Canon Image Nation Summer ‘07 at SMIf you see this banner around, take a closer look at it. Yes, it’s a banner for the Canon Image Nation Summer ‘07 at SM, but that’s not why I’m showing you this banner. They’ve got at least five other banners for the event, but I’m only posting this one here.

Why?

One of my photos is in there.

Actually, I might have more photos in there, but I’m not really sure - I haven’t seen the banner itself.

If you’re wondering which one of the images in the whole collage or mosaic is mine, let me give you a clue - it isn’t a shot of the sun. That should rule out at least a third of the pictures there.

Here’s another clue - the image is in my gallery.

Going by more than one name is tricky - I should know. Some of you know me as Luis - that’s my real name. The thing is, most of you reading this probably know me as Elber. Don’t worry - that really is my name too. It’s my nickname, yes, but it’s still a name I go by.

Still some of you know me only by my handles: drivebyshooter, and for older followers of my blog (if there are any), driver ng bayan - so the names Luis and Elber don’t really mean anything to you. Also, handles don’t really count, right?

At this point, most of you are probably wondering what I’m trying to get at. Honestly, I’m not really sure either. So if it would please you, indulge me for a few moments.

I want to drop one of my names - at least while blogging. Why? I feel like it. As you read this, I’m sure it will be obvious which name I’m keeping.

I posted something last Thursday on an invasion of our privacy only to backtrack and remove the link. Here’s why I took the post down - and why I’m writing about it again.

I’ve taken this post down for security reasons, but this is the gist - some stupid idiots, please excuse the profanity, fucked up big time. I’ll repeat some of the stuff I said earlier, what the fuck were they thinking?!? Were they thinking at all?!? Do they even have brains?!?

I don’t really know what else to say about this.

Yes, it’s time for another edition of Link Love. If you’re wondering if there’s a method in this madness, keep wondering. When you come up with an answer, tell me. I’d like to know too. Before that though, check out these links. The theme for today, blogging.

My gallery is up and running! I can’t believe how easy it was to get it up and running - and how stupid I was not to see how. Markku pointed something out that, for some stupid reason, I never noticed. Well, now things are working just fine, and just in time too - ‘coz I’ve got pictures from Blog Parteeh ‘07.

The Steering Committee wants pictures? Well, I’ve got lots of them - 317 to be exact. Of course, not all of them are good, so I’ve trimmed them down to the best of the bunch. You want to see them? Just head over to the album on my gallery. Don’t worry - it’s not too hard to find. Right now, it’s the only album there.

Enjoy!

Leica Gun Outfit RifleFor a drive by shooter, the tools of the trade are projectile weapons and fast-moving vehicles. More often than not, these are firearms and cars.

Being a drive by shooter myself, I also use a high-speed vehicle - my car. When it comes to what I carry, however, my choice of tools differs from theirs. I use a camera instead of guns. Of course, If I had some money to burn, I could use both - and really live up to my monicker.

Christmas is just around the corner, and since I can’t think of anything else to write about, I’m posting my wish list - or at least the first installment of it. Listed below are some books I want.

Why books? The stupid reason is that I want to seem a bit more intellectual. Another reason is that I’m a geek - I love learning new stuff. You want another one? I’m sorry, but I can’t think of anything. I just know I want these books:
