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…

Camera on Hand – Baguio, A Home for the Heart
Baguio has always been an escape for me, a place where I can forget about the seriousness of life and take things slow… really slow.

Rainy Chores
The weather has a way of surprising us lately, in the mornings it will be hot and then in the afternoon it will be cold and wet. But as much as it is an inconvenience to most people, it also allows some interesting and charming humor.

A Different Path
An image I took while waiting in a street corner on a rainy day in Shanghai reminds me to always keep my eyes alert to the things that may not be obvious at first glance. I’m always amazed at how the rain can be like a portal to the world of reflections and how it opens up multiple possibilities in making an image unique. See more at the silhouettes gallery
