If you’re looking for inspiration on what to do about your next levitation photo, you should really check out the amazing self-portraits slash levitation pictures of Natsumi Hayashi. You can do that here. Meanwhile, here’s some of my favorites, really, she’s amazing! Very fit to be jumping around Tokyo like this:

Amazing photos and great ideas! Here’s my favorite. ^^

I’m just like, how was she able to do that? :D

It’s only been fairly recently that I finally caved and got a DSLR for work purposes (as in within the last 6 years) and my Nikon FM2 was “my camera” for years. I may have lots of babies, but my Nikon is the only one for which I have many, many lenses. I used it in college, on vacation, at work, for family photos… which means I also have a large collection of street and documentary style photos that were shot with my FM2. I thought it would be nice to share a selection of my favorites:

I dunno why but there’s something about this city. Though I don’t know how to swim, I am really dreaming of riding a gondola and wandering at the streets or should I say canals of Venice.

And just like our Maskara Festival here in the Philippines, they also have their own festival which showcases luxuriant masks like those in the picture.

And there’s a story behind this festival:

“A Carnevale Ogni Scherzo Vale”. It means: anything goes at carnevale. It is rarely said aloud, for the words would be wasted, redundant. Before Lent, before Ash Wednesday, before Easter, there is Mardi Gras - and nowhere is the party more boisterous than Carnevale in Venice Italy. There are lavish parades, luxuriant masquerade balls, and spontaneous parties in the streets as the celebration lasts for almost two weeks. Costumes and masks abound, both ornate and simple. The point is not always the gaudiness of the fabric or the construction of the Carnevale masks, but the anonymity they provide the bearer with. With your mask on, you are pardoned your sins. With the mask on, anything goes.”

and here’s a set of pictures from Miguel Yatco’s blog when he visited Venice. He’s an amazing photographer. Nat Geo should hire him. ^^

buon giorno a Venezia! (Goodmorning Venice!)

I was one of them.

Aspiring photographers who ask that question to a professional photographer over here on Tumblr. So my mission today is to share to you this cool link I found that will answer that question!

happy reading…
