In this album: Lee Ann

Lee Ann

Lee Ann was probably the very first model that I was able to use strobes and the first model that I was able to shoot. More than a year after, I'm glad I was able to have another opportunity to take photos of her.

Cinematica

For the longest time, I have been saying that I don't like using strobes or flashes. It was in a recent workshop that I attended where I realized, that it was not ambient lighting that I preferred. I preferred photographs with a great play of lights and shades. A photograph that would seem like it was taken from a movie would catch my attention more than just a simple sharp and well-exposed photograph. As the term I have adopted a few months before would connote "chiaroscuros".

Pan de Amerikana: is the place to be.

A few months back, a friend of mine and I were looking for places where we could just hang around and shoot. Many places today require permits and fees for a small group of people to use their facilities to shoot, even public places. While browsing through Google, I came upon a list of interesting places that could be used as a venue for photoshoots. And it listed Pan de Amerikana in Marikina as a great place to use.

Memories of Jollibee and the ER: of how a simple act (or a great one) can turn the mood around

Everyday is a miracle

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin
air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle
which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green
leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes.
All is a miracle.

My memories of Jollibee would alway be linked to an event that happened to me in my 1 year stint in the Emergency Room. It was a typical day of toxicity and a never-ending stream of patients. As the day wore on there was less and less available beds and more and more irritable people. That was still a few hours before noon. 

Chase Jarvis: On Travel and Packing Gears

Chase Jarvis gives a view of the gears he use and usually brings. I'm used to seeing a closet full of bags and being a bag person myself, its a closet (or shelves) I'd wish I would have.

Just another rainbow

At the end of a rainbow. Pulo, Tanza, Navotas.

The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.

I am presently going through my 'stuck' (yes, literally stuck, not stock) photos,

looking for photos to submit for monthly entries to my Pinay Shutters photo group.

de-Coffee-nated

Starbucks Coffee

It runs through my circulatory system, it is the drug that keeps me going... caffeine. I've learned to drink coffee when I entered medicine. Although not as addicted to it as I was before, it still gives me the extra "oomph" to keep my day or mood going. I started to be addicted in those days where the early morning cramming mattered

A Junkyard Shoot

MMDA Junkyard

I was so excited for the past few days for the photoshoot that was set before the holidays began. So excited that I forgot to take my medication just in case my migraine attacks.

Have fun, be crazy, be weird

Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up!
