My modest book haul #MIBF2023 My modest book haul #MIBF2023
I am not a professional photographer so I never en I am not a professional photographer so I never envisioned myself having all these camera gear, not to mention the expenses and storage it would cost me. But by fortuitous circumstances, I managed to build what I would consider a modest setup thanks largely to some good deals I encountered.

It began in June when I bought as a gift for myself an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II, FL-LM3 compact flash unit (since the camera doesn't have internal flash), M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 lens, and M.Zuiko Digital 40-150mm 4-5.6 lens at Fujiya Camera store in Tokyo. I then bought a medium sized camera bag in Lazada to store my new and growing canera gear as well as an Ulanzi UURig tripod form Shopee for my camera and phone. I also bought a Cabin Zero crossbody bag in U Elements as my default compact travel bag twhich can hold my camera gear. And recently, I bought from a seller ii n the Olympus Philippines Photographers FB group a G.Vario  7-14mm f/4blens which has become my default lens for roaming.

I suppose all that's left is a good external microphone, hehehe

    September 3, 2014

    As was talked about in this piece some time ago, the beloved Mandarin Oriental Manila will be closing down its operations this year. The hotel’s closing was being done in phases for quite some time, but on September 9, after 38 years in operation, the hotel will finally shut down its operations for good, at least in its current location.
