First Light 2020
I don’t normally celebrate holidays the usual way, if anything I’d rather spend it on either resting, doing something productive or taking photographs of scenes that I encounter. I prefer a stress free day, specially when you’ve been through the wedding season with continuous days of shooting, less sleep and long days. Every Year I start it with shooting the First Sunrise. It has … Continue reading First Light 2020

Although we were not able to take … Continue reading A Quick Stay at Baleh Boble Guest House

This years Panagbenga 2019 was a realization for me. If you have covered this event for a couple of times now you’ll be bound to try something new at one point.

Taking a chance at Kiltepan Peak
Haven’t written anything for a while or the more correct term is I haven’t finished writing the other things I wanted to share.

Panagbenga Night Scenes 2018
I had the urge to go out and enjoy the Panagbenga night scene just before the festivities end. It can be daunting going around in Baguio alone, specially with a camera set up to shoot some long exposures. I just had to satisfy my urge.
