Update. Update. Update.

First update...

Thank you to all who showed support for my contest in one way or another. As of this writing there are three participants who have completed all the required entries... I am asking you all to support them by visiting their blogs (and a little spamming on the comments won't hurt... hehe...)

Redlan's Web of Arts- One of the most creative bloggers I know. He tinkers with postcards, turns pillowcases to body bags, transforms paper scraps to exquisite paper covers, and many others. Visit and discover creative ideas.

Tanging Yaman- Sandi's blog is profused with positivity and kindness. A much needed breather in the many rants inside the blogosphere. Visit and be refreshed.

Going Beyond a Hidden Sanctuary- Isay's blog reflects the beautiful person inside and out. Her blog is a testament to her inner strength. Visit and be encouraged.

The success of this activity lies not in the number of participants but in finally giving the book and to help the winner to explore the craft of photography and to help him or her to be better in taking pictures.

The contest is still open for everyone until July 18...

Second update...

Before I even ventured in photography, I have always been trying to be a better writer. Through the years, I have accumulated many materials out of the many moments I mused and wrote in about any material I could find at that moment, from cardboards to tissue paper...

Thus, I am adding another blog to this one. The blog is entitled "A Series of Duration". This is actually the title of my compiled (better) works through the years. I'll be adding new reading materials from time to time. So if you feel like just reading (and really reading), you are welcome to visit this site. You will also find that some entries here in the Nooks and Crannies blog are taken from this compilation. Criticisms are more than welcome. They would make me better. The links in the new blog however will be for selected bloggers who tend to be on the literary side.

Third update...

Since I am now maintaining two blogs, my pseudonym "Coolwaterworks" will be linked to a portal that will let visitors select which blog they would want to enter.

Thank you so much for all the support, and I hope you would also take time to visit my other blog.

God bless you!
