MY PHOTO PORFOLIO
Just want to share with you my award-winning photos:

MALATE CHURCH

Taken almost two decades ago this photograph appeared in the 1985-86 PLDT Metro Manila Telephone Directory. It shows the Malate Church, a concrete and adobe Romanesque structure enshires the image of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, brought over from Spain in 1624. The modern bronze sculpture of Rajah Soliman, one of the pre-hispanic rulers of Maynila, juxtaposed against the centuries old church, mirrors the City of Manila - a combination of the old and the new.

SHE LOVES ME, SHE LOVES ME NOT

My first grand prize PLDT Tuklas Talino winning photo in 1984 with the theme Humor in the Street

This is my second PLDT Tuklas Talino Photography Contest grand prize winning shot came in 1988 entitled “PLDT: Looks at its Glorious Past; Veers to the Future.” It takes a crack at depicting how the company was as shown in a sepia collage of old photos and the modern, digital phone sets in the backdrop.

In 1992, I got my third PLDT Tuklas Talino Photography Contest trophy for my “Paa-mimingwit,” my very own Tagalog word concoction, translated as “feet-fishing” Theme for contest was “Worm’s Eyeview or Perspective, in gist entries should show anything as if as though viewed from underneath. I took this particular photo under a wooden scaffolding or a makeshift bridge made from coco lumber. The kids were playing in the area and I requested them to pose holding bamboo fishing rods with feet dangling. I positioned underneath the bridge while my feet soaking in a muddy murky water and rubbish. It’s worth the efforts, though.
