The Return of the Jedi: Ronald Velasquez Weaves His Magic
Author: orman | Filed under: Sikat Ever
After long hiatus from no-nonsense photography
The Jedi finally returns
Ronald V. Velasquez, like it or not, started the whole photography craze
I remember him cajoling me to invite Bob Timonera to Gensan
Asking me to get Bob and his Manila friends to help shoot our Festivals
Ronald that time was just learning the ropes of taking great pictures
He eventually made great strides to become one of Gensan’s Best
But something happened along the way
The master somewhat lost his inspiration
I saw it myself but kept mum about it
With the Jedi in suspended animation
The playing field produced a number of aspiring photographers
Some overshadowing Ronald’s works
Most of them, though, remained as aspirants
Then something happened late last year
Ronald began taking GOOD pictures again
This time around, he was pitted against Gensan’s Best
One of his shots won in the Tuna Festival Photo Contest
Could it have been just a fluke?
Then he began taking more pictures and sharing them
I knew then that he is definitely back
I knew then what provided his inspiration
Ronald’s wife, Gaygay, is pregnant with their first
Praise the good Lord!
Ronald took the pool shots of the Lakan at Lakambini finalists
The Jedi has returned, indeed.

for the record, (modesty aside) just last year alone, i won 2nd place at the maitum photo contest, 4th (i think) at the sultan kudarat photo contest and 2nd at the National Tourism Week photo contest.
but of course, i might have gotten all first places if i was as inspired then as i am now. (*wink)
