AMiCUS folks, can we do another one next year?

November 26, 2009

Spent the weekend in Tagaytay City with my old college buddies plus a whole bunch of students- like more than a hundred of them! This was an AMiCUS Convention by the way. The first of its kind after FIVE years! I got to take a huge amount of photos to cover the event but I’m posting only two. Why oh why?

*grin*

Ayt! That’s two photos. Find the rest at FB while I hide under my mouse hole. Way to go AMiCUS! God bless y’all!

Pacquiao is an All-time Great!

November 18, 2009

Way back in high school, I was around 14 then, there was this weekly boxing show on TV called “Blow by Blow” that showcased young and upcoming local boxers. There was this skinny kid I always look forward to watching. With his devil-may-care approach with zero technique, almost all his opponents simply kissed the canvas with his power bombs. Iwas like “What th- this kid is bad ass!” He was a bundle of energy, fun to watch… I never knew how far this kid would go.

His name was Manny Pacquiao.

Jinoe and Quennie :: Engagement Shoot

November 17, 2009

I flew south of Manila to Bacolod to attend Jinoe and Que’s wedding. Under the smoldering heat of the sun we managed to take a bunch of great shots for their prenups. But then I realized that TAKBO.PH‘s first couple must be no stranger to the heat on the road. I just wonder if making PDA in front of my lens is much more taskful than running a 21K .

Location: Pontevedra, Negros Occidental and La Carlotta City.

Quick portraits for Cel

November 17, 2009

Cel has been nagging me time and again for me to take photos of her. It’s been some time since we last set a schedule for a pictorial. Okay… okay… she wants a new profile photo for her Facebook account real bad.

I obliged.

“The BAND”

November 17, 2009

At least that’s how they want their group called. These four dudes just stood there and asked if they can be shot like they were a rock band or something (boy band maybe? I don’t know). Too bad I didn’t have even a single speedlight with me. What a bummer. I had to make do with those lights similar to those you see in an outdoor basketball court, plus Photoshop, Photoshop and Photoshop!
