever I see my payslip. They subtract Php 7,200 a month from my salary as tax, but do I see where my tax money is going? No! I don’t see new infrastructure, new schools, or even new books for public schools for that matter. All I see are congressmen, mayors down to barangay captains getting greedier and greedier by the milisecond.
4. It sickens me whenever I see opposing parties try to overshadow each other. All politicians are airheads. They all want to be the best ones in everything, never wanting to see other people succeed for it might belittle them in the eyes of the public.
I hate it.
Spiderweb
This photo was taken last night too, when I was waiting for my neighbor’s fireworks display to commence. I saw the spiderweb on our gate and I just went for it. It turned out to be quite a nice black and white photo.
Happy Chinese New Year
I took these photos last night. Photos of fireworks always look nice. It’s just so frustrating whenever I become too late for a shot.
GOODNESS GRACIOUS GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!
Bogart
This is a photo of my beloved pet hamster, Bogart. I put him on the windowsill and started snapping photos. I think this is the best one. I took this photo with my Nokia N73.
Bogart has the cutest face ever, but I just thought that this photo’s very artistic.
Childless
Here’s another one of my attempts at still life photography. I took a photo of an empty kids’ chair. It symbolizes my hopes of having children soon, which, in all probability will not come true, considering all the stress I face everyday. So depressing.
A Tree
This is the tree in front of our office. I took a photo of the tree because it’s a century old tree, and that I think, makes it particularly interesting. I don’t know if the photographer (me) is any good though.
Here’s another photo of another century old tree that I took about two years ago that I turned into a black and white photo, because the sky was quite dark that day, and the photo looks better in black and white.
