Named after my mom Victorina and Glenn's lola Alejandra, with my patroness Mama Mary, she was named Ma. Via Alessandra.  Here's a montage of photos and videos put together by Glenn, whose inspiration is her beloved baby Sandy (who looks a lot like him, many have said).  When Sandy turned 1

From Youtube, what we see here is a man videoing a concert using a dslr which was zapped by a laserlight that eventually left a burn mark line on its sensor.   Much worse, your sensor might get not only one but many line marks once swept by these lasers multiple times. See the video below.

After a long day, nothing beats going home and seeing your kids' smiles. Those smiles are the best cure to a tired mind and soul... I thank God for giving me and Michele another inspiration in each day of struggle. Here's my little Sandy, celebrating her 3rd month birthday in a little photoshoot with a small birthday cake on the side. :) Camera:  Canon EOS 40D Lens:  Canon EF 50mm f.18 II

The past months have been very busy. So many things had happened and one of them is the coming of our newest angel last January 7, 2011 - another blessing from up above after 2 years. Unfortunately, it took me 2 months before I found the time to post a few of my shots here. So without further ado, let me introduce the newest member of my family -  my youngest daughter Ma.

It was Summer in 2009 when we had the very first Music Ministry sportsfest. And just like last year, the same aura of excitement was seen in the faces of the participants. Only, this year there were more participants, our venue was covered, the food was a little more heavy and the games became more challenging. The half-day activity was a good way to detox, have fun, and gain more friends in the

This youtube video shows us the importance of having a telephoto lens or the zoom capability of your digital camera particulary for this wildlife photography as we don't need to get really close to these wild animals just to get a decent shot. To my fellow photographers, be cautious and make sure you are on a safest zone when taking your shots.  Way too much risk will put you on the threat of

My 23Shutters photo buddies went on a photowalk last saturday in Binondo, Manila.  A place well-known for being populated mostly by Filipino-Chinese communities.  Binondo is located across the Pasig River from Intramuros and the home of Chinatown in Manila. The district is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants. Binondo is one of the

I was invited to be a backup photographer for FPPF photographer friends Gino, Warren and Jo (as the latter being the events coordinator too who did a really great job on spearheading the event). This event marked as my first time to cover in which i am part of the team.   The lovely lady Kristianne (nicknamed Yayan) turned 18 last Jan 31, 2009 and her adulthood was warmly welcomed by her family

I took a couple of shots of my trusty mobile phone and it is a  Nokia N73 which is one of my workhorse gadget.  I bought this with a hefty price because it was Nokia's flagship phone back then and acquiring this was not actually planned but i was forced to replace it the same day i lost my four-month old Nokia N70 and dwelling on its loss is unacceptable. I had to buy myself a replacement!

I have these set from our FPPF advanced photography class last year.  I was determined to make it to the Top 5, but competition was so tight I missed the 5th place by just 0.02%.  Nonetheless, I was proud of my output, that's why I wanted to share them with you.

Jan 22 was quite an emotional day for us because that day when my sister and her family (Lanie, Aris, Arissa and Schierra) flew back to US after their almost 2 months vacation (almost a month with Aris as he arrived last Dec 31) here with us.  Those 2 months are so fast it was just like only a couple of weeks for us.

Luckily, one of our CPC member Junn (i usually call him "master Junn G") got a replacement before we decided to call it the day.  Here are some of my shots on our photoshoot!  Hope you like them.

Before being referred to as the icon of democracy, Cory was first an obedient daughter, a good sister, a wonderful wife, and a loving mom. Just like us, she too had dreams, her own set of fears, unanswered prayers, failures, joys and sorrows.

Kiddie parties are the best for me. Capturing kids’ smiles and candid moves are so much fun. I don’t have to ask them to pose and make sure they look nice because they do look nice in the first place. Rome and Venice Ponco (Dave’s kids – my officemate) are two wonderful kids.
