Theme Shoots
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.
Enoshima
This is Philip covering the afternoon sun and posing for the cover shot of Project Victory.
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.
Yellow Kayak
A day at the beach, with the sand, the sun, the seas, your friends, a kayak, and practically nothing else!
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.

Ruthy At The Beach
Ruthy, the daughter of a good friend of mine, plays poses innocently for the camera
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.
Piano
Lit only by candlelight, the haunting melody of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata echoes through the halls...
Black and White
...clothed in dark, gothic-lolita fashion in a bright, marble-floored room.
Apartment Complex
Around Sagami-Ono was an apartment complex that was beautifully lit with its hallway lights, and not a single dead lightbulb! Shot for Project Victory.
People
Children
Two children playing with some water bottles oblivious to the workers around who continue building houses. Innocence and simplicty found only in youth.
Comics
There's nothing like laying back on a lazy weekend afternoon with a good [comic] book in hand.
Underwater
Screaming silently.
Sunset
Today is almost gone. Tomorrow's another day, to live and to breathe.
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.
Cottages
Dos Palmas
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.
Warm Horizon

Water Tower in the Prairie
This lone water tower stands solitary among its company of low bushes in the land of Tagaytay
Silver
"Slowly, silently, now the moon / Walks the night in her silver shoon; / This way, and that, she peers, and sees / Silver fruit upon silver trees..." - Walter de la Mare
Nature
Having Breakfast
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.

Sanctuarium
The Sanctuarium. A massive structure where bodies are cremated and stored. Beside the bustling city street, how is a soul supposed to rest?
The Rat Race
Jampacked streets and crowded sidewalks? It's part of everyday life in the Makati Central Business District.

Stills
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.

Photo Stories
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.
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.
Breather
A sweaty fireman takes a moment to look up amidst the chaos of the scene. What is he looking at? Why, the man with the cellphone of course!
