Aldner and Michell's Prenups

I've just uploaded Aldner and Michelle's prenups to my PicasaWeb account. I've also updated the fotomoments blog and posted photos of the prenups there as well.




Hope you like the photos. I'm really, really itching to shoot more of these. Prenups are pretty exciting since it is the first session with clients. During the shoot you get to know them better and at the same time guide/teach/harang them to be better photo subjects.

Photo Invitations - Baby Christening

Baby Riva, the daughter of Regan Sentillas and Laila Cericos, is to be christened on the 11th this November. The mother, Laila, who was a high school classmate asked me to make the invites.

This portrait is one of the pics I used for the invitation.


Here are the three design studies I made. I don't know which one Laila would choose yet. :)

What is "beauty"?

Stumbled upon a gem of a wisdom over at Dino Lara's Blog a video about how beauty nowadays can be so deceiving. It also illustrates that beauty can really be skin deep.

Here's the vid and you decide for yourself what beauty really is.

Regina's Sepia Portraits

One lazy fore-lunch morning, with a digital camera in tow, I was prodding Reg to pose for me. "I'm testing the sepia effect of this one", I told her and showed her a snapshot. Suprisingly, she indulged me. And sensing that this was gonna be a rare opportunity, I indulged myself too. Luved the shots.

Netscape News Frenzy

When your mother often scolded you as a kid decades ago about not talking too much lies and deceits (or counter-lies and counter-deceits), she was actually warning you about how the world would change in the future.

Your future then, she thought and forewarned, would be full of lies and deceit, and counter-lies and counter-deceits, that they'd actually pass off as truth and honesty not just in your neigborhoods but more devastatingly in well repsected institutions such as news companies, etc., etc. Which is what is happening over at Netscape, Digg and other user-based news gathering websites.

Thing is, users get to look for "news" and post it in the websites (as links) so other users can read and vote for the "best news" of the day/week/year. The user with the most posts gets something in return. They get paid.

Sadly, most of the "news" that gets posted, read and voted are news at all. Most are just "qualified" rants and raves of people who think they know too much yet have their own different agenda. Talk about fair and un-biased journalism.

Good for you though. You've been forewarned by your mother about them people. So the next time you get snaggled by these types of "news", be polite and just say, "Right." And move on.


Chill! :)

Lazy Blogger

Dinah, one of Regina's more blog-addict friends, wrote somewhere that she's read my blog. Which could only mean that through all the corporate promos and inses(s)ant sales-talks with friends that I had was a success. Finally, someone noticed. Uncoerced by the way. (Well, she was guided but never forcefully...after a dozen tries).

Hehehe. I guess I'd have to prim up and kick my lazy but to update and post more. As if I have anything to post. LOLZ!
