The Joys of Flying A Kite

flying a kite again recollects that same feeling when we were young. there's so much freedom, free of stress, full of bliss, of joy. and now specially, seeing my kids enjoy the same experience, i hope with so much stress around us you could give it a try...to fly a kite!

excited for the 1st time


afraid to lose (kiasu)


eagerly waiting for the right moment


you are right dad, it's so much fun flying


valentine's date


danger ahead (kids don't do this!)


all but smiles





i know these shots are point-and-shoot like (nothing creative) but i hope i could impart some inspiration (more towards photojournalism).

nice set, san kuha to tutik? laki na ng panganay mo

tks Sherwin! i was switching between a 17-35(x1.6crop)/f2.8 and 70-300(x1.6crop)/f4/VR. medyo kapos ako sa range in between (56-112mm) so it's either i'm too far or too close to the subjects.
