Kyrgyzstan 2010
Kyrgyzstan.
I went to this country that used to be part of the USSR for a mission trip. It was a great experience. I met a lot of new people. Experiencing different cultures and interacting with their customs were the highlight of my immersion. But, the greatest highlight of the ordeal was that, it’s never about us. It’s about sharing who Jesus is to those people who are longing for real relationships. I couldn’t put into words the measure of grace that was given to us, especially myself.

Macau 2008
This was when things were unclear with me. I have tons of questions about life, love, and purpose. I was looking at the horizon and at the buildings in front of me, thinking of nothing but her. And, it was void. I couldn’t pin point anything absolute and certain. I knew at that point, that it was time to move on and forward. I’ve been to Macau a couple of time because it somehow became a place where I just want to get some “fresh air”. A place I’ve grown familiar with, yet I feel so foreign.

A Love Not There
Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

This photo was a self portrait when I went to Macau. I really love negative spaces.

New York 2009
Mario Babic Shoot
I went to New York, Fall (almost Winter) of 2009. It was fortunate that a friend of mine was there who was, at the time, doing some casting calls and modeling. I asked if we could do a shoot and he gladly obliged. Thanks Mario. This was a year-ender trip for me for 2009.
On this photo, the subway was an interesting backdrop because of the unassuming dynamism of how the landscape of people changes so fast. Most people there don’t care at all that we’re doing a photoshoot. It’s one of those things, as a photographer, that I like. There were no guards who’d approach you and say it’s forbidden to take photos kind of crappy reason.

Chicago 2009
Michael Jordan Pose in front of United Center, Chicago.
My friends and I drove downtown to see and checkout the United Center and have some photo ops with the MJ statue. If you would have the chance to go here and if you’re a man, this is one of the things you should do.

Serenity:
Probably, this will be the most that I will miss about Chicago when I return to the Philippines. I really had a very relaxed time here. Though, it’s freaking cold, it just complements my mood.
This was taken at the place of my father’s friend somewhere.
