Weekly Photo Challenge: Winter
I’ve used this photo way too many times already but as I’ve said before, we only have two seasons in the Philippines, – rainy and summer- so this is the closest we can get to winter.

Baguio Infrared Series
I saw some awesome old photos of Baguio in Facebook and I was so amused and ecstatic I decided to keep a copy for myself by blogging about it. Y’know I’m a sucker of anything vintage/old and nice stuff.
Baguio Infrared Series is a collection of photos taken in the 1980s by photographer Wig Tysmans.

The Real Iconic
Last week, I heard the news that some organizations supporting ‘smoke-free Philippines’ are criticizing the October 2011 issue of Yes! Magazine with Nora Aunor in its cover, holding a lit cigar oh her right hand, set in black and white.
When I first saw the magazine few days back, I thought the concept was amazing. It’s iconic. I think it has the potential of being one of the most remembered photos of the superstar.
One boring afternoon while I was killing time social networking, Darla Sauler tweeted a photo of Anne Curtis for Rogue Magazine’s October 2011 issue in a very similar concept.
