      I've been really busy for a whole week during the last week of January because I was commissioned to do the ID photos for a family-owned shipping/fishing business.

It was in Dalahican in Lucena City, around a 45-minute drive from where I live in Tayabas. That's everyday for five days... whew! (Actually, it isn't finished yet and I'm back there today.)

I had to take over 300 photos of the fishermen of the ship St. Benedict, including the other employees.

As the ordeal went: Drive there (before 7 a.m. because I have to catch the fishermen before they go out to sea), prepare... write names on boards, shoot, drive back here, save the photos, rename the filenames to corresponding names, open them in Photoshop, crop, adjust tone, color, levels, etc., add border stroke, save, drive back to my printer in a Fuji shop in SM City Lucena (30mins. or so away from Tayabas) then have it printed, drive back here in Tayabas, cut the prints, pack them into individually named plastics, pack into an envelope, then deliver to the family back in Dalahican.

Photos to come soon. No, not all the 300+.

But it was all worth it. It isn't very often that I get commissioned by Chinese business-people, and they are very professional. Always on time, always up to standards, and... they serve good food :'D

Thanks to the Yu family!
谢谢 xie xie! (that's "Thank you" in Mandarin (Chinese) ;')
and Advanced Happy Chinese New Year! ='D

I received an invitation from the Wedding and Portrait Photographers of the Philippines about three weeks ago for the next WPPP Photo Congress this year. It will be held at SM Megatrade Hall 3 in SM Megamall, April 16-18.

This year’s event will showcase local talents who made it to the international scene. Not only in music, boxing, and “kariton klasrum” do Pinoys excel but also in the art of photographing loving couples and personalities and creating exceptional videos.

Those interested may call 433-4650, 710-5968, 0917-7438949 or drop by G/F Regis Angeli Building, 33 V. Luna Road, Diliman, Quezon City.

I'll be going there again with my two brothers and I'm very excited for another crazy gathering! See you there!

Yay!

Finally, a blog. I have been wanting to have a pretty decent web presence for a long time, but some tragedies (for example, the Ondoy typhoon devastated the offices of one company we have chosen to create a website for us) and some bit of procrastination (not ours entirely, hehe) have set us back.

Hopefully, we can post here all the events I cover as they come. Bookmark us [hit Ctrl+d on your keyboard] and visit from time to time to see the latest about me and what I do, or better yet, include me in your feed reader so you'll get announcements when I have posted something new. I have several plans about the Studio and I hope you'll be a part of it.
