met Crystle for the first time yesterday before the halloween shoot. Deniece and Rin brought her along. she hasn't really modeled before but you wouldn't know it by her openness and her drive to get the best photo we can.


i hope to shoot more of Crystle.

Ms. Guam contestant, Rika. she's gone and grown up quite a long way since i've met her. funny, charming and beautiful.

Canon 60D

new camera available now from Canon. same family as the 7d and 550D using the same sensor.

the difference being that, the 7D utilizes double processors to enable it to shoot at very fast frame rates(8fps) while the 60D can shoot in 5.3fps.

besides video and the variable tilting screen i don't really see anything special. i think for now the, 50D is still the better option.

Rika and her lips and her sexy curves. enough to draw a crowd while we shot this in Tumon bay.
it was a nice shoot.

thinking of the old days living back in Philippines. the simple life in a very small town.
this reminds me of how it used to be..

i remember back in the college days hangin with friends at the UOG study hall. there was this young woman sitting on the bench under the tree the kind many people wouldn't think to be beautiful by today's tv standards.
one day a guy comes up and starts to talk to her and after a while they start to date.

many people today it seems are becoming shallower and shallower but a "beauty" who can't find a decent man vs. a "not beauty" who can... what does it say about our society?

Natsha is quite the hottie. i guess more of a subtle kind of hottie.
this shoot turned out very well.

manila traffic

last time i was in manila. my friend i hung out with my friend, Karen. we went to visit other friends and went sightseeing- lots of eating.

it was a great time.

this is Manila traffic. total chaos if you are coming from driving in the states but in manila there's a method to this chaos and its understood.
hardly any accidents.

Darelle posed for my photographer buddy, Lewis and i yesterday at the Plaza de Espana in agana. i thought it was idead to shoot when the sun was about to set and the buildings nearby blocking it out so we can get even lighting.
the shoot turned out really well.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

may17

i thin i am coming up with a cold. busy day at work this morning exacerbated by the rain that i got soaked in doing stuff above and beyond whats called of me. if they only knew, eh?

have some photo projects i have to get done. well, photography is done but the editing, the editing i have been putting off. i need to get around to it and just finish it.

Lightroom has been working very well for me though i need a faster laptop to fully utilize its capabilities.

have a few checks i need to cash from other jobs. i just have to get around to getting to the bank. tomorrow i guess, its my days off and bills are due... coincidence? ha!

sunset in paradise

its a shame that people usually miss Guam's sunset after they leave. enjoy.

may10 2010

i've been experimenting with light streaks again. i used to do this a lot when i shot with my G5 all the time. now that i have a 10-22 lens. its super wide enough to capture great motion.







also some hdr's but subtle. i like to process it the way the eye would have seen the view.

almost half of march

almost half of march,wow! it seems like the days are going fast! seems like the year just started.

spoke to my boss about my upcoming vacation. he said it was okay but won't let me go for more than two weeks and i was thinking 3 weeks at the least, hmm.. one week in the province and one week in Manila? will have to resolve this soon, april is just around the corner.

last night, fellow photographers and i went to club Karisma to check out, the Mocha Girls. i didn't know much about them until i saw their performance and met them in person. very nice and very sexy ladies. Mocha, the leader of the group. very sexy and very controversial(at least for Philippines standards- as driven by the media).
Still the show was nice. the ladies were nice.

sunset lovers

a couple walked and stood in front of my view as i was composing a sunset shot. i think the added to the scene.

Guam beauty

Kara and i met a year or two prior to this shoot. we talked about the kind of shoot we'd do and other nuances of the overall experience.
after that meeting i didn't see her again until we did this shoot. the shoot started out kinda "cold", meaning we were getting comfortable with the scene with the situation but after a few moments we warmed up and made some great photos.
