    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…

    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.

    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?
