29

For lunch today, I decided to head to the Mall of Asia. I was terribly hungry (It was around 3:00 PM.), saw Red Ribbon and decided to treat myself with one of their combos with a slice of cake.

Some force found a way of reminding me I'll be turning a year older in a few days.



I wasn't thrilled. The cookies and cream cake didn't turn things around...

And yes, people looked at me wondering why I was taking a picture of the cake.

Happy Birthday Winter!

A year ago today, I got a point-and-shoot camera and called her Anna Winter. I've taken most of the shots in this blog with Winter. The exception is the three photos I used to introduce the blog. This little white box is named after the coldest of seasons, but ironically it has brought light to my eyes and warmth in my life.

I bring her with me everywhere and closest to my hand. And when I shoot, I raise her close to my heart. I know. Mushy. But this simple camera makes me happy. And that's a lot.

Here are some unreleased shots from the past year.

Blue Ray

A burst in the sky and the OneE-com Center at the Mall of Asia Complex. Yes, the streak of color is not photoshopped.

Through the Ruins

At Intramuros, Manila. One of my first photos with Winter.

Through a Bangle
I love shots of reflections especially on smooth black surfaces. Much like the set of photos from the Jun Escario shop.

Air and Water (Tank)

Ava Paguyo
That's her. Well, her shoe.

Surreal

From this angle it looks like a surreal landscape of clay-like desert mounds. It's actually a swirl-shaped cement sitting area by the bay.*

A little change in perspective can paint a completely different picture.

Afterthought: How I wish I had someone with me and have him hide in the middle of the swirl with an arm (or leg) popping out. :P
