Lino Photography

Last March 5, the awarding for the 15th Hot Air Balloon festival photo contest was held at 6750 Ayala Ave.  I didn’t know I was a finalists until Ms. Daphne of Chevron texted me last march 3 the invite for the event…

Although I didn’t land in any major prize, having three of my photos in the finalists category is a good feeling enough knowing that there were 500 entries to choose from…

Here are the three photos that were included in the finalists category…

This years theme for the contest was “bayanihan”…

Good thing I won a Caltex jacket in the raffle… woohoo. Thanks Sir Ickhoy and the rest of Chevron staff…

This website of mine was a finalist at the Philippine Blog Awards for the year 2009, which was held last October 9 at the PETA Theater.  Although I did not win, being included in the finalists was an honor already.  Here are some of the photos I took during the ceremony.
