Lest we forget …
I am going to pause for awhile … and light some candles for the victims of the Arizona massacre. Prayers and condolences to the families of the slain and the wounded in the Arizona shooting. I remember, Sarah Palin’s campaign put out this poster during the November 2010 elections – targeting incumbents with the cross [...]

I wish I know what you’re thinking … Posing for a Portrait, originally uploaded by Flipped Out. Over the years, I shut down the comment section periodically because of spam.

1 Million Blog Experiment
There’s supposed to be over 70,000,000 blogs floating around in the blogosphere. Someone had a great idea to see how long it will take to get a million of these voluntarily listed in one place. So I’m helping out. I am #2041 in the list that started in April 2008. It’s a little bit slow [...]
On These Ashes …

Chicago Photography Examiner
Woohoo! About two weeks ago, the local content director of Examiner.com’s Chicago edition stumbled upon my Chicago Expat site and invited me to be one of their examiners. According to her, “Examiner features news content, video and interactive media from AP, local media, etc. but what will set us apart are our Examiners, essentially local [...]
National Geographic’s Intelligent Travel No. 2
Got another photo featured at National Geographic’s Intelligent Travel blog, this time about the downside of great apes tourism. As usual, they saw me on flickr. Flickr is great! Now, if only I could monetize this .
Possible?
I’m trying to test a new template from pixelpost.org for Uncommon here. Any suggestions? In the comments section of the new site please, thanks.
Travelling
Travelling today. I had hoped to catch photographers at the airports (Chicago Midway, LA and Oakland, CA) but … was not able to – too scared of zealous security personnel. But here’s a shot of Chicago as soon as my plane took off for LA:
Gaper’s Block
Got included again in Gapers Block, this time though, not at Rearview but in an article about dating during summer in Chicago.
Mirror Project Moment
I have included new category called mirror project moment. I just remembered, I have contributed to the now defunct Mirror Project in the past, waaay back in the past (and actually had a few pictures featured in their front page) and had just rekindled my interest on the site because of a similar site on [...]
Hi-Speed Connection in Banaue!
I finally found a high speed connection in Banaue (of all places) while travelling around north of the Philippines. And sad to say, the cafe is located in my hotel but nobody told me about it and I only knew about it during my last night … at 7 pm, and they close at ten. [...]
