PARADISE SUNSET
Our country is blessed with such beautiful sunsets. To watch, to play in, to sigh to, to thank God for. To view it in a place such as Boracay, is a sight you’d want to remember for as long as you can. I’m thankful for the weekend that was. The unwinding was much needed

MORNING GROOVE
I had an out of Manila shoot a few weeks ago, but it was sched on my coding day because that was the only day available. So I thought, why not get there really early, and nap while I wait for my client. I got there early all right, but my body didn’t want to nap anymore. So I took a walk and explored the market.Markets in the early mornings make for an interesting trip for an observer, much more for a photographer. The energy, smell, people, and light, truly wakes up your senses. A great way to start a day. With ample time to take pictures, and a little…

THE VIRGIN BLUE
It takes effort for me to not shoot. So on the last day of a resort project, I intentionally put away my camera to relax, relax in a way others will define relax. I walk around, enjoy the sand, meditate on the sounds, and then I see this. My feet made a turnaround and I find myself heading to the room for my camera and back to take this shot. For some reason, I am able to relax and enjoy a work trip like this even if you see me shooting the whole day (and night). But now this pic makes me miss the cool blue waves at Virgin Beach.…

THE FORCE IN THE STARS
Whenever you chance upon a clear night sky, try to observe the stars and allow yourself to be overwhelmed by each twinkle that slowly reveals itself. Let your eyes absorb the chaos. But what may seem like chaos, stays in order, whether we see them or not. And with the right camera settings, gears, and proper calculations, you end up with an image like this. Mankind has always asked who placed the stars in the night sky, the Bible says: “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by…

HEAVY DOWNPOUR
What a wet way to end the day. I truly hope you all got home safe and dry. Truly, an umbrella or a raincoat is a must have when you go out these days. What do you think about when it rains like this? I remember this concept that is presented in the Bible: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 5:44-45 #blackandwhite #BGC #NikonPH# streetphotography #dailyphotography

RE-HOPE
Today’s daily bread entry pointed me this reality of suffering in the Bible, but also to the reality of God’s love and faithfulness. “I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one…

Small (ville) Beginnings
“Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many…” ― William Bradford Some time ago I was invited by my friend to cover her school’s moving up ceremony. It will be the first time again for the students and their parents to see each other after such a long time. They asked the parents to dress up their child in what the child hopes to become when they grow up. Some came in as…

You Never Forget a Lingayen Sunset
When the world was locked down and you need masks to go out, we find ways to escape.Escape where?Somewhere…Where you can take off your masks and enjoy the breeze.Where the crashing of the waves causes you to sigh in comfort.Where you can pass wind and nobody will know.Where one minute you’re on earth, the next you’re on a martian view.Where the sky gradients from blue to orange, lavender to purple, so beautifully it overwhelms you.Where you forget the problems of life and thank God you’re alive.I guess that’s what a sunset in Lingayen does. Last year when the road restrictions eased up enough, we started looking for places to explore…
