BOHOL BEE FARM
I remember my previous experience in Bohol Bee Farm to be a bit strange because I wasn’t able to see any bees. I later learned that the colony moved to a different location when Bohol was hit by a major storm. What I also remember was that I enjoyed their food a lot! Especially their ice cream. I’m back again in Bohol, this time with my family, and the place is as lively as can be. Passing by the reception area and the shop, we walk down a quaint pathway towards the restaurant, a very buzzzy restaurant. Service staff would zip by bringing dishes or clearing tables, the chattering of…

SEIZE THE DAY!
Do something differently. Do something a little bit better. Don’t worry too much. Smile. Thank God. Go, seize the day, Seize it the right way! Because “This is the day which the Lord has made; Let’s rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

OILING THE GEARS
It’s been a long while since I’ve done a predebut photoshoot. Mainly because I haven’t been marketing myself for it lately. It came to a point where I wonder to myself if I’m still able to do it well. But I have a friend whom I owed a photoshoot for, and what she asked was for me to do a pictorial for her niece. I really couldn’t say no. Arriving at the venue, I try to shake off thoughts that tell me that I’m rusty at this kind of shoots. Instead, I try to remember the teachings I learned before, and compile them in my head as I prepare my…

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 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

A Rainy Day for a Photowalk
A week ago at around midnight while browsing facebook I chanced upon the event by Fujifilm regarding a nationwide photowalk, and to my delight, they have a category for non Fuji users! I signed up without a thought. On the day of the event the call time is at 6am, I’m lazy on my bed at 5:30am. Should I go?
