Marvin and Vergie

It's been a long time since I did a wedding event. In a way I missed it. I missed the urgency and time pressure of it all. Angel Bar called in for me to back-up shoot for them.

Weddings is the sh@t... I didn't know how I much I missed it since I was still shooting for Imagine-Nation :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning Run

I volunteered to cover Ace Saatchi and Saatchi's Charity fun run at the Fort Bonifacio High Street as a pledge to donate a a thousand dollars to the victims of Ondoy. I had no sleep, and I had to wake up at around 430am to get to venue in time. It was a fun event after all we had free breakfast in Pancake House right after.

Things Got A Little Bit Too Competetive

In the End Its All for Charity

Homey Softlight

I just realized how nice and soft the light is in our house. This is one of those times that I had to stay at home as I am finishing my thesis presentation for the next day. It just goes to show how we sometimes take things for granted because we're always busy. :)

PLDT Watch Pad Launch Party

A fabulous party in The Establishment in Fort Bonifacio to launch the new product of PLDT. It 's an online free television for subscribers of their ISP. This is the first time after a month that I covered an event for PLDT again. I had a good time seeing people I have worked with from Speed Circuit again. These are some of the memorable and funny moments in the party! Enjoy!

A first of hopefully many

This is an Ode to my photography professor who does his one photograph a day with his point and shoot. So I decided to do one myself. To me though, it doesn't mean just clicking one photo a day. But at least try to have one image that really stirs your senses. It's not supposed to be forced. Well, at least in my "version." I know this idea has been done so many times before like a broken record. But I really think it's a good exercise to sharpen visual minds. Stupid me for just jumping in the band wagon after two years.

Inspiration Therapy

When I needed inspiration, I always brought my camera with me just to take photos for myself. Just practicing the art of looking and just enjoying the moment when it is just you and your imaging tool. I find that there's really no excuse not to grab your camera and just go shoot something. I have been so caught up with my thesis and about saving and other stuff that I do not really love, but felt like I had to do that I have forgotten how to be relaxed and just be creative in my own way. Randall Dagooc of Mango Red told me something that really hit the idea in the head. (As photographers) "inspiration is our currency".

With that I just walked around and shot anything that fancied my eye. There's no account executive telling me the important parts to shoot, there's no time pressure, I didn't even had to worry about my gear with me. Just the camera and a fifty. That's it.

Looking for Something

I was in UP for a classes that did not happen. So I thought I'd bring my camera and look for "perfectly inspired" shot where everything just fell together and then God pats you in the back and told you "that was for you son".

But no. Nothing like that happened. But here's what I found!

In no particular order:

Falling Apart

Indigo

"Green" Decorations

Extra Sprinkles Please

Water Marks

Digital Photography Rot

I've been shooting film range finders recently to have a break with digital jujus in my DSLR. Honestly, I thank God for giving man digital technology. I'm sure some of you might disagree, but hey, I like both. There is something special with film that I just can point out. A certain physicality in the over all look of the image that i don't think can be done with any digital camera EVER.

Anyway, here are some of the shots. Enjoy!
