Bonsai

What is Bonsai? The word Bonsai is a Japanese word which literally means planted in a container. It is the art of growing trees, or woody plants shaped as trees, in containers.

Although Bonsai s a Japanese word, the lineage of bonsai derives directly from the Chinese.

Here are some photos of  Bonsai I took during the 5th Mindanao Open Bonsai Competition and Exhibit held at Event Center of SM City Davao

The show bannered its theme “Growing Peace in Mindanao, Bridging Friendship through Bonsai”, was the first indoor Mindanao Open bonsai exhibit. It was spearheaded by the Mindanao Bonsai Society (MBS) in cooperation with the Philippine Bonsai Society, Inc (PBSI) and supported by local bonsai clubs like the Davao Bonsai Society and General Santos Bonsai Society.

Do you like walking in the rain?

Do you like to walk in the rain? I love walking in the rain because, there is something in the rain that's soothing and no one knows you're crying...

I want to take photographs while walking in the rain...

love & kisses

flowers, ambitions, and quotes

I have been fascinated with PHOTOGRAPHY eversince I can remember. Everything about photography excites me. For a start , I am sharing to you my all-time favorite photography quotes and some of my works.

1. You don't take a photograph.  You ask, quietly, to borrow it. - Author Unknown

2.  It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary. - David Bailey

3. The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brooks Anderson

4. I love the medium of photography, for with its unique realism it gives me the power to go beyond conventional ways of seeing and understanding and say, "This is real, too." - Wynn Bullock 

5. In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular . . . sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice. - Ansel Adams

6. A photograph is neither taken nor seized by force. It offers itself up. It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.  - Henri Cartier-Bresson

7. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind

8. To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt quotes

I hope you get inspired with the quotes I post. =)

love & kisses...
