ETERNITY, The NUI Bodypainting Awards 2010




I had a hard time conceptualizing the website for Eternity's Winning Entries, but in the end, I opted to use the my blog for easier access.

It was a busy year ender for all of us who made Eternity a breakthrough. After the Crossing Bridges event with five nations arriving at one time to visit our city and photograph the life and colors of San Carlos, we have done it again.

For our Ninth Nui Bodypainting Competition (supposed to be the Eight Nui Pintaflores Bodypainting, hence, ETERNITY), we made one impact for the San Carlosenos and the photographer followers that deserve the recognition - as artists and concerned individuals of San Carlos. We have made it for nine years and we will do it again for four-folds more
