Welcome
Thanks for visiting my photostream and for expressing interest in my photos. I appreciate very much your comments, favourites, and constructive critisicms.

All photos in my photostream are taken by myself and are copyright protected.

I was privileged to be interviewed by the following magazines:

~ A Distinctive Style

~ Apogee Magazine

Things About Me

~ I am from the Philippines.

~ I am the youngest in a family of six.

~ My zodiac sign is “Taurus”

~ I was a music geek when I was in my teens. I play flute, guitar, keyboard, glockenspiel (lyre), drums, bandurria, octavina, kulintang, etc. without the need for reading notes. I was a Band member in Elementary and High school, and Rondalla in College.

~ I was also an art geek in my teens. When I was about 5, I coloured our house’s wall with crayons. Why? Coz water colour won’t stick on it. Lol!

~ I am boring when it comes to reading novels.

~ I started wearing prescription glasses after college.

~ I am an Electrical Engineer by profession.

~ I am a better and faster cook than my wife but it don’t mean my wife doesn’t cook well. She does in a very patient way!

~ My first DSLR was a Canon 400D which I got March 2008 when I was in Dublin, Ireland. My photography and soon my trademark became apparent when I moved to Brisbane, Australia where it became my canvass.

~ The first thing I (and my wife) bought upon arriving in Australia was a “Crocs” slipper. Why? Coz we can’t wear slippers in Ireland. Get my drift?

~ The first Flickr Photostream that I first laid my eyes upon was a self portrait artis and ‘til today her work still amazes me.

~ I like making my friends laugh. That’s my trade mark once you come to know me personally. And please don’t get offended by my comments on photos, it’s just the way I am.

~ I am a proud Pinoy Kodakero.

~ I have been planning to study how to drive until now, lol!

~ I bought my wife a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens to convince here into photography but soon after I found myself using it.
