Aside from the alluring covers from Iwa Moto and Bangs Garcia, the March 2010 issue of FHM Philippines is also the 10th anniversary of the local publication. And I got a few hints that I should also check out the issue since Ironwulf.net was mentioned on this issue. I’m an easy person to please and I was amused to see the site under a page feature of “Blogs with Balls”. Thank you very much to FHM Philippines for the mention. Here’s the write up on the feature:

“It’s bad enough you have to slave away all week to go to that place your girl wants to visit. It’s worse if you see someone infect the wired world with mementos of his travels — and does it with great panache”
And if you happen to fly Philippine Airlines this month, you may got to see this month’s Last Frame photo of “Praying Monk on a High” Here’s the write up:
It was atop Emeishan, one of the four sacred mountains of China that stands 3,099 meters above sea level, that FERDZ DECENA (www.ironwulf.net) captured this shot. Using his Olympus E-500 with Zuiko 12-60mm, he was at the summit when he saw this monk praying on the “Cliff of Self-Sacrifice”. He snapped this perfect shot before the monk noticed him and moved on. His photo won First Place and Reader’s Choice Award in TNT Magazine’s Annual International Travel and Photography Awards 2008 in London.



galing ng monk shot mo.
congrats! and congrats on the FHM feature. hehe. so which feature of your blog/phot made you feel better? hahaha
Ang galing talaga ng camera mo! Those people from that award body thought that is your winning photo, also maybe because it has lots of significance, but i think there are other photos you took which are also better thant that! Remember, “it is in the eye of…”. I still love your nature shots more! Pero congratulations talaga, wala ng pigil ang fame mo!
i agree, the backdrop of the praying monk is a truly fantastic shot
