Photographer's Note: In July of 2005, I decided to seriously get into photography as a hobby. It has been one of my aspirations. I would often look at other photo websites, admire their work and wonder if I could do them myself I started with an complicated point and shoot camera (Canon A95)and for two months, it became my handy accessory. I brought it everywhere I went and I took photos even while I was driving. Taking every imaginable object I can find in the house or on the streets, I have amassed quite a simple gallery that I set up a temporary blog site. Not even imagining that I would grow into this hobby and that it would absorb me in, by September 2005, I went for an upgrade. With my Canon 350D, I began feeling like a real photographer. And by November 2005, I was going full-blast. I do not have any formal training. I did not have teachers to guide me through. All I learned, I learned from my peers. I still continue to learn from them and so far, my love affair with photography seems to be an ongoing awe-inspiring experience. I do not hope this to stop. One year after my first foray into photography... My first printed work was featured in Digital Photographer Philippines Magazine July 2006 issue. Titled "Manong" Although I do not have a clear goal of where this hobby will take me and how far, I think I have evolved a definitive style: Cinematic. Now I am not sure where that exactly falls under in Photography or if I better do moving pictures rather than still shots; but I would have to say that with each shot, my vision seems to reflect scenes I've seen from the movies.
