Cops & Robbers

When your faced with a life and death situation, you first run. When that fails, you fight. You hide. You dodge bullets. You fire back. And you win. And after that, only after that, do you luxuriously spend a few seconds to breath.

Out of Bullets

When you're in a gunfight, the two things you can never run out of are your wits and your bullets. Without one, just hope that you have luck.

Hershey's Happiness

My entry for the Hershey's Happiness contest in 2005. It may not have won, but at least it got displayed at the voting booths. Besides, I still like the picture.

Shuzenji

After travelling for 3 hours, we found ourselves doing a glamour shot by the icy-cold waters of the river in Shuzenji. Normally, people don't wear yukatas in winter, but if the imagination calls for it, we're out there doing it. Shot for Project Victory.

Portraits

MCR

I'm a big fan of My Chemical Romance. And it would be a shame if, after I did my hair almost like Gerard's, I didn't do a self-portrait in my MCR shirt.

Having a Zen Moment

On a rocky crag, in a serene beach, with tranquil waters and lullaby winds, one could escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday city living.

Landscapes

Mountains at Pundaquit Beach

As you look out into the sea at a beautiful summer sunset, one would be forgiven to miss the beautiful play of light and shadow through the clouds, there just behind them, sitting quite patiently for the occational audience.

Rocks In The Twilight of Manila Bay

Ive been asked countless times where I took this picture, and the reaction to my response would always be the same astonished, wide-eyed look. We may not be able to go on wildlife safaris here in the Philippines, but neither do you have to go far to take beautiful images. Some of them are right under your nose, waiting to be discovered by the minds eye.

Tranquility

The cool and shade of the lush, green vegetation, the wide and white sands of the beach of Dos Palmas, the calm and aqua expanse of the sea beside it, and the rolling blue clouds playing in the wind that this picture can never convey, all combine to create the tranquility of it all.

On my first butterfly expedition, I had the honor of being accompanied by butterfly conservationist Lydia Robledo as I took photos of these Pierids.

Coconuts

Huddled together in a remote place, far from the beaches more commonly trampled on, lie a formation of coconuts devoid of any life, yet strangely calling out for your attention.

Candles

Blackouts, while generally inconvenient, provide a certain calm and quiet not heard normally in a town or metropolis. But with the howling winds of Typhoon Millenio, the soft glow of candlelight provides a perfect atmosphere for reflection.

Fireman

This fireman walks non-chalantly away from the scene, perhaps weary after a foray with fire. Perhaps relieved by other fighters just arriving at the scene. Perhaps.

Item 1 Title thumbnail of Item 1 Title

Chief

One of many firechiefs at the scene coordinating their efforts via radios. His wrinkled features and deep-set eyes foretelling the gravity of the situation at hand.

More Than Worldly Wealth

There are some things money can't buy. While others scramble for their television sets, this woman carries her pet dog, a mongrel by breeding, as though it was as delicate as a poodle.

Cellphone

In the midst of fire, with houses burning everywhere around and firefighters battling it, a man types in his cellphone a text message.
