You mean about the parting words? Because I didn't want to issue a motherhood statement anymore. So I just plugged my Multiply site. Hehehe. =B)

Tok, that's an ugly picture. It's not only noisy, the camera, which is supposed to be the focal point, is out of focus. The background is also cluttered. More practice. Nice rig, though! =B)

Cheers,
Norman

Ooopps! i'm sorry.. i don't think i asked for your comment?! =b HAHAHAHA! =D

although i have to agree, that is one fine piece of photographical equipment! *drool*

Sir Tok, that was a really funny text message. Natawa ako don. Live on TV ha? :)

*Yikes* Naabutan mo pa pala yun Mitz! =b

i wasn't really sure if they were gonna read it on air since most of the questions were directed at Mr. Floro... but then again! =b

By the way, Tok will do =)

Sir Norman, shy type ka pala. :)

Sir Tok, that was a really funny text message. Natawa ako don. Live on TV ha? :)
Mitz, shy makapal. Hehehe.:Grin:

------------
Pia: [Reads viewer feedback] From Tok Paler: 'Nice capture Norman!' Norman, is he your friend?
Norman: He's actually one of my friends [laughs]
------------

I actually wanted to say: "Tok Paler, that's not the right way to comment on a photo!" Hehehe.

------------
One of the more funny moments:
Pia: [Points to the widescreen TV showing a fish] Wow, what is that?
Norman: [Feeling all-knowing] That's actually a fish.
Pia: [Laughs] Of course it's a fish.
Norman: [Chuckles] Yes, it's a lizard fish shot on a night dive in Tubbataha [smiles].
------------

------------
Another:
Pia: Did you get certified with PADI or NAUI? (Pia is also a diver and she's with NAUI.)
Norman: PADI
Pia: What's PADI again? [thinking]
Norman: Uhm... PADI [mental block] Professional... [keeps on thinking]
Pia: Professional Association... [thinking] of Diving Instructors.
Norman: Yes, that's it.
------------

Hehehehehehehe.

------------
Pia: [To me] Any parting words?
Norman: Hmmm... [after a brief pause] Check out my site at swordfish2.multiply.com!
Pia: [smiles and says in a monotone voice, as if aping me] Check out my site at swordfish2.multiply.com. [everybody laughs]
Pia [To Mark, the guest food photographer] Mark?
Mark: Don't forget to have passion... etc.
-------------

I think Mr. Floro (the food photographer, from the famous Floro Photo] was forced to keep his parting words really short because I opted not to say anything. Hehehe.
Before the interview, I had a butterfly in my stomach. But as the interview progressed, I think I lost it, including my mind. =B) Good thing Pia was okay.
John, bigyan kita otograp sa noo next time. Hahaha. =B) Tok, yu tink? Nyehehe. Teejay, I know what IMHO is, but what's TFS? :D

Cheers,
Norman

Pia: How deep was that?
Norman: about 6 meters
Pia: so 20 feet?
Norman: 6 meters.. I'm not sure, meters ako e. 18 ata?
Pia: so 20 nga?!

Natatawa kami ni Vin (also a forumer here in DPP) because Mr Floro was spouting a lot of words and you in contrast seem to say so little. Para kayong yin at yan. :D

I actually feel for Pia. It must be hard interviewing a technically-intensive profession practitioner. She must have had a steep learning curve. :) You could literally see her feeling her way through the interview.

I just really wish that someone nabbed a video of this one! But Tok's photos really helped us visualized the intensity of your shyness... Bashful type ka pala Norman!!!! OMG!!! :D
