Armed with my camera wherever I go, I try to find the song, the poem, and the prayer in each captured moment. Thanks for dropping by and sharing them with me. I look forward to returning your visit. 
Welcome!
Find out what St. Pete is all about in my Everything St. Pete page.
The Adopted Native
I’m a second generation immigrant from the Philippines. I moved to St. Petersburg in 1996 and have since called it home. I confess I didn’t fall in-love with St. Pete right away. I grew up in the mountains, and St. Pete was flat and beachy—not my kind of place. In the mountains, summer was mild, and the air refreshingly cool. Here, summer was a scorcher, and the humidity was oppressive. I was miserable!
Over the years, however, and after much travel, I’ve grown to love St. Pete. Every time I’m away, I can’t wait to get back. It’s not just the weather and landscape that draws me home; St. Pete makes for a city life without the crowd and congestion. It also makes for a small town life without it feeling remote. It’s perfect.
My Photography
I am by no means a photographer, but I do love the explorer experience of discovery and the romantic experience of visual poetry that I get from taking pictures. Looking through the lens is seeing with a more perceptive set of eyes. I never leave the house without my camera.
My camera is a red Nikon S52, a pretty little point-and-shoot camera, I call "My precious"
. I can’t be bothered with the technicalities of photography (read: It addles my brain!), but I do experiment with the camera's automatic scene settings. I love the Close Up scene for macro shots. I'm also a proud owner of a Sony DSC-V3. I've had it since 2005 and traveled half the world with it. Although it doesn't take pictures as well as it used to, it does have full manual settings, which I sometimes play with to, ahem, educate myself.
Thank you for dropping by. Since you took the time to know me a bit, let me return your visit.
Make sure to leave a link to your blog before you move on.Cheers,
