To celebrate My Cebu Photo Blog’s 1,000,000th site visit (hapit na! yoohoo!), I decided to collect my most favorite amateur shots. I then took them to Banana Book and had a small coffee table book made. It was kinda expensive – a small book costing almost PhP1,100. But I just thought that it was high time that I gave myself something nice and useful. Hehehe.
I know that a lot of people who are into photography are dying to have their shots published. And I know that for amateurs like myself, the odds of finding someone who would actually spend to have my photos published, would be like 1 in 80 million. Nyahahaha. So, I decided to do it for myself. Hahahaha. And here it is. I’m very happy with the final product. I now have a testament of my unforgetable adventures in Cebu which I can show to my friends who do not know about this blog.
Ladies and Gentlemen, My Cebu Photo Book! (wa na gyud koy laing nakit-an nga title. nyahahahaha)
A page showing Cebu’s beaches.
Some of the pages of the small 24-page book. 😀
The cover: My Cebu Photo Book. Hehehe.
A page showing shots from Cebu’s highlands. The other page has the night shots series. Hehehe.
The cover with macho man himself – Datu Lapulapu
Another angle.

photobook trailer pa na…nice! unsa na kaha the whole photobook, ayaw kalimti ang samboan nga shots nimo pag butang sa imo photobook..
Suggest lang ni nako….butangi description sa ubos unya upside-down lang
naa pud diay trailer ang mga books. hehehe.
unsa pasabot nimo ani joel? ‘butangi description sa ubos unya upside-down lang’
kung imo e-rotate ang book 180 degrees, mabasa na nimo ang discription sa itaas. like this “gold otohp” kung imo e rotate mahino na photo blog…. mura siya ug Time magazine photo descrition…
aw. kana diay imo pasabot. kuyawa na pud ana oi. hehehe
Yeah, I want one too! It would look great sitting on the coffee table in my sala for all to browse when they visit.
Sige. Publish it dong. I would love to walk into National Bookstore and see it. I could tell all I know about it to help promote it. You and Satch could do a book tour too! Wouldn’t that be great Never know if you don’t try. Go for it.
satchmo on a book tour. that sounds nice. hehe
