Loboc, Bohol, Philippines -- Alfonso "Nong Ponso" Varquez poses in front of a mural bearing an old picture of the Loboc Band he once was a member of. Up to this day he still has a great passion for music thus making him the best choice to be the curator of the music section of the Loboc Museum.
Lighting Info: One Vivitar 283 on-cam bounced to opposite wall for a greater subject to light-size ratio.

Photobin: Aris
Aris or Aristotle loves to be photographed. One day, he came by our shop and brought some pull-outs fresh from a copy of GQ. He wanted the photos to look like the ads on the magazine.
"I can't do exact copies," I said. "We can play around and see what happens though. Come back Thursday."
So, come back he did, thus, these three photos below are some of the layouts from the shoot. :)

Quick Portraits -- During a 60's party organized by a group of friends, I tried the new Nikon d40 brought by Beatrice. Always the every-ready strobist, I had brought with me my lighting kit - a Vivitar 283, light stand and umbrella - and shot quickie portraits with everyone.
Strobist info: (camera right) One Vivitar 283 bounced to a silver umbrella mounted on a lightstand. Trigerred optically.
Post-processing info: levels, color-balance, dodge/burn, selective coloring

Music: Joni Mitchell Big Yellow Taxi
The original version of this song is really better. Well, with due credence to Counting Crows, they did a good job with their cover. But the roughness, the raw passion and the playful rendition of Joni Mitchell just makes you crumble and fall. :)

PhotoBin: Joven
This is the first batch of photos from the session I had with Joven. It was really a good thing that I had Lourd, Jude and Reg as my assistants since I'm practically new to "concept" photography. I usually shoot weddings, commercial stuff and what nots.
We were supposed to start the session at around 5pm but Lourd - whose Visatec strobes we were using - had a meeting and to postpone to an hour later. Around 6pm, the sky was getting dark (my initial concept was dark day), we started setting up the lights and our model started fixing herself up. Now, I have never done this before so I was getting nervous.
We started at around 6.45pm and tried different stuff, my hands shaking all along. But Lourd (being the master photographer and mentor that he is) prodded and encouraged me. Jude and Reg helped also. Of course, Joven was really cooperative so I guess we got some keepers. I think.
Happy viewing. =)

Rough Start
It's the 9th of February, well over thirty days into the year and I haven't written or posted anything yet. Not even a short "hello" or a yet another "snapshot". No, I haven't been lazy (again) and did nothing all day. In fact, I've been pretty busy. Pretty busy fixing stuff - my life mostly.
I will post more though as soon as I get things in order. I know I will have lots of things to write and photos to post. Just you wait! :D
Meanwhile, check out Eat At Joe's. Fun. For photographers. And aspiring ones.
