Pau Soriano of Adamson ready to serve (Olympus E-3 DSRL, Zuiko 70-300mm f4-5.6)
My Olympus E-3 DSLR has taken the back seat for a while since I had my Olympus PEN E-PL1. I thought I bring out for some much needed exercise. For speed, I would still prefer a DSLR for its faster frame rate. I must admit, it’s nice to hold this solid camera block again even for a while.

Home Vintage Chair (Olympus PEN E-PL1, Pinhole)
Old Spanish Town is the least I could expect to see here in the south, Saranggani area. In Glan there are a few heritage houses worth visiting. We admired the designs and never thought there’s a heritage sight found here. Another pleasant surprise in the area of Saranggani.

Dusk at Gumasa (Olympus PEN E-PL1, Zuiko 9-18mm)
Backpack Photography Lake Sebu is over and I along with participants head off to Saranggani for some rest and relaxation. Gumasa beach is lovely, the sand is really powder white from where we are billeted. Not too many resorts and is still years behind development. It’s a perfect place to do nothing.

Using the Eagle Creek Twist Pack 22 as Backpack and Trolley Bag
A good reliable bag is an investment, that’s why I try not to scrimp out on the quality as I know most of my valuables would be packed inside. I don’t want my bag having torn shoulder straps from weight and tears from its sheets. On my recent travel to Palawan, I was able to try out Eagle Creeks’ Twist Pack 22 bag. It’s a very versatile travel bag with wheels.
