Hey Dad have a look… this is what the iPod hard drive looks like…I turned around and had a quick look but my good old iPod was still in one piece, Mark Lee don’t scare the daylights out of me…
Since Mark –Lee started to work at the Power Mac Center in Greenbelt, Makati, he got into this habit of scaring the old man now and then. Like today when friends gave him an old iPod that was beyond repair, he took it apart and just walked up to me and said, hi Dad have a look what an iPod hard drive looks like, then he got me going I thought he had just dismantled my trusted 80 Gig iPod with my cool Blues Collection.
Inside of a 30GIG
iPOD
He wouldn’t dare or would
he? But my iPod was safe, and when I saw the small
hard drive it reminded me of an old Gramophone or
Record Player so I guess old ideas die-hard. Having a
Son who loves Mac and works at an Authorized Apple
Center can have its benefits but be ready for the odd
scare or two.

Don’t try this at Home, if
you ever have a problem with your iPod I highly
recommend to take it to the next Apple Service
Center.
Is this the smallest Nikon D2X in the world? An amazing little wonder crafted by hand… plus more Aperture 2 workshops at the planning stage at the Power Mac Center.

2 Workshop at the Power Mac
Center, Honey Machuca from THINK
BIG Events Management

with this soooooo cute
Nikon D2X Camera made by Hand just for
this occasion.
What else can I say…but thank you so much Honey, you
are very talented indeed producing such a small
Camera with all the details, even the lens has
glass…very cool and thanks again.

Remember…this
was supposed to happen last week but due to Typhoon
Fengshen (Frank) the Aperture 2
and
Photography Workshop was moved to last Sunday. We had
a record attendance and I like to thank all
participants for taken the time being with me at the
Power Mac Center for this fun event.

Besides
the Workshop a lot of other things happen at the same
time around the Power Mac
Center,
customers receiving a cool Tattoo I
LOVE
Mac, T. -shirts
and Camera Straps give away, plus participants from
the workshop received their certificate for being
part off it. To my surprise some very familiar faces
showed up during our first session, John Chua from Ad
Photo, Photographer Kevin Hamdorf who drove all the
way from Subic Bay with his Daughter and Rose his
Graphic Designer, good old Bebet Gaudinez a Lightroom
user who attended my Photo Workshop in Cambodia last
year and Vincent Leterrier who participated in one of
my earlier workshops made his presence felt with some
very cool images he shot recently.
A lot of fun
at the Power
Mac Center, Makati
Manila Philippines.
Hey.. do you like my new Tattoo
“I LOVE MAC”
All participants had to go out and
shoot a number of images which we later imported
into Aperture
2, then we did
some adjustments, cropping and changing a few into
Black & White using the Monochrome
Mixer.

but fun day. Thanks to Honey Machuca from Think Big,
of course to the Management and technical staff at
the Power Mac
Center for

made sure everything went smooth, they did a great
job. Thanks also to Mark-Lee Deichmann for some
troubleshooting and Hermes Singson for all the images

Congratulation
to Luis Martin
Harder one of my students from the
Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop last year…he really went
out his way and show cased his very first Exhibition
on the 13th of May in Manila.
Since Cambodia he has done real well, more than 30
images from Cambodia and the Philippines are on
display, very impressive work I might add and I am
very proud of him.
A good and mixed crowed attended the opening night at
the One Workshop Gallery including other familiar
faces like good old Bebet Gaudinez (I am just waiting
to see
his Exhibition) and Jasmine Manabat who also attended
my PhotoWorkshop last year,
almost like a “little reunion”.
Photographers like Wig Tysman, Tilak Hettig, George
Tapan and many other personalities including Henry
Bateman Artist/Writer showed up to give Luis the
credit he deserves, of course the host Photographer
Master printer and Artist Ross Capilli and his wife
made sure everybody had enough to drink and
eat. Thanks
Ross.
Congratulations again to Luis Harder for a great show
and super cool images…
You might remember from one of my earlier blogs…he
was the one who received the Aperture
software,
(which was
sponsored by the Power Mac Center in
Makati)
during our Cambodian GDPhotoWorkshop, see the image
below in case you have forgotten.
Thanks for inviting me
and being part of your show, keep up the good work
Luis.
