This was taken from the gondola that took us to the top of one of the mountains overlooking Vail, and the glass I needed to shoot through gave this shot some extra blur. Couldn't complain though; the shot looked nice when I played with it as I converted it to black and white. I liken... Continue Reading →
[jb.redeemed] Test Post 1 – Well Fueled Soon Consumed (Baguio ’11)

Checkpoint 5
I call this 'The Slaughterhouse, Revisited'; This shot started off as DSC_3985.NEF, but this wasn't the first place I posted it; It was number 12 in my abandoned 365 project last year, 2011. How unfortunate for me to forget that Flickr only allows me to show only 200 of the most recently uploaded photos on... Continue Reading →
Beyond ‘Crackers And Cheese’ – A Testimony
"Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!"- Psalm 105:1Before I was assigned to be a pastor, I thought that public speaking was pretty easy for me. I mean, I enjoyed that subject so much during college that I took it twice - that's because I... Continue Reading →
Sample 50 – Curtain of Light (Colorado ’08) (2)
...So you probably noticed the color of the skies in both shots are different - when I ran the second photo through Photomatix, it applied Tone Mapping settings I used for a previous shot, and... well, I kind of liked it looking a little warmer. If I made it look more natural, I'm thinking that... Continue Reading →
Sample 49 – No Longer Just Wallpaper (Arizona ’10)
I'll have to admit, we weren't in the Canyon at the best time of the day, but who was I to complain? Shooting in the Grand Canyon was a great experience, and an absolute blessing! The colors in this shot may be a bit too saturated for some, but there's more from this shoot to... Continue Reading →
Sample 48 – In And Around The Oven
'The Oven' - Metrodorm, Ortigas Home Depot. Nah, I'm overreacting. It isn't too hot inside here, long as the fans work. May I add that it's been a while since I used an HDR combined using JPEG files. It still looked pretty good in my opinion. This shot was partially inspired by Trey Ratcliff's piece... Continue Reading →
Checkpoint 4.75
Fontana Resort, Clark Field, Pampanga. A beautiful place with trees which exude power and wisdom. They may not have fruit (not in my observation, at least) but they do wonderful in providing shade from the lowland sun. As we are moving towards expressing the promises of God through the photography shown on this page, one... Continue Reading →
in The House.
"In a way, we are all like houses, and Jesus Christ is just outside, wanting to come in. He won't force His way in. We need to let Him in. Some of us are happy with Him just outside the door - we open the door and ask Him for help every now and then.... Continue Reading →
Sample 47.5 – Half Baked (La Trinidad, ’12)
"Michael, I did nothing."- Peter Gibbons to Michael Bolton in the beautiful movie, Office SpaceI call this Sample 'Half Baked' because, unfortunately, I'm really just posting to fill this day's slot. God forgive me for not really working and walking with Him today. I must admit that I was pretty selfish today - though He... Continue Reading →
