>> event: "road trip across USA in 10 days"
>> place: route 163, monument valley, utah
here's what i got for you from my recent road trip across the country with a good friend of mine, paw. well, not exactly across the country cuz it starts in las vegas, nv and ends in new orleans, la. along the way we stopped in at least 12 points of interest, including hoover dam (nevada-arizona), grand canyon (arizona), red rock canyon - sedona (arizona), antelope canyon (arizona), monument valley (utah), arches national park (utah), rockies (colorado), valley of fires (new mexico), white sands (new mexico), el paso (texas), the alamo - san antonio (texas), houston (texas), new orleans (louisiana).
the trip was just magnificently grand. i was so in awe with the view i saw, the great creation of the higher being that makes you small. and it was definitely the most remembered trip i've ever had.. i just wish it never ends.
the above picture is taken along the route 163 in utah in view of the long road from the monument valley, as we continue our way to arches national park, driving 4 hours north from monument valley. we stopped as we saw the silhouette of the monument valley and the straight line of the route we have passed by. magnificent!

>> event: "tribute light to the twin towers"
>> place: dumbo, brooklyn
in remembering the tragedy of 9/11, new york city gave a tribute by having two blue lights up in ground zero, where the twin towers once stood. the lights were on from dusk till dawn that day, and i had a chance to take still images of the view along the manhattan skyline and next to brooklyn bridge from dumbo (down under manhattan bridge overpass), brooklyn. another spot was taken from where the lights were energized, near the parking lot in the battery park city. an amazing view alright.. i'm glad i was able to capture it this time.

God bless to all the victims of terrorism, including the recent bombing in jakarta, indonesia. may the victims rest in peace.

>> event: "reminiscing rhode island"
>> place: newport, rhode island
took a trip on a recent labor day weekend to rhode island with paw. my mission was to take as many pictures of rhode island as much as i can. too bad we could only stay for a day and most of the day pictures were taken in newport and night pictures in downtown providence. but they all came out nice. we enjoyed the view in newport that we didn't get to providence until really late and had to take the night pictures from the hill.
the picture above was the one i took when we took during one of our stops along the ocean drive. this looks like some painting but it's real, yo! i love how the clouds stay on top like that, gives a dramatic look on the entire picture. (taken by nikon d70)

>> place: wallace hall, nyc
i know i know.. i haven't updated anything on this site for.. ever!? hehe.. and i know i've been posting a lot of "gebyar" stuff. the story, the promo, and the likes. so bear with me, cuz there's one more stuff that's missing. the pictures! i have to warn you, there are tons of pictures!! so if you're not using a high-speed connection, better watch out cuz you might experience a slower time to download them. and it's not even complete yet! i'm still in the process of pick and choose some pictures from the photographers of the event.
the above picture is one of the pictures i like most. there are too many good pictures and the reason i'm putting the picture above is because i love how ethnic it looks. you'll know it right away, it's from bali! it's one of the dancers of the event who was performing "kebyar duduk" dance. the costume, the dance, and the makeup is just marvelous. and the expression adds the whole ethnicity to it too. rich in color just as rich as our culture is. very very "gebyar"!! :)
