HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I have just returned with my family from Puerto Galera in the
Philippines where we spend a few days over the Xmas holidays.

Two good friends of mine which I had not seen for 5 years stayed
at the same resort, this was a real coincident and a very happy
reunion.
Mark came up to me one day and ask me if I knew anything about
Aperture, well I just started to grin and ask him why?

Mark is from Australia and just bought a Mac Book Pro, (15 inch)
some 3 weeks ago, he is a very keen and good hobby Photographer
and had Aperture in his Mac.
So my vacation turned to some lecturing over the next few days,
which was real fun, we went through the whole Mac system and of
course Aperture.
We sat down everyday for about an hour since we did not want to
disturb his or my Family's Vacation to much.
On my last day Mark rewarded me with lots of drinks at the Bar and
we talked about the good old days until morning.

Mark and Targa own a top notch Dive Operation in Port Douglas,
Queensland, Australia and used to work in Puerto Galera many
years ago as Diving Instructors.

The weather was not that great but at least I made my friends very
happy during the rain showers and I had some real fun too.

The images have been taken after the Apple - Aperture Conference in Siam Reap Cambodia, Nov. 2006.
Of-course there are many more new images, this is only a portion of it and taken during a four day stay in Siam Reap.
It was great to meet all the other Aperture photographers during this short but very interesting Conference,
I made new friends and had a great time, thanks to Apple and Aperture.
Enjoy the images.
