  • Hello X-T3, X-T100!

    Hello X-T3, X-T100!

    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…

  • A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 5

    A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 5

    It was another lazy day on the northern shores of Siargao. The wind was steady and the sun was out. After having breakfast we decided to motor out and visit the famous and oft-photographed Magpupungko tidal pools. It was just a quick 10-minute motorbike ride from the resort we were in. There was ample parking…

    A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 4

    Vacation. Lazy. Day. That’s how I’d properly describe our fourth day in paradise. Lazy. Day. We woke up late. After a quick breakfast composed of eggs, bacon, and sausages with a slice of bread on the side, we just dozed off by the beach doing nothing. Nothing but looking out into these views. No lunch…

    A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 3

    On the third day of Christmas… oh wait… Rewind. On the third of the Siargao trip, we checked out of our Airbnb. This was the day we’re headed to Pacifico in the town of San Isidro. Change of scenery. Nothing against GL really but a respite into a quieter side of Siargao is more than…

    A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 2

    Rise & shine! We woke up early on the second day for aquick breakfast at a cafe in Cloud 9. Gotta get that dose of caffeine before heading out for the tri-island tour for the rest of the day. So, there we were at Cloud 9 at around half past 7 in the morningat Cafe…

  • A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 1

    A Paradise Called Siargao: Day 1

    About a couple of months ago, April and I traveled by plane to Siargao. It’s about an hour of flight time from Davao to Siargao via Philippine Airlines’ Bombardier Q400 service. It’s a pleasant flight. And if you’re not that used to flying in a smaller plane, it may feel a bit queasy at first. You…

  • Chasing Light

    Chasing Light

    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…

  • Sta. Ana Wharf: A Revisiting

    Sta. Ana Wharf: A Revisiting

    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. In Davao, one of the go-to sites for a sunrise landscape photoshoot is the Sta. Ana Wharf. Naturally, I had to go…

  • The Storytellers

    The Storytellers

    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,…

  • Timelapse

    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…
