Jaqui & Maan
So Jaqui and Maan finally tied the knot.
7 years is a long time. But it also makes the event so much sweeter.
Here are a few photos:

feets
As I am already heavily invested in some Canon L lenses, I decided to make the most out of them and find a way to pair them with my Panasonic Lumix GF1.
I headed over to a local camera shop an purchased a Kiwi Fotos lens mount adapter for Canon EF lenses and went for a test flight.
Naturally, the feel of the whole set-up is kind of awkward, as the lens is much much heavier than the body. And, this being a non-native lens, the focusing has to be done manually.
It takes some getting used to, and I’ll probably be investing quite a bit of time on this. But for now, here are some sample shots.

Christmas decor at t. che’s
Meals at Tita Cheche’s are always a visual treat. Aside from the great food, the table settings are always something to look forward to.
As some members of the family left for their respective vacations, we had our Christmas dinner early this year. And here are some of the table decors.

mama’s table, encore
One month after my first experience, I came back to Mama’s Table for another treat. Being that it was my second time, chef Vicky Tinio-Clemente mad sure that there were no repeat dishes.
As usual, it was a feast of the senses… Amazed at her creativity and ingenious blend of flavors, I leave you to take a look at the photos (and descriptions) to get an idea of just what a scrumptious experience one lunch at Mama’s Table can be.

manila ocean park
As I was cleaning out my almost empty internal hard disk to free up some space, I came across a few photos that I had not yet posted. As the title suggests, they are photos from Manila Ocean Park.
So before I delete them / move them to my external hard disk, here are a few selected images from that day.

life on hold
Over the next few days (I can’t really say how long), my POTDs will be on hold, as I have sold my iPhone 3G in the hopes that Globe will finally come up with the iPhone 4 I’m supposed to get from them. Of course, they have no assured date… so til that time comes, I’ll be posting random photos from my other cameras, starting with this one:
The Bencab Museum
One destination that I have been itching to go to is the Bencab Museum. Last Saturday, I was finally able to visit the wonderful museum during my trip up to Baguio. As luck would have it, Bencab himself was there to take us through some of the corridors and halls.

I took a few snaps of the eye catching pieces…
The location of the museum and other pertinent info can be found here.
weekend diversion
This was a pretty busy weekend, but I made sure to take a few photos, while bouncing from place to place. Here are a few select photos from the past three days.

I really didn’t bring out my camera this year due to the weather. But I feel I was able to get a few gems, despite the lack of shots. Here are my faves.

photo morning with my GF1
I took advantage of the holiday this morning by grabbing my Panasonic Lumix GF1 and started shooting some random stuff around the house. I knew I had to get some work done in the afternoon, so I really only had a few minutes.
Here are my faves from the set…

allana’s family day
Yesterday was Allana’s 1st family day over at Saint Theresa’s college (STC). AS four of the kids were all ready to go explore the events of the day, I only had the babies left as my willing photography subjects (except for the first photo).

Panasonic Lumix GF1
Over the past few months (or perhaps even the past year and change), I have noticed a shift of preference for a lot of photographers — mostly enthusiasts and semi-pro shooters, myself included. Whereas a couple of years ago, my trusty, yet aging DSLR would always be by my side (or on my back along with a lot of other gear), I now find myself sporting a much smaller case… and, naturally, a much more compact piece of equipment to go with it — my Lumix LX3. Of course, with a smaller camera, there are more limitations, but I felt that it didn’t seem necessary to bring my bulky DSLR to drinking sessions or small get togethers. Besides, with the Panasonic range of compact cams, you get a piece of equipment that acts like an SLR minus a lot of the weight and size.
Of course, with this compact camera renaissance, there is bound to be a lot of tinkering and toying for improvement. And today, Panasonic announced the launching of its newest baby, the Lumix DMC-GF1.
While I haven’t gotten my hands on this little bad-boy for a test run, I’m pretty positive that it will perform just as well as the LX3, if not better. For the meantime, here are a few photos I have dug up:
