The Room With No Name

"A cup of coffee. A lit cigarette. A Lover. Friends. My idea of a perfect day."

"I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."



- from "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks

I am Noel Abelardo, a late 20-something corporate yuppie working for an international events marketing company. I am also an aspiring photographer among many things and this site is dedicated to exactly that passion in my life. Photography.

I started the love for photography since I was little. I remember my Dad buying me my first ever camera --- a Nikon FM10 and absolutely adored it. I started taking photography lessons and even joined a club in Grade School to learn Basic and Advanced Photography, where I also learned how to develop my own pictures in a dark room. I believed that capturing beautiful moments in life and I was glad to always share them to the world.

As they say, beauty is very subjective and so this site is my attempt to share with you what I perceive to be beautiful. I started investing on a DSLR to master and hone this craft of making even the simplest things beautiful.

I also came up with this site after much inducement from my friends and family. I guess they're the best critiques of my work since most of my subjects are all about them. And so, I lovingly dedicate this to them.

I am no expert but I hope that my passion for this art eventually takes me to the next level. I am constantly changing, improving, and trying to better my skills as a photographer. There are a lot of great photographers out there and I only pray that one day, I shall be as good as them.

I hope you enjoy looking at these "life stories" as I enjoyed taking and creating them.

Thanks for the love and support and please keep visiting my site for constant updates. =)
