While raising the lightstand for Mimi & Karl as they take engagement photos, I often try to snap a few clicks hoping for a beside–the–scene glimpse at a heartfelt moment slowly (or more often, quickly) unfolding. Sometimes, I get lucky. Just minutes before the session that produced the photo above, I was trailing Karl as […]
… my photograph will be there. A photo I took, of course, not a portrait of me. It’s not too much to ask for the stars once in a while, in your dreams.
A few months ago, several bloggers attended the food blogging and photography class at the Serye branch inside the Quezon Memorial Circle. Since then, Serye has undergone a subtle re–branding to further emphasize its Filipino roots, to its advantage. Serye is truly Filipino, it being a product of the Reyes clan, surely more known for […]
We were told we couldn’t shoot inside the stadium, so I left my 400D at home. But just in case, I sneaked in an Ixus for some snapshots. Surprise, surprise — people were shooting with their digital cameras and phonecams, and some even managed to bring in their digital SLRs. Anyway, here are some of […]
This is the first photo I took that got published in a magazine, used as a whole page background for an article I wrote for the May–June issue of Mobile Philippines, the one with Priscilla Meirelles on the cover.

My life has now been limited to photos, or at least my blog. For now. At least I’m blogging again. 😉 Hehe. More photos from Mimi’s birthday celebration at Route 196. More photos from our Rocked Radio/NU107 invasion. Too bad we never tried the Airheads idea.
This entry will not be longer than it needs to be: Aileen is looking for bloggers who wouldn’t say no to free food. A dinner and gimik of sorts, sponsored by SM Hypermart. July 3, 2007 at the SM Mall of Asia. Photo above from Juned’s “cultured” birthday dinner at his house that could pass […]
Yeah, I know it’s now Monday. As you may already know, taking photos is one of my passions, one I’d do without any financial or material gains.
