Mabuhay!
So this is it! After four years of not blogging, I’m back at it again. I started blogging when I was in the University. Internet back then was still sloppy.

That’s the … Continue reading Mabuhay!

Through the Lens: Dog Mom
Maybe one of my favorite shots from my last photowalk in Harajuku for the test roll of my newly bought Contax T2. The dogs and their mom seem like looking directly at the camera. And there they are regally parked in the sidewalk. I feel intimidated just by looking at this photo. I framed the photo with only their family in the frame but when … Continue reading Through the Lens: Dog Mom
