A Journey To Photography And Beyond

While pondering about my life as a photographer and as a father and a human being, a thought hit me. What if one day I pass away? What will happen to my blog posts? The photos that I posted online? I want it to really stay forever as long as there is the internet. These are just so earthly concerns but it's a legitimate concern especially for me as a photographer. My website and blog www.VanLigutom.comwww.VanLigutom.com currently is a monthly paid hosting and domain which I have been paying since 2012 if I remembered it right. If for some reason, I will no longer be able to pay or if I pass away, all my hard work in maintaining my current blog will go to waste.
Don't worry too much, you won't really need to be visiting two sites to get the updates from my blog. You can still continue to check out my main blog but just be aware that many years from now, when I am no longer in this planet, my photos will still be available here as long as the Blogger platform is still there.

Vote PGT Jeziel (One of Lazi's Music Talents)

Jeziel "Tata" Pamaong Dimagnaong has been in the music industry in the Province of Siquijor and nearby cities for quite some time. He's not that old though, just 36 years old. He has been singing most of the time and this October, he has the shot to win the most respected talent show in the Philippines and all over the world, The Pilipinas Got Talent, a franchise of Freemantle Media's Britain's Got Talent and America's Got Talent. This could be his big break to finally enter the National music industry like the previous winners.
In support for PGT Jeziel, we are launching brigades all over social media to ask for support. This October 8th - 9th, 2011 will be the night where the judges decide if Jeziel will qualify as one of the Finalists. Since audience voting is part of the judging process, we ask for your support to check the links so you can vote too on the mentioned dates. Remember voting only starts after the show.

Check these photos/videos of PGT Jeziel :

More Gigs added to Arriba Band's Schedule

Arriba Band has a new updated gig schedule (check right side bar). It only shows they are still recognized as one of the hottest Latin Bands in the country today. They are now performing at the Resorts World Manila , Edsa Shangrila Hotel and still performing at Cafe Havana in Greenbelt 3.
Their teamwork as a band and of course their individual talents are the secret ingredient they stayed in the industry as long as they want.

....and the new generation of Musicians continue to grow.

We are aware that aside from the mentioned rising musicians that are still polishing their talents, there are also those unnoticed and not exposed to the public. These are fellow Lazihanons who just love to play and learn music but have no time to share it with other people. I would advise those people though, to use the most common and most effective way of introducing yourselves and your talent to the world... Use the internet as your medium.
Long live LAZI MUSICIANS !!!!

If you are a Lazihanon who not just love music but also love to communicate to other Lazihanons around the world, join our group at facebook . Its "Lazihanons United". Just search for it and join. You are very much welcome..
