Here’s a little something I wanted to do during my trip to Palawan. I felt during the previous months that I haven’t growing as much as I’d like as a photographer, probably because I’ve shifted my focus on so many distractions. I need to inspire myself again and not succumb to the vacuous feeling I’ve been having lately whenever I get in front of the mirror, click the camera’s shutter, or take that first step out the door before a trip. For my Palawan Photo Series, I’ve stripped down my photos to black and white, back to basics … raw and natural:

Getting there is part of the adventure


Alone but not lonely


Memories that can last a lifetime


Beauty in the mundane


I raw away yet my day was not so full


Sunlight opened up my eyes


Blindly chasing a feeling I might have made up


My turn on the river styx


The modern wildman


Always waiting for the light to fade


I left home but I haven’t lost anything


Too tired to keep on pretending


You never looked better than the first time I saw you


You’re all washed up, I’m sorry


On and on from the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep, I’ll be there by your side



Nothing is burning here, it’s so so so so cold

I haven’t slept for over a month, I’m a mess


The path to obscurity
