Why

I started this blog today August 6,2005 after reading the August 5, 2005 NY Times Editorial " Measuring the Blogosphere" . It stated that nearly 80,000 new blogs are created everyday and there are some 14.2 million in existence today. Prior to this
though I accidentally came across PARC photoblog a filipino photo blogger sharing his photo diary in a conversational form. I was profoundly engaged.. There are different ways to share photos on the net however I find the avenue of blogging more personal and immediate.

For the meantime I will post some Photographs classified under "People" I took a while back until I get my blogging straight.
I have a very busy schedule however I will make it a point to post current photos on a daily basis.

The above photo is a portrait of my godchild Nina Zing.

Enjoy.
