My hands got tied so to speak.

First and foremost i would like to convey my heartfelt apologies for not having replied to the deluge of deviations, journals, news items and favorites sent to me by my dear friends, watchers, critiques and supporters.. I feel so awkward and so sorry.

There were two major events that i consider the 'culprits' that led to my not having been able to regularly visit DA for the past weeks or so. - First, my business partners from Hongkong arrived around two weeks ago and sat down with me and my wife to discuss the finalization of our plan to put up an authentic vegetarian restaurant here at Cebu Island, The Philippines. Of course this was a major family decision that we are undertaking and needed a lot of research and analysis.

Secondly, The Cebu X International Furniture Show has just concluded a few days back. My photography company was one of the diamond sponsors for the event's brochure and its photo coverage. It ran for five consecutive days.

And thirdly i had to consummate my backlogs in the way of post processing for the five photography projects i had for the month of February, three of which were for BluPrint Magazine, the premier Design and Architectural read in this part of the world.

I am extremely elated to be back and excited to see your works,images and obras. Of course please bear with me as it will take a while to reply to all the almost 300 deviations and the more than 50 journals and the many favorites i received from you my dear friends, watchers, critiques and supporters here at DA.

All the best and Cheers !

Namaste,

Rene'
