Hello LADS,

I'm so excited to announce my moved to a differrent BLOGSITE with my OWN DOMAIN NAME and of course HOSTING as well. I know that there are some of you who are my regular followers. I'm referring not only to those who actually wrote and signed up as my followers :) From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank you very much! So, inorder for me to entertain you more, I have decided to have a more appealing blogsite where you can leave your comments in each post, that anyone can easily access what you just commented :) Aside from that, you will be able to VIEW my photos in a much more colorful and bigger size which I'm excited on about! ;)

You can still access the posts I've had here at bloggers from my new blogsite coz I have transferred them actually.

Anyhow, it's been a great pleasure using BLOGSPOT! It has put my RANKING on top of any name under DON-K.. :)

But as they say, CHANGES are the only constant in this world and I'm adapting that just like anyone else ;)

From NOW on I will be posting MY BLOG at http://www.don-k-blogsite.com/and you can access it by clicking the mentioned domain name or the icon above! See you lads! ;)

Waterford SPRAOI Festival 5th of JULY

Just yesterday in Waterford, the SPRAOI FESTIVAL was celebrated by the Deise' people and those visitors too. It usually falls on the first weekend of August every year (if my memory serves me correctly) but this year, there was a twist made. They're going to celebrate it twice. Parade for this month then Fireworks display on August.

Myself and my wife happenned to capture some actions and here they are..






































































Till NEXT TIME Folks!

The BiZ!

Here's some notes or maybe an experience so to speak that I would like to share.. Getting into photography business isn't too easy because it's not just about taking photos that you have to deal with. You also have to consider other aspects (more actually), not only on the business side of it but more importantly your partner, your wife, your family.. It is true that there will be times that you'll give up some personal things or time because you have an engagement on a certain time that coincides with your personal life.. but that's the nature of being a photographer I guess? :)

Having said all of these, I'm so grateful that my wife is always there for me.. I heartfully thank her for the kind and so much understanding and the love of course!





Perhaps it's TRUE that behind the success of a man is a woman.. ;)




..and so what's not to love her anyhow? "wink"



Love you sweetie,mwah!

Runners!

Before we went up North, WE planned to really get some runners (shoes) and that we'll go running when we come back! Ah genie, until now we haven't run yet together! I know it has to be part of our lifestyle to be healthy but I've no time since yet (an excuse for being lazy,lol) :) and I know when you start running, it's addictive. Ah, sure WE will.. soon?!?


Here's our running shoes..

Coffee..

Aah.. it's been a while since I had this ah well coffee in general :) I'm off the caffeine now coz I'm like HULK, my heart beats like a drum when it's in my system,LOL! :)

I just miss the taste..





This was in BELFAST, Northern Ireland.. about last month?



with the wife.. refreshing!

Filipino Independence Day Celebration in Dublin

Last Saturday, 20th of June 2009 was a huge gathering of ALL the Filipinos in Ireland. It was held in St. Anne's Park, Dublin. It reminded me of BARRIO FIESTA in LONDON where I attended too about a couple of years ago.

I've learned and was stunned by the numbers of Filipinos living here now in Ireland. It's about 22,000 (unofficial estimate).. I supposed, the entire population of the Filipinos are about 80-90 million already?!? Which means, we're just some spills here, WHEW!

Anyhow, I took some photos and here they are...
