Although the contingents/participants were all Bohol-based, the Sandugo Street Dancing 2007 was still a blast. Under the raging heat of the July sun, everyone lined-up and packed into the streets of downtown Tagbilaran, including us photographers who - as usual - were in our fighting forms as we trained our cameras in search for the perfect frames to capture that street dancing spirit. Whatever that means.
Here are some of the photos I shot. For more photos, please click here.
Some of the local photographers present were Lourd Pocon, Meljun Daniel, Terence Lopez, Miriam, Jean and Beatrice. I also saw George Tapan on the streets with his "bazooka" on a D200. Later that afternoon, I went with him to Abatan for a kayaking shoot.
Videographer-friends Jude Montejo, Sebastian Tufferi and Lalon(?) were also present with their videos. Mark from the Korean Broadcasting Service was also there.
I used a Nikon D80 with an 18-135 zoom lens for all the shots seen here. (Yeah, I still have to buy a 50mm1.8 and a 50-200 VR!)

Photobin: Miss Tagbilaran 2007 Swimsuit Shoot
It's been almost a couple months now since the pageant. But,I never got around posting these pics yet. Anyways,Sandugo season is coming and news is the Miss Sandugo beauty pageant won't happen this year. Mayor Lim just won't allow it, sources confirm. A lot of people have been debating over this issue for the past week. Some are furious why it's not pushing through while some are quite happy.
Featured contestants: Ladz, Cherry, Angeli and Cheezel

Loboc, Bohol, Philippines -- Alfonso "Nong Ponso" Varquez poses in front of a mural bearing an old picture of the Loboc Band he once was a member of. Up to this day he still has a great passion for music thus making him the best choice to be the curator of the music section of the Loboc Museum.
Lighting Info: One Vivitar 283 on-cam bounced to opposite wall for a greater subject to light-size ratio.

Photobin: Aris
Aris or Aristotle loves to be photographed. One day, he came by our shop and brought some pull-outs fresh from a copy of GQ. He wanted the photos to look like the ads on the magazine.
"I can't do exact copies," I said. "We can play around and see what happens though. Come back Thursday."
So, come back he did, thus, these three photos below are some of the layouts from the shoot. :)

Quick Portraits -- During a 60's party organized by a group of friends, I tried the new Nikon d40 brought by Beatrice. Always the every-ready strobist, I had brought with me my lighting kit - a Vivitar 283, light stand and umbrella - and shot quickie portraits with everyone.
