Camera Club of the Philippines

I was killing time at Waltermart that Monday, waiting for a friend before dinner, when I chanced upon a poster on a Travel Photography class sponsored by the Camera Club of the Philippines. That poster led me to the CCP Center, at the 5th floor.

Founded in 1928, the Camera Club of the Philippines is one of the oldest photography clubs in Asia. And the fairly new Center, serves as their showcase gallery, seminar venue, and studio-for-rent.

At the time of my visit, Emil Davocol and Rudy de Leon's Black and White Rainbows exhibit was being featured. (I still haven't found the best words to blog about the exhibit itself. All I remember was how much I stared in awe and smiled while I walked around. I would love to take pictures like that - photographs which in themselves say much.)

I didn't get around to inquiring about the membership, but I did ask about the classes. The seminars are pretty affordable, starting at around 1,000 - 1,500 for the basic sessions, running for about 3 or 4 hours. [ I'm actually eyeing one of the Composition classes. :) ] There's about 1 class at least running each week.

Laughter's just too good not to share. :)

I think we'd all be very lucky to have friends like that. Guys who just have our backs covered, anytime.

Drive on..

a reflection i had made a couple of months back.. i just kept on forgetting to post..

some random musings i had while driving earlier...

have you ever found yourself driving in the rain and a few minutes later reaching a completely dry area, where it wasn't raining? this happened to me again this morning. the feeling you get is something like crossing a border, or reaching an invisible finish line of sorts.

i figured, it's probably a lot like how life is. you get into a rough patch, and you may not know when it's going to end. but if you just keep going, if you just drive on, before you know it, things ease up. you've finally reached the sunny side. :)

was just thinking...
