action!

friday of holy week, 2pm when the sun shone brightest, our minds wandered and wondered for the best thing to do and for the best place to go on that "holy" day. airport beach, being the nearest, was were we found ourselves. (i believe tho that Jesus is no longer dead, nor will ever die again, nor is dying on a friday. once and for all, he had been resurrected and made true his promise that "it is finished". and so we blasted and burned.)

above photos may have been perfect for me had it not been for the ISO which was set at 1600! i simply forgot to adjust it after a shoot of the stars a night before. (bottom photo was taken by toto)

sunset colors

reposted. different colors of sunset in manila bay (jaw dropped).

blues

amphitheater in balyuan, tacloban city. used to be a tower by the sea. (maybe this was where trading and barter happened long time ago?)

silhouette and sunrise

after a lonely night, a sunrise. woke up at 3:30am, walked out and a photoshoot of sunrise in leyte park.

silhouette and sunset

a friend from manila came by. serving as his tourist guide/photographer, i invited him to a photoshoot of sunset in mcarthur park. this is what we got. sunset seems to be my favorite subject.

location shoot: blanca aurora falls

falls is located in san jorge, samar. this falls offers a wide, safe and pristine swimming area - that's why it never fails to fascinate me everytime i visit. with my very true friends, the fun is never ending...(thanks to guil for hosting - plus the food)

allaboutgemz.2

(from top photo) in city hall, my office area (mayda ngayan mahusay nga lugar ha office - gemma said she thought like it is in a foreign land. huh?), in balyuan wharf, and hagdanan han viewing deck ha office area (million-peso project daw ito han govt)

allaboutgemz.1

the only bday request i heard from her was a shawarma in dynasty square. off we went to the "mall" on a saturday only to find out it was closed. we ended up eating pizza in shakeys and a cake celebration at home. gemma had her share of cooking - a tasteful mixed vegetables and sinigang na shell.

photoshoot with gemz

since 2 months old, she was with us. when she reached her teens, she was with me. now she is 21. i have been a father to this one wonderful godly-lady for 21 years. on her big day, we decided to have a photoshoot all around tacloban. in balyuan, dynasty, port area and baluarte (the last one taken on a different day)
