tiangco-ocampo nuptials

Artist Manuel Ocampo and Pablo Gallery owner Osie Tiangco tied the knot last May 15, 2010. My good friend JC Bocaling and I were honored to be their official photographers on that special day.

A lot of drinking, good food, and awesome guests... Osie and Manuel, you guys rock! :D

samsung monitor

Paolo Ferrer and I received a Samsung PX2470 monitor each! Wooooot! :)

Had it for 2 weeks, road testing it... and I'm loving it!

I'm no techie but the crisp images and exact colors are very impressive. It's a far cry from my Mag monitor at work or the Sony Bravia TV-turned-monitor I used at home before. Samsung PX2470 has this amazing crystal frame technology that supposedly decreases glare --- we have half a dozen lamps in our condo and I can honestly say that the monitor has dropped down glare to zero! It makes editing photos and watching movies so much easier.

One of the things that impress me the most is it's adjustable neck. You can finally tilt the monitor to whatever angle you want --- no more adjusting your chair's height just to get the right working view. And from wherever corner you are (whether it's from above, below, or side), it delivers the same sharp images from every possible angle!

It's one very sexy beast at only 16.6mm thin! The 23" widescreen LCD-LED backlit monitor with it's sleek black design, a power button that turns on and off with the slightest feather-like touch, and elegant glass neck really rocks my boat. Poging-pogi! :)

I don't really know why I was chosen to receive one of the Samsung PX2470 monitors, but I'm absolutely grateful.

waiting for you

The location for this shoot was really dark, good thing the house had a huge window. I'm loving natural light and still drooling over the fine lingerie! :)

hot head

I'm not a fan of bulky and heavy lighting equipment, so for this fashion shoot I opted to use my newly purchased (very light and handy) ring flash. I love how the flash highlighted the model's caramel-colored skin!

loving anais nin

I'm loving Anais Nin's erotica right now! Getting inspired to do more personal projects on women's sexuality... will see if I can try shooting erotica too. :)

dirty finger

I was really excited to vote, this being my first elections and the first automated one in the country too! Woke up at 5:30am, arrived at the polling area at 6:30, cast my vote at 7:00, done by 7:15am. Damn proud to be part of this historical event! :)

Whoever wins in this election, I just hope they do our people and country good.
