I was surprised to received a text message from Jon of Jonallier Events Planning and Management informing me that my photo entries to the 2nd Canon Kadayawan sa Dabaw Photography contest were adjudged as Finalist. The Top 20 finalists were exhibited in The Atrium, Gaisano Mall of Davao, during the 2008 Tourism Celebration of the Department of Tourism and Davao Region Tourism Council from September 16-18, 2008. They will be giving the awards and certificates that very afternoon but since Davao is 3 hours away from gensan, nyeeee...nyeeee.... better stay here and celebrate. I can't really believe it since I'm just a practicing hobbyist that still learning the basics of photography. Hmmmm... maybe there were only 20 of us who joined this contest....hahahaha lucky me!!!! The contest guidelines was so strict.... no editing, no post processing, no cropping, no everything but whewww..... luckily it made to the finals, but not lucky enough to be on the top 5 winners. But then it's an achievement for me.... akalain mo parang ka level ko na rin yung mga beteranong professional photographers. Hayyyy...better luck next time and continue learning (the basics pa rin ;-)
