MAKAHIYA, beside a petrified branch. Dimakya Island.
Seeing beyond the obvious is somehow an ability that few people possess. Things have to be pointed out before they are noticed. Now in the age of digital spoon-feeding, showing a photograph where the subject isn't the subject is a great way to challenge the viewer and their visual benchmarks.

YELLOW BELL, THREE FLOWERS ON TREE ROOTS. Luzon.
Being part of a three-person art movement specializing on photographing found objects has provided me with the fundamentals for the images that appear on this page. While we were all commercial photographers, our portfolios consisted mainly of images that were neither paid, nor posed. We somehow found our passion while searching for our artistic expression, right on the ground where we stood.

ROCK & SURF DETAIL. Boracay Island.
in my first stroll along white beach after a tiring 3-day workshop, a sailboat caught my eye, as it was about to cross the path of the sunset. The sails were dark blue, and about to catch the backlight. Initially framing it against a huge rock, I eventually decided to use the gaps in the rock and wait till the sailboat passes thru it. after a spirited run of about 7 minutes, i calmed down enough to ask myself if that blue sailboat would be something people would like to stare at for years and years if the photo was placed where they'd pass by daily. And even though it was a fantastic shot, you cannot keep on just saying "fantastic" day in and day out. So, I turned my head forward again, and slightly down. And this is the shot I chose.
In the end, the most profound of all thoughts are sometimes seen in the simplest of things.
