This is a re-post from my old blog.
I met Lee (Viray Cahili) when we were in college. A quiet
guy with a rare smile (very rare), He was what I call, at the
time, a SILENT LEADER. He got the
looks, the brains, the guts, and something else... CHARM maybe. But generally, he was one INTRIGUING person..
He had been a president
of the Chemistry Society in Far Eastern University, where we both graduated
from, and a representative to various contests. A competitive person with
passion for excellence, he is now an acclaimed photographer and was
awarded Photographer of the Year by the Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, last
year, 2009..
Together with the other
members of LENTI Camera Club,
a club which he, himself, founded, he keeps himself busy with humanitarian
projects like outreach programs. Among his future plans are free seminars and
workshops in photography, in which, he intends to invite well-known
photographers here in the Philippines to conduct seminars and workshops for
children..
When asked what his most
valuable award is, he answered, “Honestly, just knowing people appreciate my works
is a huge recognition..”
Truly an asset to our
country, Lee, single at 34, lives the life of not just an ordinary lensman, but
as a talented photographer hoping to make a difference..
And as he will be
celebrating his birthday on the 24th of this month, this post is for
him.. Happy birthday, LEE! A toast for your SUCCESS.. I
want you know how proud I am of you, and how honored
I am to be one of your friends!
