First Real Shoot at Fat Boy Studios

Started the day just like any other and I was really excited to get some practice shooting cosplayers. I enjoy photography on cosplayers because, as I have stated before, they are just so accommodating to photographers and I am always so thankful the allow me to take their pictures. Here in my country you would be very hard pressed to find a more popular cosplayer than Alodia, to tell you the truth though, she is one of the most down to earth cosplayers I know and has absolutely no airs about her.

I started the day wanting to capture her in a studio setting. Ive seen her baroness cosplay and have been wanting to document such an awesome piece of cosplay work. I'm just so thankful that she and her sister and mother agreed to pass by my studio for an on the spot shoot. I knew she was tired and the baroness suit I'm sure was extremely hot. She stayed patient throughout the shoot and was just a dream model for any photographer.

As I always say. To make interesting photographs the first thing is to get a very interesting subject. It doesn't get anymore interesting the this People. Thanks for you time A and I hope to shoot you again soon. =)

Otaku Taiiki 2009

I never Tire of going to cosplay events. The cosplayers just seem to have unlimited energy and they all seem to be having a great time. This hobby is a great one to meet friends and make new ones. I just go in order to get some practice for my photography.

After a while you'll know some of the nicest people you have met. The last event i went to is the Otaku Taiiku. The event area was just too small and the Aircon in the place couldn't handle all the people inside. The place looked like a tight fit. being a photgrapher I enjoyed the outside of the event much better. Everybody was there and they were more than happy to smile and give you a pose.

If you are trying get your photography better, especially your event shooting. Cosplayers are the best subjects you can shoot. =). Remember though, if they do pose for you, one of the things you can do is to at least show them their pics. Send a Link of your pics to Raymond at http://cscentrl.multiply.com/ and show him your pics. He will post them in his site and the cosplayer that gladly posed for you will see her pics. Its the least you can do.

I personally dont know if Taiiki was a sucess. But, I had a great time and for me thats all that counts. My pics of the event here. =) http://www.flickr.com/photos/14528141@N04/sets/72157621993189621/ once again Thanks for the pics Cosplayers you all looked great. =)

The passing of Mrs Cory Aquino

As a teen of the 80's I have missed most of the drama that led to the people power revolt. Although we fully felt the drama and the revolt, we never had put too much importance to it as we were naive of the flight of the filipino. We were just too young and too engrossed in our own little world. Even when Ninoy was shot to death I never really took another glance because i never knew who he really was or what he really stood for. I is only nowadays that videos of his heroism was released and the sacrifices for his country shown. Allow me to share some videos of NINOY..That we were not able to view in those dark times of Dictatorship.I hope you enjoy them as much as i have. http://www.youtube.com/user/NinoyAquinoTV

G10 Video Quality

Here are the videos I quickly took of my daughter hamming it up last night she is just beautiful..=) Love her. Hope you like the quality of the G10 it really is a very easy cam to use.

I still remember Goldcrest, Makati Supermarket and Quad

For the guys who are young you may not remember but for a guy like me who grew up in makati its always been and enjoyable place to visit. I remember Goldcrest for Nova Fontana. We used to hang around there for RC's toys and what ever they had. There was no cellphone, internet or any of the modern comforts we have now. Its was just all walking and talking. I enjoyed those times. Sadly the last remnants of the old Glorrieta is starting to dissapear. Im sure the new will look great but the old will always stay in my memory. =)
