Photos of Camiguin, Philippines

[Kerpower 0]

Hello all,

 

I am just returning from a trip to Camiguin, a small island between Bohol

and Mindanao in the Philippines. I updated my web site to share some

pictures : http://www.subphoto.com/index-e.htm

 

As Camiguin is a volcanic island, dives are like in Bali, on black sand

(muck diving). So it is mostly macro photography (I was unlucky with the

weather and visibility so not much wide angle).

 

Have a nice visit !

Some wonderful shots. I have been to Alona a beach a couple times, and have always thought about diving at Camiguin, but years ago there was no one going there (as far i could tell). Who were you diving with? Looks like its a really great site, with all the usual and not so usual suspects...

 

I LOVE the green crinoid shrimp, the purple frogfiosh, and the white nudi with all the spikes is killer! Never seen that before...

 

Thanks!!

Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in parallel in the late 1950s in the United

 

States. The coinage of the term Pop Art is often credited to British art critic/curator, Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled

 

The Arts and the Mass Media, although the term he uses is "popular mass culture" Nevertheless, Alloway was one of the leading

 

critics to defend mass culture and Pop Art as a legitimate art form. Pop art is one of the major art movements of the

 

twentieth century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as advertising and comic

 

books, pop art is widely interpreted as either a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism or an

 

expansion upon them. Pop art, like opie art, pop music, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in

 

art like having own photo in to art or emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements

 

of any given culture. It has also been defined by the artist’s use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering

 

techniques that down play the expressive hand of the artist. Pop art at times targeted a broad audience, and often claimed to

 

do so.
