Well shutterbugs, I'm logged back in here after having not visited for months (close to half a year, if not over that, i think). So I hope you'll all forgive me for posting a whole buncha pics to feast your eyes on (hey... I probably won't be posting again in a while anyways). So, all I can say is that it's good to be sharing again. So enough of the talk and on to the photographs. I've catergorized them into...
Portraits of the self and of friends:
Popup LinkJordan - New Avatar
Popup LinkJordan - Vanity Shot Portrait
Popup LinkCatzie - Space Cadet Portrait Popup LinkChi and Kitz
Popup LinkJaymond and Aira
Popup LinkJef, "The Dragon", Tan
Popup LinkShing and Bor Passed Out
Popup LinkShing - Hammock Shot
Popup LinkMara Sleep
Popup LinkRaymond Bagatsing - Portrait

Also did Cinematography work some months back for an indipendent, full-length film entitled "Lambanog". Here are my studio-snaps of the cast:
Popup LinkCJ - Studio
Popup LinkLawrence - Studio
Popup LinkJohn Lapuz - Studio
Popup LinkPaulo - Studio

Howsabout checking out some of my random  urban shots?!?:
Popup LinkBurrrrnnnn

Popup LinkLost Souls At 5pm

Every once in a while, I like to take trips into one of the many slum areas that are quite numerous in Metro Manila. Here, people have a world and way of living of their own:
Popup LinkInto The Shantis

    Saw you go by in the corner shots recently and wondered where you'd gone. Nice to see your work again.

    Very nice... Hard to pick a favorite, but I think it would be Madonna and Child. Also, your studio shots were awesome. I'm new and I've never seen your work, but I'm glad you are back. Would love to see more.

    Awww... Jeez people, it sure is nice to be getting feedback again. Thanks for all your warm welcome-backs and hollers. Wouldn't really know if I'm shooting more or less these days. I only know that I'm still shooting. My girlfriend (who is quite a mean shot herself) says that I "love my light", and that's what comes through in my photographs. As oppossed to her habit of giving more emphasis to "framing". Hmn... I wouldn't know really... I guess it's because it's become second nature for me to frame almost quite instantly and snap (ka-chik!!!). One this IS certain though, I sure DO love my LIGHT! :) It could really make a big difference in whatever you're photographing. If the light is great natrurally, I strive to capture that as best as I can. Or, if i see that a friend is under a good lighting condition, I rush to get my camera. Of course, if and when I want/need to, i just light the crap out of whatever. "Flat Lighting" is OUT peeps! Go for the highlights and shadows. Nothing makes a photograph more extra-boring than flat light. ...And now I'm yaking... Time to fix the flat tire... :)

    Jordan Arabejo ... your work is outstanding. The Metro Manila Set lets me in on a part of the world I would never have the chance to see. And as always I love your urban shots.
