Congratulations are in order for fellow pBase.com photographer Manny Libroto from Philippines - he's featured in the current online edition of pBase Magazine's issue #8 and it's a fantastic interview with one of the best photographers on pBase.com, and one of the better portrait shooters in the world.

I'm also excited to hear that Nikon Philippines has now officially Sponsored Manny with new gear: a Nikon D2X
...Manny's images are fantastic - he's worked so hard over the past few years and I'm happy to see Nikon recognizing his efforts and finally Sponsoring him.
Please check out his image galleries at pBase - he puts a twist on most of his images with some exciting post-processing in Photoshop, resulting in images that just blow you away.

Manny's a teacher based now in Thailand, and is originally from Iloilo Philippines - and one of these days when he's back here we'll surely make the time to schedule a shoot together.
...I've always considered Manny a 'street-shooter' at heart, and I've always been drawn to his images of the poor, and working poor.
Thanks for reading today,
