Steve McCurry South Southeast

Saturday, December 23, 2006

I visited my girlfriend in her shop today, the same thing that I always did every Saturday. This Saturday is more special though because she surprised me with a Christmas gift sent by a friend for the two of us. It is a hard-bound photo book, Steve McCurry South Southeast, a portfolio of the best of his photography works that features photos from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma.(Photos can also be viewed online by clicking here.

Jovy patiently waited for me to arrive this afternoon so together we could open the gift. The following photos were taken while she was opening the gift.

It was timely that Jovy was not so busy in her shop then so we could start scanning the book and see spectacular photos. Steve McCurry's photographic wonders made my girl appreciate more about photography. The way she glanced at me while the two of us were skimming the last part of the book, somehow showed me an approval to go on with my chosen hobby.

The only remarked I have heard according to her, is that the sender must have scribbled a few notes to dedicate the book to us.


I replied, "Okay lang, if you worry that we might forget who's giving this to us, I think that can never be happened. For how can we? This is the first gift that we receive as a couple."

 

All photographs were taken using Sony Ericsson K750i.

    I am interested about the book. I'll try to check that author in the web. I always buy books about photography if it's only on sale (he-he). About your friend, she's kinda cute! And charming too. (Like her smile)...

    You are lucky to get that book. Great gift. I've seen his work featured on TV...even the time they searched for the grown up girl with the green eyes.

    Merry Christmas to you and your fiance.

    It's a very nice gift and you are both lucky...in the future when the author visits Pinas, then let him sign the book.
    Happy New Year and hoping this new year will bring more happiness to both of you...
