Lester V. Ledesma's photoblog. This online shoebox contains random photos, notes, whatever. I've been a professional writer-photographer for eight years now. It's a damn good excuse to carry a camera around. These days I'm either on the road or at home in Singapore doing assignments for about a dozen magazines. Nope, this isn't my online portfolio - do check out my website, www.skylightimages.info for that :)

Nikon Professional
Manong Noe of Cebu City uses a Nikon DSLR when he plies his trade as a hunter at the Basilica Minore de Santo Niño grounds:
Manong Noe is surely blessed by the Santo Niño because he has a DSLR.
I pity the others. I still find old, poor, photographers lugging antique, rusty, hand-me-down, second-hand film cameras, primarily because they cannot afford to buy new equipment. It's more lamentable when they have children to feed, and photography is their sole source of income.
I wonder if these photographers are gonna be around in the future. Almost everyone has a point-and-shoot or a cameraphone nowadays. And there are booths that prints digital pictures at a very minimal cost. The market is probably drying up for them.
