[Title] => Sleepwalking with a camera
[Summary] => It is easy to imagine that at 70, veteran photographer Sonny Yabao, the only one revered by younger generations of photographers as the “master,” has seen it all and has slowed down.

[Title] => Ports of entry (and some exits, too)
[Summary] => The coffee table book has, through the years, become a genre unto itself, a category of literature that gives equal if not more weight to the visual aspect, thus in the National Book Awards handed out annually by the Manila Critics Circle in conjunction with National Book Development Board, though there’s no best coffee table book, there are however best art book and best design.

[Title] => Canonization, caponization
[Summary] => It’s unfortunate that a couple of world-class exploits recently carved out by Pinoys also happen to have paled soon after in the slipstream of other, inadvertent consequences, related or not.

[Title] => Three-part harmony
[Summary] => After drowning you in 21st century gimmicks and gizmos all January, I’m going to take you down memory lane this week, realizing that three separate items I’d noted down all have something to do with taking a long, leisurely leap to the past. I know, I know – nostalgia’s a cheap emotion, an easy fix for today’s disquiets and tomorrow’s uncertainties, and it’s about as close to enlightenment as a witticism is to wisdom. But what the heck, I’m sure most of you will agree that we deserve a break, any break, from the present, such as it is.

[Title] => Santo Santi, Viva Bose!
[Summary] => 
During his lifetime, he was acclaimed in manifold ways.
The Artist as Medicine Man. The Shaman from Baguio. The Brave in the Arts. An Ethnic Artist. An Artist Without a Conventional Top Hat. High Spirited. Timely. Unorthodox.
Surely, he was all these. Such that his death last Dec. 1 leaves a gaping void in Philippine art. Santiago Pavila Bose, 53, a.k.a. Santi, in all peregrinations of the term and at the risk of being irreverent which he surely would love, was one hell of a Filipino artist.

[Title] => ‘Tragedy begets text’
[Summary] => Okay, I borrowed that title. Or more correctly, appropriated it. My dear friend Ben Razon, photographer non pareil and one of the sanest and most articulate artists I know, used it as his subject title for a recent e-mail message.
"Tragedy begets text." Yes. Exactly how I felt, deluged and besieged by text as I have been, perhaps like everyone else among you who’s linked to the obstreperous Net.
