BORING MONDAYS | Session 68 | THE DOCTOR IS IN | Live Consultation | Advice | Safety | Health | DOH

#Pandemic #Virus #Covid19

Alpha. Delta. Omicron. Too many variants, too much information, and changes in protocols, on top of the misinformation on social media. As we enter the third year of the pandemic, we invited a doctor, who has been treating COVID-19 patients, to shed light on the COVID-19, Year 3. Since the virus is close to home and spreading fast, what should we do to protect ourselves and our families? This is your chance to consult for free!

So, join me and my co-hosts with our guest, DR. TONI ROSE LAMATA-PORRAS, RMT, MD, DPSP, on this special public service episode of Boring Mondays.

SPECIAL EPISODE (EP18): ROSSCAPILI | ANG OBRA MAESTRA | Visual Artist | Painting | Art | Philippines

#VisualArtist #Painting #Rosscapili 

---------------------------------------------------------

After so many years, I finally got to catch up with one of the people who paved the way for me and many other creatives on our path to photography or the arts. Rosscapili has helped so many of us and we learned more about a different side to this well-known artist during our one-on-one chat on PARC HERE LIVE. Here's just some of what he shared to us about his life. 

1. He came from humble beginnings. This gave him the drive to set and, more importantly, achieve goals that would make all of his sacrifices worthwhile. Persistency is in his bones, to the point of stubbornness, and he saw the limitations he faced as challenges to overcome, not barriers. In his struggles, he never let the put-downs or  criticisms affect is output. 

2. He made helping out other struggling artists an advocacy. As much as possible, Ross doesn't want other artists to go through what he has been through so he gives a lot of creatives the break they need, especially when he sees their potential. He doesn't just look for someone "good." He supports creatives with unique talents.

3. He's not afraid to explore. He believes that creatives aren't supposed to limit themselves as there will always be something to try. He also explained the value of an art and how it can appreciate and could potentially become an expensive collector's item. He talked about why artists and photographers should give value to their work by printing and signing these, and not just keeping it stored in a hard disk because you'll never know! 

4. At the core of his focus is his family. He balances everything he has done in the hopes of giving his family the life and comforts they deserve. He's an artist and mentor to others, but he is a husband and father first and foremost. 

If you'd like to know more about Ross, watch our interview on PARC Here.

---------------------------------------------------------

Joining us on PARC Here Live! for December is none other than the esteemed visual artist, Ross Capili. He was the first person in the arts to give newcomers like me a break. During our time, his OWG Art Gallery in Makati was where we got to showcase our work. I remember he used to host a weekly get-together for photographers there, and that's where we were able to build long-lasting ties. 

I'm delighted that he granted our invitation for this special interview, to catch up with an old friend who has contributed a lot to this industry. Here's your chance to get to know the artist, the arts advocate, and the champion of the creatives.

Tune in on December 30th, 2021 as we welcome Ross Capili "ROSSCAPILI" on PARC HERE LIVE! Episode 18 "And Obra Maestra".

SPECIAL EPISODE (EP17): VIC SISON | LOW KEY | Portrait | Artist | Painter | Mentor | Professional PH

#PROPHOTOGRAPHER #ARTIST #VICSISON 

------------------

It has been a first-rate discussion with a man who's quite elusive about shining the spotlight on himself. We've finally unwrap some facets of Vic Sison, one of the outstanding photographers we know. Here are seven things we discussed and uncovered about him: 

1. He delved into "Paintography" long before digital art came to be. As a painter inspired by Amorsolo, Vic's venture into the arts did not fully satisfy his creative drive. So, he decided to include photography as the missing formula in his works. In combining both, where he actually paints over his photographs -- think "old school" Photoshop -- Vic was able to find the perfect medium for him,

2. For Vic, "Teaching is learning twice," which means that, even as he's the instructor, he's also learning from his students. Though he acknowledged adapting too late with technology, to get on with the trends, he has his striking opinions about how this adaptation affected his work.

3. Vic's happiness is centered on his friends and as much as he is rarely marketing himself, he loves to know that people appreciate what he does. He's equally stimulated when people wonder and analyze his art. 

4. He doesn't want to box himself in one genre and would instead want his output to speak for itself. Blowing his own trumpet is not his cup of tea. 

5. Listen to him share a story about a cool place in Hidalgo that will remind people of Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. He and his friends call this "Ang Gubat." 

6. Vic talked about his respect for photojourns who mutually reciprocate their appreciation for his work. During his heydey, there was healthy competition and the support system was different.

7. He named the people who were part of his success, including the 12 apostles.

------------------

A Portraits Artist, Photographer, Painter and FPPF Lecturer for many years.

We've been obliged by one of the country's well-respected photographers and we're eager to have him in the next episode of PARC HERE because he's quite the low profile powerhouse. It will be interesting to unpack who Victor Vic Sison is during our chat as I'm sure his many admirers would love to know facets about about his life and work as a painter, portrait artist and teacher. Despite his low key presence in the online world, Vic is one of the big wheels of the FPPF. As a lecturer for many years, he has influenced and motivated many photographers who went on to make a name for themselves. 

Come and watch this special session with VIC SISON as he chats with me on PARC HERE on NOVEMBER 20, 2021, Saturday 8:30PM (Philippines Standard Time)

BORING MONDAYS | Session 59 | PROUD PINOY | Filipino Photographer | Photo Competitions | Philippines

#Pinoy #Artist #Competitions

We're tackling another discussion about photo competitions and this time, we're going to ask a resource person whom you may have infrequently come across in mainstream news. However, he belongs to a special category of photographers who have brought pride for the country. For years, he has been the Philippine Team Leader for the World Photographic Cup, a prestigious, one-of-a-kind international competition. He has a very long list of accomplishments, dating back almost 20 years, including a 9-time Ani ng Dangal presidential recognition from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). 

This is your chance to ask about the ins and outs of photo competitions from someone who has been through the most fulfilling journey. Boring Mondays welcomes Jophel Botero Ybiosa on November 15, 2021 and we're inviting you to join us and have a free-flowing gab with our Pinoy pride!
