Dancing in the Rain

I took this photo of participants dancing in the rain during the Aliwan Festival in 2008. It was my first time to watch this festival and it rained heavily that afternoon.  It was also my first time to join an OTS or an "on the spot" photo contest.

Poor dancers, the rain was so hard, they had to scamper for cover. We, photographers, also looked for cover. I shared a tent with some other photographers and we were so cramped in that small space we could hardly move. The important thing was, we had to protect our cameras from the rain!

After sometime however, I guess the dancers got tired of waiting for the rain to stop, they were getting wet anyway, so they started dancing even in the rain. Since we were so cramped in our tent, I tried to look for a space where I can focus my camera to get a shot of what was happening. There was no space at all but down, between the legs of people. That's how I ended up with this shot - the legs of the dancers!

I was lucky the judges of the our photo contest appreciated how I was able to get this photo, so I got 2nd place for this!

Anyway, I think this photo and the quote from Vivian Green fit perfectly together. Don't you agree?

By the way, I have an article about the Aliwan Festival. If you are interested, here is the link.

How Do You Live?

I simply love this quote from Einstein. I sincerely believe that it is the way we look at life that makes us open to all the possibilities around us.

I coupled this quote with a photo of a leaf that I took one early morning. I just love how the early morning light enhanced the beauty of this leaf even if it is partially eaten up by some unknown entity, an insect maybe?

By the way, if you are interested in this as a card, poster or print, this is where you can get it.

great love

Sorry I have not posted the past few days. I was out of town and could not get an internet access. Anyway, I will make up for the lost days.

I just learned that the photoquote I am sharing today just had another sale over at RedBubble. Somehow, this card seems to be my most popular card as it has had the most sales. I don't really understand why, but it seems people identify with the quote as well as the simplicity of the photo.

The photo is that of weeds in our yard and I thought it fits the quote, as weeds are usually small and insignificant. However, they do have a beauty of their own. Don't you agree?

Here is the link to my RedBubble site for this card if you want to see a bigger view.

Good day

To those who think or feel that their day is not good, this quote from Cavett Robert might inspire you to reconsider. What do you think?

This is even better appreciated in bigger view. Click on  this link.

The scene is one of those serene, beautiful mornings in Boracay island, Philippines. I don't mind waking up early every day, just to get a view like this!

How Big Is Your God

If you are being buffeted by storms or even just by heavy rains in your life, then this is the perfect quote for you!

Please share with others who are also in the same situation.

I have more quotes like this in my HubPages.

The Lord is my Light

The Lord is my Light and my Salvation...from Psalm 27:1.

Rejoice in Hope

This lily bud is I think a beautiful backdrop for this beautiful verse from Romans 12:12.

It reminds me of the promise of hope of Easter.
