Project Aninag
Students of Taloy Norte Elementary school show of the photos taken and donated by the Baguio Photographers Club.
Pretty much everyone has had their photograph taken by someone at least once in their lives. It may be from a family portrait, from their graduation, or wedding. With the growth of digital photography and the influx of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, it is almost absolute that everyone has their own portrait. Well… almost.

Mark & Rowi
Mark and Rowi
I don’t shoot weddings nowadays, but could easily make an exception when two of my good friends are getting married. Mark is actually my shooting buddy and a really good friend since college, and his wife, Rowi was also our classmate in college and I was actually with Mark back when he was still courting her. Here are some photos I took during their prenup in Sagada and their postnup in San Fabian. More pictures of those places would be posted here soon.

ylocos Photo Exhibit
ylocos Photo Exhibit Poster
I’m inviting everyone to check out our on-going exhibit at the Baguio Palace Hotel. The following text is by Mr. Lino Tabangin:
Ylocos
“Thrift is not an affair of the pocket, but an affair of character. “ ~S.W. Straus
A region nestled in the northern part of the country bounded by the China Sea and the Cordillera Mountain Ranges have deprived the Ilocanos of valuable lands for agriculture. However, as characterized by rich culture and perseverance, Ilocos have spawned into one of the Philippines’ richer provinces. Rich cultural history may have been one of the Ilocos’ crowns of glory portraying the Old Spanish lifestyle and architecture. The Old churches of the Ilocos-the Philippines’ pride akin to the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Old Spanish Houses and the Ilocano Cuisine can really captivate anyone’s heart of awe and beauty.
In this photographic art gallery, the Baguio Photographers’ Club depicts Ilocos’ character through its beautiful historical sights, natural spectacles and rich culture that makes Ilocos unique and distinct.
Ylocos….an affair of Character.

Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
A 30-second exposure of the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation in Burgos, Ilocos Norte.
The Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is located in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, and is about an hour and a half away from Laoag. Our group travelled from Laoag via van then met up with a guide at Burgos’ town proper before heading to the rock formations.
I was really excited to see the place since I’ve only recently heard about it and only seen pictures of it online. I had no idea how it would look like in real life and what else to expect. I initially thought that we would just shoot there for a while then probably move to another place in Ilocos Norte to shoot again. Upon arriving, the weather wasn’t that great and the wind was really blowing hard, with the waves smashing on the rocks. It was awesome. I then knew that we were gonna shoot there all day.

Farewell, 2011!
Another year has gone by and I am continually thankful for all the Blessings that I have received. Thank you also to everyone that’s made a bump in my life. See you next year!

The Edralins, Part 2
Fisheye portraits of The Edralins.
A few weeks ago, The Edralins helped us (Baguio Photographers Club) during our anniversary and halloween party by performing during our event. As a way of thanking them, I organized a shoot to add to their portfolio. I already shot them before so I wanted to do something totally different by using a fisheye lens. I thought that the effect of the lens could reflect the band’s extremely quirky personality.

My photo in one of NASA’s Websites
A screenshot of the NASA's Precipitation Measurement Missions website.
A few months ago, I was contacted by one of NASA’s employees asking permission to use one of my photos for their website and to help them in the study of precipitation and how it effects landslides. I did a google search of my name a few days ago (vain, I know) and finally found where they used it.
