I’m just amazed at the jeepney art here in Cebu! Very contemporary, bold and whimsical. During a research shoot for an article that I submitted, I saw this jeepney parked at the north terminal near White Gold. Of all the jeepneys stationed there, this one just stands out from the rest. I was told by the driver that this is just one of four in the same color but the tiger decoration varies.

If I will finally have my own 4×5 camera, this is top priority work.

This cost of doing business calculator is very important for working professional photographers or for those aspiring to be one. Useful to have an idea how much to charge for a particular assignment considering one’s investment and photography as a source of income. No more guesswork needed.

Eisen Job Alquiza provided me the file for sharing and was initially available at binarysilver.com with 469 downloads. While the currency is in Philippine Peso, this calculator is still useful for other nationalities/countries. Just replace it with your preferred currency.

I have always liked the very interesting and inspiring talks available online at TED. I liked one in particular, Chimamanda Adichie’s The danger of a single story. When I read about an independently organized TED event (or TEDx, for short), here in Manila, I immediately signed up for an invite.

Thus, last Saturday, 5 December, I was in the audience and listened to the speakers with their inspiring stories.

I was fortunate enough to accompany Clister, a bio field researcher, during a trip/trek in the hinterlands of Cebu province, specifically Tabunan Forest near the Transcentral Highway last Monday. This was a trip that I have long wanted to do but, as I am not familiar with the area, never made it.

Clister recently graduated from the University of San Carlos as a Biology student and to his name, have discovered several new species of water bugs and tiger beetles. One of which has already been published and named Thopeutica pangantihoni CASSOLA & ZETTEL 2006 from Polillo Islands.
