In the back of my mind I was screaming for an opportunity to catch the last sunset of 2015. I was so desperate that I was willing to drive as far as an hour away from Baguio to get to a good spot. My mom was with me, though, and we had other priorities.With reluctance,... Continue Reading →

This was taken on the other side of the road from the Sison stopover. I remember feeling seriously groggy and just bad all over during this trip... I felt so bad that I didn't mind if the sun shone on me while I was in the window seat on the final hour to Baguio. As... Continue Reading →

Love From The Skies Over TPLEXA few minutes ago I got out of bed, did my morning tinkle, and drank 2 glasses of water. Then I put a pot of water on the stove for my bath.Someone somewhere pointed out the importance of having a solid set of morning and evening rituals. A little discipline... Continue Reading →

But there are those times that you enjoy the heat and the hassle. I have a choice. I could see this... Continue Reading →

More people meant more cars and more pollution.While it's easy for us to think that, I believe we would have a greater degree... Continue Reading →

This was shot a few hours ago over at the lonely circumferential road connecting Marcos Highway to Ciudad Grande, Bakakeng. It's the first Fuji RAW I ever edited and I used Silkypix (provided on their website) to do it. The interface leaves much to be desired, but the results are not too shabby.  "When I...

So last Sunday I took on the most speaking arrangements I had in a day. There was the discussion and introduction to Basic Photography, and then two Sermons on the title, 'Overcoming the Spirit of Poverty'. If you count the two times I was assigned to lead worship, then that all adds up to 5... Continue Reading →

Manong Kurt told me to help out in this year's Lessons and Carols by taking pictures of the event. It's during times like these when I miss focal lengths greater than 55mm.
