Hi Sir gerry.
I'm your new fan! :) GOD really blessed you with a great talent! Sir, its really great that I was able to see your photos and I was really amazed. Actually, I'm really looking forward to be like yours, taking great pictures of things here on earth. I really loved to learn more on photography and join a club. I was indeed a photojournalist when I was in high school for 2 years and I stopped my passion when I was in College for some personal matters but now that I'm already craving for it again, I'm decided to really pursue on it. I hope I could get some views from you with regards on my desire.
Thanks and GOD bless! :)

Wow, Gerry what a great website!!! I have not looked at this site in a while and it is even greater than before. The slideshow feature is great and even at full screen the pics are super nice. Nice job and great pics. When ever relatives back in the USA want to know what it looks like where we live, Tacloban, San Gerardo Hts., I will provide them with your website.
