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

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…

Interior Shoot – Phoenix’s Nest
The perfect “physically distanced” shoot just came my way as I was asked to take interior photos of my client’s recently completed project. Two weeks before turn over, I asked them to clean everything, make sure all the lights are working and to keep the place spotless before I come in.

I’m starting to talk to my plants now, and they have suggested that I make good use of my time and start archiving my photos and edit my backlogs. You know what, I’m a pretty impressionable guy so I get right to it. So while looking back at some of the wedding photos, especially the moments we pose you for your portrait shots as a couple, I remember the instructions I would coach you for the poses. As I go through each one, I realize that the instructions are teaching me a thing or two…

Eye on the Streets – Hong Kong
There’s always this lingering decision I have to make whenever I travel. On one hand I’d like to enjoy the place and absorb as much with just my eyes (and stomach) and enjoy the people who I’m traveling with, on the other I’d really love to explore and observe the place with my camera on hand. But as early as arriving in the airport, something tells me it’s going to be a “camera on hand” trip, Hong Kong is a place meant to be photographed. The city vibrates with energy that comes at you in every direction. Everyone and everything seems to be moving, in a hurry. I take note…
