    Over the course of the past two months or so, I’ve been following the release of the Fujifilm X-T3 in the international scene. I waited for YouTube videos to come out as media events are held in the US and the UK. I checked written first impressions and short reviews of the camera. And as…

    Landscape photography has always been my first love. It’s the first genre of photography that I grew up on and became known by. I remember the years that there were only three of us in our photo community here in Davao that seriously did landscape photography. We were the only three who’d regularly be up…

    When I started to dive deeper into the world of photography back in 2008, I was instantly drawn into landscape photography. There was something about capturing the beauty of the world around us.

    Last weekend, I joined a photowalk here in Davao City as part of the annual Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. It’s been a while since i actually joined one. A while being about 5 years (I think). Anyway, I felt like a fish out of the water since I haven’t been on photowalks and I, honestly,…

    Lately, I’ve been finding myself trudging back to my old passion for photography. And these days, I’ve somehow been bitten by the timelapse and, more significantly, hyperlapse, photography. The former being a sequence of photographs from a static point of view. The latter being a sequence of photographs in which the position of the camera…

    About a couple of months ago, my friend Gian of Giantimages Studio to a pre-debut shoot at Buda and Brgy. Salumay. It was a welcome invitation considering that I haven’t gone on a photoshoot for quite a while. I haven’t even been doing landscape shoots. So off we went. The shoot was for Clarose. She was pensive…

    A long weekend was coming up because of the Chinese New Year so we rushed to do a road trip. We’ve been to Mati City so many times already so we thought we’d go further up the road to Manay. We called ate Jojie and got her to come with us because she’s from there.…
