The Indios Experience

On December 15-19, the Flickr group Flickristasindios will have their first-ever photo exhibit called "The Indios Experience".

The Flickristasindios will showcase their best photos through different genres and subjects which shows the passion that binds them together.
They will display selected 80 photos of 80 members, photos of their weekly HMT (Happy Mamam Thursday), outreach programs, photoshoots, etc.
I'm proud being my photo "Boatman" included in the photo exhibit.

I was strolling in my place, (Samchuk, Suphanburi, Thailand) then we decided to visit Wat Samchuk. We (with my colleague) were crossing the bridge to to the temple, when we saw a man on a boat, going to our direction, on the river under us. I took the opportunity to capture this moment.
I remember a friend of mine told me that sometimes, you need a right moment to capture a good shot. No matter what kind of camera you are using.
I started taking pictures using my cameraphone. A Nokia 6600. My friends called me crazy when there were time we were just walking then I'll asked them to stop for a moment, took out my phone and started taking pictures. I captured different subjects like macro shots of flowers, of bowling balls, little children sleeping.
Frustrations are now turning to achievements as my photos are appreciated by other people, most importantly, by the photography community.
I just wish I am in the Philippines to see my photo in the exhibit. My photo with other photos of the Flickristasindios. My photo being appreciated by other people.
