Lisa and Nelson were THE photographer’s perfect couple for a prenup!
Obviously fun-loving, carefree and full of zest for life, Lisa and Nelson breezed through our shoot effortlessly.
They’re a natural!
And like what the priest said during homily, “Marriage in the Philippines is forever” – I bet they’re gonna be.
As in forever forever.
Here’s the on-site slideshow we made and presented during the couple’s wedding reception…
Our daughter has this online store called TNMK. Short for Tindahan ni Mana Kordapya.
She had new clothing items to sell. And with models wearing them, we decided to go out and shoot on-location. 
Classic, major decision-making.
Nelson, a US Marine of El Salvador descent, finally pops the question to Lisa, a Taclobanon.
I was nursing my first cup of coffee for the day (it will number anywhere from 4 to 8 cups) at our house balcony early this morning when I was startled by what sounded like bickering birds, feasting over ripe chico fruits meters away.
I hurriedly got my camera and ever so quietly tried to slip back nonchalantly to my coffee and smoke, trying my best to appear unmindful of the birds at all. See, I’m enjoying my coffee! Go eat your breakfast! was what I tried to project to the birds.
After getting used to my presence, they went back at it and I very slowly took aim and fired away.
It was a pleasant morning surprise, a great way to start a brand new day!
Here’s a shoot we did of Arbee & Gale Delgado, identical twins, on JS Prom Night recently.
They both look stunning.
And the view is awesome as well, isn’t it?
Location: Ernie Yu’s wharf, San Jose, Tacloban City, Philippines.

I know we have covered what seems like thousands of sunrises and sunsets. For photography buffs, however, this time of day is part of what’s called “the golden hour” where the sun’s soft golden light offers the opportunity to create beautiful, scenic photographs.
The only problem with covering sunrises is that one has to be up early than your usual waking up hour. And in case you are going to shoot not at your usual place but a little further down south, then you factor in your travel time.
Such was the case last Monday, February 22, 2010 when members of the Litratista Group & Camera Club od Leyte & Samar (CCLS) decided to take up a member’s invitation to shoot at his new area of assignment. Fr. Rey Caraballa’s new assignment was at Telegrafo, Tolosa, Leyte – about 30 minutes drive south from Tacloban City.
I woke up at 3:30AM (assembly time was at 4:15AM). And by 4:40AM, we were on the road…
Let the photos speak for themselves…
Fishermen take off to do net fishing locally called, “aghid” where a net is laid out in the water in a letter-U fashion with each end of the net pulled back up to shore by participating locals.

We had a chance to revisit Baybayon ni Agalon early on this February when the wifey had to attend a meeting at the Albuera resort.
Albuera is the town next to Ormoc City – about 2 1/2 hours drive from Tacloban City. It was a respite from the regular routine – great opportunity to drive out of town and take some photos of the place again. (See my earlier posts on Baybayon ni Agalon’s inauguration – Part I and Part II.)
It was a perfect prelude to a summer getaway…
… and a perfect break to re-bond with a drinking buddy! (Photo above by Katrina Ruiz-Banzon)

Portraiture photography naman kita hehe…
Well, we had a chance to do some portraiture shots last Valentine’s Day while waiting for the formal launch of the 1st Tacloban Sky Lantern Festival at Balyuan Grounds, Tacloban City.
Would like to say big thanks to our models Maelyn Que and Kate Sia Que who had to put up with us and go through the routine (w/ a matching thunderstorm to boot which got us drenched in no time) at the small pier at Balyuan last Sunday…
It was fun!
