Dili Man Ni Manila
Dili Man Ni Manila
This Is Not Manila. When you enter Eastwood, it doesn't feel like Manila at all. It feels like you're in the movies. Or you're in a dream, in a Gossip Girl setup. Haha. Reminds me a lot of Union Square, San Francisco. Everything looks so high end. Including the expenses. High. Way high. But right when you exit the gate, it's the old, polluted, traffic-y, cheap-looking Manila. It's like waking up from a really nice dream on a Monday morning to go to work. Oh, right. I'm going to work tomorrow. Hay.

It's like a Guess photo. Only darker.
Ang Pag-himaraot
The Cursing. Sunday, 10/10/10. St. Joseph Cemetery. 20+ people, 4 hours, 1 camera man. Not a walk in the park. More like a walk in the cemetery. Literally. Honestly, it was difficult. The shoot started 2PM and we were running out of light. Fast.

The kids push the fallen fish into the baskets waiting at the side.
Gusto na Nakong Mo-uli
I wanna go home. This second set of photos were taken 9PM at night when the bigger boats come back from the sea with their catch. Madridejos, unlike Sta. Fe, is a fisherman's area, not really a tourist spot with lots of nice beaches. This is where my humble hard-working tatay comes from.

They're supposed to keep you from falling into the mini-creek.
Pagpasiyo sa Parke sa La Mesa
Strolling the La Mesa Park. Lots of trees and flowers. Didn't get to see the La Mesa Dam though because it was too hot to go up a hill on a staircase with no shade at 3PM in the sunny afternoon. What got me really interested is the statue of a man and woman riding the back of a giant land turtle. I have no idea what myth or story this is trying to tell but I like it. I've always been fond of fantasy stories of the old. :)

Kasal ni Sarah ug Richmond
Sarah and Richmond's Wedding. February 27, 2010.Alliance of Two Hearts Church, Banawa, Cebu. First wedding assignment I ever lead. Came up with great shots. I think. It's difficult to come up with good shots when you've never met the couple, the entourage isn't so keen with having me around taking pics and no photo shoot session was ever planned into the schedule. Talk about diving in head first. ^_^

Even our shadows like each other much ;)
Anino sa Pagpangga
Shadow of love. Valentine's day is just around the corner and I've just started going through all my old photos. Starting with ones I took using a Casio Exilim EX-P600. Great point and shoot, I tell you. These photos are taken back in April 2008. Our first anniversary that we spent in UPLB and a night a moonlit picnic at the UPLB soccer field while watching Enchanted on my laptop in the open fresh air. And yeah, we had a slice of cake to celebrate our first year together. It's full of cheese, just the way I like it. :P
