FAITH TO REST, FAITH TO MOVE
I remember I was beside my wife back then when she was given the news that the company she’s working for is ceasing their operations here in the Philippines. We were all in shock, and to those who have experienced this, you know that the rest of the week will be surreal. Sudden changes in life in general comes as a shock, and it takes its toll, whether physically, or mentally, it literally drains your energy for the days. When that happens you got to stop what you are doing, close your eyes, and breathe in. Keep reminding yourself to not worry, because reality will be knocking every moment of…

BACKLIT BANANAS
I was staring at these bananas while taking some photos in the marketplace, and I was thinking to myself: “Wow, they look soooo nice….”. Photographer brain quickly kicked in and reminded me that it is because of the morning light hitting it at the right angle. The more I looked at it, the more I thought about how the right light brings out the colors, shape, and texture of something. It generally elevates an image! Did I mention RIGHT LIGHT?

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…
