2009 is just few hours away and its better to welcome it with a recap of 2008. Not much to recap though, so I decided to showcase the 15 most popular photos of mine (from Flickr standards).
From thousands of photos I took from five countries, uploaded 500 of them on Flickr this year, and basing from comments, faves and views from other members, here are the most interesting and popular photos (all of them were taken by Nikki, my Nikon D80). Some of them are not even a personal favorite, LOL!

Every photo has a special magical quality! But after much thought, I think "Transparent" is my favourite ~ simply because it seems to melt down the fantasy, the surreal and the real into one playing field. Just beautiful! And love the accompanying cinquain!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo's! The railway track one ever reaching into the distance gives a kind of endlessness!
ReplyDeleteThe cinquain is spot on too!
@Gemma, thank you very much. I was surprised also by the interest transparent is getting. hehe
ReplyDelete@STG, thanks man! its one of my fave shots
Great cinquain and I love, love, love your photos! You have quite the eye!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! Happy New Year to you

ReplyDeleteare you from the philippines? these are very vibrant, professional level photography. stunning!
ReplyDelete@floreta, yup im from the Philippines. :-)thanks.
ReplyDeletebetter late than never..!! your photos are awesome.. thank you for posting your favs... love em all... but i am drawn to the no 7 called Omikuji.. does that mean something... mystery, love a mystery... oh, and the cinquain is a soft whisper echoing your photos...
ReplyDelete@OMB, thanks
ReplyDeleteas for your question
Omikuji are random fortunes written on strips of paper at Shinto shrines in Japan.
Literally "sacred lottery" these are usually received by pulling one out randomly from a box that one shakes, hoping for the resulting fortune to be good. The omikuji falls out of a small hole, scrolled up. (Nowadays, these are sometimes coin-slot machines.) Unrolling the piece of paper reveals the fortune written on it. Source
those indeed were awesome pics! keep on shooting, idol!
ReplyDeletewow, honored ako a. tinawag akong idol ni atty. hehe
ReplyDeleteyou are an incredible photographer. if this is not your profession, then it very well should be. you should publish a book of your best....
