creativity

February 2nd, 2010

there is nothing more challenging for us photographers to have a pictorial session while we feel burn-out, having heavy colds, cough and aching muscles. this was my condition last sunday. tried to manage to inspire myself by clicking the shutter here, there and everywhere for i need to pump my adrenaline before the actual pictorial session starts. honestly, i feel like am facing a ‘blank frame’ at the start, but with few clicks, i seem to fall into my ‘zone’ and slowly pictures are coming into the ‘blank frame’. now, if you’ll ask me how to explain this ‘process’, my answer is ‘i don’t really know’… maybe it is just about taking time, catch breath and take in the view around, and above all have fun in creating images in our own unique way.

northern samar visit

July 17th, 2009

am greatly honored to be part of the core group tasked to prepare a book for the centenary celebration of Diocese of Calbayog. the team is composed of writers, photographers and researchers. our first research and photo assignment was in northern samar, particularly the towns of catubig, palapag, laoang, catarman and capul. these places were considered to have the oldest churches in the north, erected during the first mission of the jesuits in samar island.

here are few of the images i created during our 3-day travel.
