restless attempts of creativity

my eyes have been failing me, i confess i skipped two days of picture-taking.
i was not about to stoop to the level of emo self-portrait.

clickaclicka the photos to enlarge!

we don't believe in child slaves. just child labor.
just kidding. he volunteers.




i'm a humanist if you didn't catch that sarcasm.

telling you, failing eyes... resorting to odd food...
green mango and bagoong (ba-goh-ONG...), the best way to have it.

may he rest in peace.




i also have splendid photos from the underoath concert, saving for a later time.

one reason i am glad to be taking biology 101 in hawai'i is because i have unique opportunities to study hawaiian biodiversity!
okay, so to the local, it's just hanauma bay, tourist magnet, but still - when in a missouri-based class can i swim with the fishes in a preservation area?

i'm somewhat ashamed of this photo only because every other tourist has the same shot. maybe that's just my pride speaking.

and yet more photos, thanks to biology 101. these are actually part of my homework assignment.
i love mindanao gum trees.

well, happy father's day, pop!




for kicks, the fam.






PAU!

my biggest material request from God is a nikon d80.
[although, i really should increase my faith boundaries and ask for a nikon d200... big sigh...]
as well as a hearty, yet simple set of nikkor lenses as i already have a quantaray 28-300mm wide-angle lens, i would really like a shorter convenient lens, say 18-55, and even a nikkor-branded telephoto lens (for auto-focus speed purposes) or even a sweet fisheye wide-angle lens. and... throw in a speedlight. and a 2-gig memory card.

the point is, i need $2000.
donations accepted.
i will photograph your kids.


i just want to capture what i see.
and... i know that doing this picture-a-day with a mere point-and-shoot is just foundational blocks, but hey, i'm just pitching out my long-term goal.
actually, this "long term" desire's been going on for years...
