Behind the scenes of the lakefront workshop … and then some
More photographs from the lighting/strobist workshop conducted by Flickr and Facebook buddy, Allan Delos Reyes. Learned a lot of basics (you would think I already know how to do this, but I don’t – many of the workshops I have attended on strobes and flashes just went over my head.

I loved the lighting so much that I asked my photo stroll buddy to pose for a [...]

Early today at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, probably twenty minutes after the start. This would be the 3.00 – 3.50 hr finishers. Kenya’s Evans Cheruiyot wins the marathon at 2 hr, 6 min and 25 sec while Russia’s Lidiya Grigoryeva clocked 2:27:17 to finish first among the women. The winners got $100,000.

Sino ako (Who Am I?)
Sino ako, originally uploaded by Monteakm. Monteakm is a flickr-ite and is member of Pinoy Kodakeros (Filipino photographers) based in Saudi Arabia.
