When it comes to cosplay and photography, this guy is known as the master. Jay Tablante is a…read moresuperstar in the geek world, thanks to his amazingly rendered cosplay photos, bringing to life the characters we see on comic books, literature, TV, movies, or graphic novels. And it really does help that he can get top models and celebrities to be his subjects. His works feature big names such as local actress Marian Rivera, model/artist/host Solenn Heussaff, model Jinri Park, and of course, cosplay celebrity Alodia Gosiengfiao. Yup, he's that awesome. And of course, his works have called him to overseas conventions like the mother-of-all-geek-cons, the San Diego Comic Con. He's got 2 books out featuring some of his awesome cosplay photography, Geekology 1 and 2, which are available at National Bookstore. He also gives frequent talks and workshops, so don't miss a chance to catch him in action and see why he's one of the best in the business! :)

Fujifilm is considered as one of the leading photography and imaging company in the world. Whenever…read moreI have to develop images or I need photos to be digitally reconstructed, this is the first place that I go to. Fujifilm has all types of advanced digital and photofinishing equipment to make sure that they provide the best service to their loyal customers. I don't really print photos anymore. All of my memorable photos are stored inside my laptop. I usually go to Fujifilm for digital reconstruction. I have pictures of me and my family taken when I was a still a child and unfortunately, most of them are no longer in good shape. A lot of these pictures have been torn to pieces and there's no easy way to fix it unless you're an expert in using Photoshop. Good thing Fujifilm is here to fix all of these photos. When they were finally done digitally reconstructing the images, all of the photos looked good as new. It only took them an hour to completely finish everything.

All things analog have been getting a resurrection lately. The dust is blown off old vinyl records,…read morean old record player is given new life, and even the shutter of an old analog camera goes off again. More and more of my friends have been taking their old analog cameras for a spin again. Since they know that I have penchant for film photography, inquiries regarding film-processing centers is something I've been asked repeatedly. So for you old school shutterbugs out there who want their rolls of film developed, my suggestion is to visit the Fujifilm branch located in the basement of SM Megamall A. The shop does C-41 Processing (for color negative films) but they also accept cross-processing jobs for slide films. Having a roll processed will cost you less than Php 200. I usually don't have my photos printed. Instead, I have the photos scanned and saved into a CD. I just personally prefer to have a digital record of all my photos rather than having them printed out and gathering dust in my room. The whole service takes an hour, ample time for you to check out the rest of the mall.
