On Weddings!

You probably know that I have been doing wedding photography these past few moths and I must admit I do really like it. Capturing moments is the key to a perfect shot and I have gotten quite a number of them already. Making the client happy is tantamount to the success of your shoot because no matter how you think that your shots are good, it is their word that will be the final say. Making preparations for the church, the program, the entourage and giving out wedding invitations starts how everything will fall into place. From shooting the suit, the dress and rings it sort of shows how a theme for the set will look like. Thinking how you will present the package is how the game starts.

Let me show you some of the shots I made for a client. These are some of the set we did for wedding portraits. I really like the ambiance in the ORCHIDARIUM we shot this in. I thought of playing with strobes and lights on this set because it has that mysterious impact. I like the swirls of light I put in after post processing because obviously it made the image more magical. I can even attest that these are good for magazines if the time comes. That would definitely be a big break if someone can arrange this for me. Does this work?!

Let me know what you think!

The Good and the Bad

A good man Press Secretary Cerge Remonde this morning was all over broadcast TV because he had a heart attack. He is the spokesperson of sorts of current President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo but he never threw ill fated words to the opposition no matter how harsh they were. Unfortunately around 11:15 AM another news update indicated he already passed away. At the midst of all the political bruhahah in the Philippines, everyone still had remorse over his passing. It looks like there is still hope for Pinoys. I mean I am a good guy too but there are some who do not know what is right and wrong for this country. I hope everyone becomes educated enough to choose the best President come May of this year. Sometimes we can't do anything about it but just HOPE.




The bad, Jason Ivler who everyone thought was outside of the country after killing a guy over a traffic altercation in EDSA was raided 2 days ago in their house in Quezon City. I know he, his Mom and Dad go to the same gym I go to every morning and they are quite distinct because of how they look like. Let's just say they are quite eclectic. Jason is clad with tattoos all over his body, his mom is so tan and usually wears bohemian skirts to gym and his dad looks like Einstein. So you get the picture? Everyone is eagerly waiting what will happen to him since he is still in the ICU but handcuffed to his own bed. I know since he shot an NBI agent probably the whole NBI forces are there guarding the doors. His Mom on the other hand just got out of jail because she was charged with obstruction of justice. She kept Jason in the basement the whole time they were looking for him. Imagine that!

Bless Cerge Remondes' soul and I hope Jason gets whatever is meant for him. I have a few friends who has this big crush on him btw, now that is weird!

The Things You Need to Save Water

Here is a shot I took in the LAMESA watershed.

I am really sad that the government has gone into the extent of warning people from the metro about saving potable water in the coming summer. Since it would be doubly hot and we would not be able to get rain from any source other than the storms which seldom happens at that time of the year; we would need to do whatever it takes to be able to survive that weather. I am keen on getting swppp services because of the things that they boast of. They have veterans in the Civil Engineering sector which is close to my heart since my own Grandfather worked for the Engineering Brigade for USAFE in World War II. They will help getting more water back to the reservoir since we really need it.

Seeing these men in action brings back memories; they come crashing onto you too when you least expect it. I maybe a Computer Engineer by profession but I also use software they heavily implement in their firm like Civil 3D and Photo shop which makes designing and getting the structure of the house, a cinch! World renowned industry experts and business managers would make you feel that your project is not a chore when you get to build yourself your own dream home. They can even prevent getting that crummy little dirt around storm drains come rainy season in June. If you get plans as big as this, you really need all the help you can get!

Bon Voyage My Bro!

It is already time for him to go. After 5 long years of not stepping foot in this native land he is going back to Ireland again to work and probably get a new job. He probably misses us a lot and he will probably be doing the same come tomorrow. He visited a lot of relatives, spent the whole Christmas season and New Year here, gone to various islands in the Visayas region and spend some needed me time in the south of Manila. It was good to have rest and recreation enjoyed with friends and family I know. That is one of the few things in life that you would treat as priceless!

It is hard that he had to go out of the country just to work; that is what he chose to do with his life so we only can support him. Anyway, he is sporting dual citizenship so he can probably stay here on a longer period anytime. Even if he is an Irish citizen he still has Filipino blood so you can imagine the next time he comes back here, there would probably be more changes around the metro that he would not be able to see and feel but I am optimistic he will come back soon. Stay cool and stay focused on your career there and we will just be here to support you. I have no choice LOL you are my brother after all!

Take good care of yourself and Cheers!
