I mentioned it this morning and I’m saying it again - drivebyshooter.net is going to sleep.

After today, you can find me blogging over at LightChasers Photography, my studio’s new site, and the Dark Corner, my own little escape from work.

You want to follow me? Chase light with me, sit with me in my corner, or do both.

See you on the other side.

A year ago today, drivebyshooter.net first went online - that’s 365 days, 182 posts (plus this one) and god-knows-how-many comments ago.

Today, drivebyshooter.net is going to sleep.  It’ll stay online, but I won’t be updating it anymore.

Instead, I’ll be blogging at the Dark Corner - that’ll be my personal site where I’ll write about anything I want - anything, that is, except photography.

If you want posts on photography, check out LightChasers Photography - that’s the site for my new studio.  You can find my portfolio there too.

It’s been a great year - thank you all for riding with me.  If you still want more of my images and photography tips, follow me as I chase light.  If you just want to keep track of me and what little personal information I choose to share, look for me in my dark little corner.

I had the chance to shoot at the finals of the search for Rivermaya’s next singer and I think I left with quite a few good shots. I’m not posting theme here though. Instead, I’ve posted a pair somewhere in my new portfolio over at LightChasers Photography.

Aside from that, I’m posting one of my favorite shots of the night. It’s not edited - I only resized it for the web. Yeah, there’s a distracting element, but I barely noticed it. Besides, that can be removed in Photoshop.

I didn’t take this - Bear did. I may have set up my own studio, but what does it say about me if my girlfriend gets the money shot? I’m not too sure, but I guess I’ll just have to hire her for all my shoots.

ProBlogger Birthday BashHave you heard? ProBlogger is having a birthday bash, and you’re all invited.

You know what’s even better? There are $54,000 worth of giveaways waiting for you. That’s a lot of loot courtesy of these sponsors.

One item on that long list caught my eye though - a pair of 20″ LG USB monitors. Yup, you read that right - a pair; a deuce, a couple, in other words two (that’s 2) 20″ LG USB monitors are being given away, thanks to the generous folk over at DisplayLink. I’m hoping I get them.

You can get them too - find out how at ProBlogger and cross your fingers. I know mine are - and it isn’t easy to type like this.

Stop Spamming Me!!!

Almost a month ago, I ranted about some SPAM comments. I was only mildly irritated then, but irritated enough to know that I would probably use some bad language if I wrote about it. I opted to limit my words and let Rico do the talking on the BBN.

I could have let the issue go then - after all, I didn’t expect to receive any more SPAM comments on the topic. Damn! I was wrong. Just this morning, I found another comment - no, I found the same comment in my inbox.

Yup, the commenter, a certain Pian Sarmiento, writing from the IP address 122.53.136.228, had the gall to leave a comment on my birthday post endorsing a political candidate.

Again, expletives are flying through my mind, but I’ll try to avoid them. Instead, I’m just going to pick apart your comment. [more…]

Nikki Dy-Liacco, Sana Sta. Ana, and Nina Yuson, all travel writers, were shot several times in Makati last week. The culprit, a photographer named Luis Cruz. The three travel writers, along with their books, found themselves in the sights of Cruz’s camera and ended up with more photos than they bargained for. See some of the images after the jump.

A few days ago, I received two comments on my post on the Blog @ Soul launch at Mrs. Fields. Normally, I wouldn’t mind - comments are good. Heck, comments are great.

The thing is, these so called comments had nothing to do with the post. They had no connection at all with The Blog and Soul Movement, Mrs. Fields, or even anything I’ve written about.

I shared my irritation with Rico over email, and he pretty much articulated all my thoughts on the matter over at the BBN.

I don’t think I would be as diplomatic as Rico was, so once again, I’m letting somebody else do the talking for me.
