My view at the Ammos hotel!!!

Just quick note to say I won’t be doing much on the blog for the next week as I am away on the Island of Crete to see in my, Jesus..40th bloody birthday on Friday with my family. How the hell did that happen!? It feels like only yesterday I was 18!! I clearly remember being a teenager when my dad turned 40 and I though my god that’s old!! Oh well…I still have the maturity of a 14 year old! 
Anyway I am on holiday and the internet here sucks too so I can’t really watch anything on line. I can’t even send any emails as they seem to be doing some sort of port blocking malarky which is screwing up mailboxes. i can receive fine just not reply! Don’t get what is going on there…need IT support please! So apologies if I don’t reply to your emails, I will do my best to catch up when I get home! I will still be tweeting a fair bit though, especially of photos I take.
So I will be back in England soon and be back with a raft of new blog posts including a review of the Canon XF100/ 105 and XA10 and a look at Nikon DSLRS, oh and of course some nice images from this beautiful Island!
Below is a poster to a documentary I DPd last year. I am really happy with it. It will be doing the festival circuit first….more on that soon…
Anyway…take a look at what 40 years does to a man!

Cute to brat to hollywood glamour to 007 to studmuffin to 40 year old Philip Bloom.
Cheers and a Happy Birthday
Many happy returns from downunder, hope you have a fabulous, well earned break.
Enjoy the time off and have a great birthday,
Welcome to the club !
Joyeux anniversaire de Belgium à Philip.
Happy birthday man !
You’re not becoming old, you’re becoming an adult !
Anyway, enjoy your birthday, have a good time with your family !
No, no, no, 60 is the new 40 so that puts you way back to your 20′s. Anyway, what does it matter? Just keep wearing the T shirt and smile a lot. Congratulations – kid!
Hahaha, funny, enjoy Philip!
Awesome Philip, happy birthday man, i have to become 39 in june so i know exactly what you’re talking bout, although being on the island of Crete will undoubtedly blunt the blow!
Congrats Philip! You looked kind of dashing at 26 but today… not so much. Enjoy.
Sorry you don’t fancy me anymore!
HBD my friend!
Happy Birthday from Greece. Is there something that links you with Crete or Greece?
Nice place to become old…Crete is the place with Methuselah people…it is the climate, the olive oil and the wine that helps…:D
I adore the Greek Islands and the mainland. I used to come here for holidays so often. Recently not so much. Good to be back
Happy Birthday mate…you’re almost as old as me.
Dominic
Hey Dom. We never got to talk in Vegas.
Funny, always figured you for a taurus, they are the coolest people afterall.
just remember this: it has been scientifically proven that men get the life they want at 45 in which we probably end up with 3D you can touch?!?!
As for the photo’s… hmm not sure going from a Ron Howard look to a Ron Jeremy is exactly what you would want in a film career…
Ron Jeremy!?!?
Happy Birthday and thank you for everything you’ve done for the art and for all of us that have learned from you, and from your genius!
Thanks Diego
Hi Phillip!
Congrats here from Denmark. I can tell you it is not that bad to reach 40…
Happy Birthday Philip, 40 is the new 30
Hey! First of all, happy birthday, master of DSLR’s! Welcome to Greece, hope you enjoy your stay, although the Wi-Fi suck big time
thanks. I adore Greece!
Many many happy birthday Philip.
Looking at your last picture I understand why you use a lot of CS 5.5 for Adobe Effects eliminate camera shake during your videos.
Hello Alessandro
The last picture looks like the old man from the Pixar movie UP.

Happy Birthday Phil ! Wish you and all us will have at least other 40 years of great video contributions and magnificent inspirations you shared with us, all your fans. Happy Birthday from Italy !
Happy Birthday!
This is my tribute…http://www.michaelsroubek.com/2011/05/tribute-to-philip-bloom.html
Ammos is a great resort and Crete a beautiful island (good choices!!). I’m sure you’re going to enjoy your time there! Great food too!
I’ll be heading back to Greece in a couple of weeks leaving rainy NY (at last). Looking forward to chill in the Ionian islands (Ithaca, Zante).
Once again, happy birthday, I wish you the very best!
Happy birthday! Enjoy the naughty forties!
have a good one Philip and enjoy your holiday and time with your family !
Hope your birthday blossoms into lots of dreams come true!
Happy Birthday Philip!
Since you’re already in Greece,why don’t you drop by Athens for a meeting?
Have fun in Crete!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! Enjoy your holiday.
Happy B”Day, to the man who enriches so many of our lives!
Happy Birthday PB
Greek Yogurt and Honey. mmmmmmmmm
I haven’t been there in 20 years. If you make a video about that place I will probably have one of those happy/crying experiences.
Also be careful about drinking the RAKI. Sip it, don’t toss it. It’s the Crete version of Moonshine. They make it from old tires. hahaha
Only 40? I thought you were much older,
Enjoy the peace of an internet-less holiday.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Philip! Have a blast in Crete~
Happy Birthday! You deserve the best.
Happy Birthday Philip! Mine’s May 18th. Wanted a Canon XF100 for my birthday, but I’m going to wait for your review. Thanks!
next week!!
happy birthday too!

Happy Birthday, Philip! I know this sounds corny, but its cool that you are so close to your family. I hope I am when I’m 40! (not that 40 is that old).
Thanks for all you do for us!
Happy birth and prosperous times Phil!!
The amount of creative and inspiring work you have made over the years in addition to dedicating so much time sharing your knowledge and helping educate others is a legacy you should be proud of, keep on doing what you do!
Looking forward to the future!
