Welcome, Bobby!

Hi Bobby, welcome to the forum. I believe we had some communication a while back when your auctions first started showing up on eBay.
As one photojournalist to another, my sincerest compliments on your photography. It is a great photo essay on modern traditional craft in the Philippines. I hope you have found someone to sell it to.

Have you considered trying one of the big boys like National Geographic. I can't attest to your writing skills yet, but your photography is up to their standards.

nechesh,

i'm just a third rate writer in a third world country, as you'll soon find out in my posts. my writings appear good only in the newspapers and magazines coz i have good editors.

national geographic, wow! that's beyond my dreams. but how i wish!

yeah, we talked about 2 years ago, i guess.

Welcome Bobby T, its been a long time since we communicated so its good to find you hear. A great friend of mine is from Marawi and some day I'll make it out there again to the majestic sites, perhaps cross paths with you on the way. btw Lake Lanao is at a high elevation and enjoys a cooler climate also worth checking out the museum at MSU Mindanao State University.
