About Marco


I am Marco Cabazal and the Octopus’ Garden is my personal blog.

In it, you can find mainly photographs of varying subjects that I find interesting.

Occassionally, you can also find me writing about miscellaneous topics like technology and the experiences associated with it, life in general, and of course, photography, which is something I’ve been in love with since I was a child.

While I currently work for the #1 Philippine Telco in a team doing exciting stuff for mobile and the web, I am also open to take assignments as a commercial photographer. I’d pretty much be excited to do anything except Weddings. :) And if you’re interested, you can get the works I have here hanging on your favorite wall or for licensing.

I do believe in paying it forward. So, if you think I can help you learn more about photography, feel free to drop me a note and I’ll try my best to get the simplest answers out.  And, if you belong to a charitable institution which requires the service of a photographer, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. I’d like to know how I can help.

My words are my own and neither the company I work for nor any other party has anything to do with what I say or write here.

You can drop me a note via marco [ dot ] cabazal [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com and +63 (918) 93-MARKU.

You can also follow me on Twitter!

  • Hi Marco,

    You have a great web site and I've seen your collection in Flicker. Great shots.

    I didn't know you are into photography too. Maybe we should hook up sometime.

Clouds Over The Makati City Hall (Time Lapse)

I was hoping the color of light would change dramatically but it didnt. However, subtle movement (cars, clouds) can be noticed if you look closely. :)


A Time Lapse Experiment

I’ve had my camera, a D300, for years now and it has this feature to shoot photos at pre-defined intervals. I’m practically hitting myself in the head for not trying this early on, but it’s never too late to give it a shot. So here’s my initial attempt at Time Lapse Photography. Camera was mounted on [...]


 


Black & White Film Processing At Home

With all the resources out there, this should quickly get you into film processing quickly. This is meant as a beginner’s How-To in developing/processing your Black and White film without the need of a darkroom. But, it should, by no means be considered as a one-top-shop for the topic. If you want to advance further or get more technical, tons of resources are available out there for googling.


Slowing Down and Reuniting with Film

One Way

In this day and age of digital cameras and warp-speed workflows, why would anyone want to go film? That’s a question that has been asked of me these past few weeks. I don’t know, maybe because after a stressful year at work and the associated warp-speed timelines,  I really DO want to SLOW down and [...]

Top Reasons Why You Might Want To Get That Backup Harddisk Already

Regardless of the interests that you have, it’s most likely that you have already accumulated huge amounts of data across the years. However you put it, these data is a big part of your life already. From your college papers, your business presentations, to your accounting and tax sheets, from your technical whitepapers to personnel [...]


Deliciously del.icio.us!

For anyone who uses, at the least, two computers (e.g. a home PC and an office laptop), maintaining a common set of bookmarks can be very tedious. When a change is made on one computer, I used to export bookmarks from it and import into the other, and vice-versa, in an almost vicious cycle. It [...]

Cafes Are Not Just About Exhorbitantly Priced Coffee

Have you ever found yourself trying to work on something for hours and still ended up with nothing at all? Sometimes, the best way to actually get work done is to just walk away from it and have a change of scenery. Let’s admit it, there will always be times when you’d want to just [...]


Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain) and How Cycling Helped Ease It

Several months ago, after years of whining, I finally consulted a doctor and was finally diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis on my left foot. For those who don’t know, Plantar Fasciitis is a very painful condition of the heel which is aggravated by extensive standing, walking, running, and weight-bearing (including my own) activities. It has been [...]
