Blog Time

Hi, I’m Jay, and here is my blog.

I started photography when I got my first Canon Powershot S3IS. Yes, I was a Canon user before this.

But it’s not about what camera you have. What matters is how you take pictures. Photography is the art of creating stories and your view of the world. It's like cooking; you have to know the best recipe in order to make delicious food. And it takes effort to make a great photo.

I'm a working student, and combining school and work is not an easy task. Many times I have felt like giving up. It's tough, and it's going to get tougher as we prepare to make “portfolio quality images”. My only prayer right now is to graduate.

Last year I went for a vacation, back to my beloved country, the Philippines. No matter what sort of negative things people might say about my country, I still love it. There are two reasons why I went home on my vacation. One reason was to see my mom and dad. After eight years of being away, I missed them.

The other reason was to to propose to my beloved Rosey. She said yes! Then she hugged and kissed me. (Shhhhh... We've known each other for two years, and being in a long distance relationship is tough.) That was the highlight of my vacation.

I'm going to return again to the Philippines in 2013 for the "big day", and you folks at PV are all invited, as long you pay for your plane tickets....and don't charge me for being my wedding photographers.
