Almost every photographer's dream is for their works to be published, whether on a book, magazine, or newspaper. As an amateur travel photographer, I am not exempted, I also want my works to be published, especially on a travel magazine.

Every time I take flights, I always spend time reading in-flight magazines. I am always amazed at those wonderful, touristy pictures that were captured by photographers. And I always wished I can take those kinds of photos too and be published in a travel magazine


       One of my favorite travel magazines is South East Asia Backpacker magazine. It’s a magazine for backpackers in South East Asia which is published once every two months. My first encounter with that magazine was when I saw it in a shelf in one of the guesthouses in Siem Reap, Cambodia. After reading a few articles, I can’t get enough of it. I wanted to bring it home. Fortunately, the guesthouse caretaker gave it to me. He said it was also left there by a backpacker. Through that magazine, I was able to stumble on their website and Facebook page, and later found out that backpackers can actually contribute to that magazine. I grabbed the opportunity and submitted photos for the magazine.

Since the editorial team, led by Nikki Scott, their editor-in-chief, visited the Philippines in January, to introduce the magazine there and explore more about the country, I submitted photos of the Philippines, knowing that they will write articles about the Philippines. Good thing I went on a vacation to the Philippines last December so I have tons of Philippine photos. I submitted photos of Manila, particularly those historical, touristy places like Intramuros, Luneta Park, and Fort Santiago.

On March 8, 2012, I received a letter from the Editor-in-Chief, Nikki Scott, stating that they just released the latest issue and one of my photos was published. Praise the Lord! It was another published photo. (after Expat Travel and Lifestyle) I really love SEA magazine and to be able to contribute to that magazine is a nice feeling.
