In Photos - 2015

2015 has been quite a ride for me, my camera and the people behind the insanely beautiful places that we've been for the year - both figurative and literal. From the scorching heat of the lahar track in Central Luzon to the insane tides of the northern-most islands of the Philippines, up to the shores of our Southeast Asian neighbor in the west. 

For 2015's installment, I picked people as the subject for this In Photos entry - quite a deviation from my usual landscape shots (which I prefer actually). These three photos provide a narrative on their own which, in one way or another has made my journey through 2015 remarkable. 

So here it is.

In Photos - 2014

As I continued to wander around, my camera in tow, I was just as amazed as the first time I captured a great scenery. Awe-struck and just stood there and took it all in, all the beauty of it - both nature and moments. 2014 took me to places - unimaginably great places that led me to capture great moments that I would never forget.

Where, in 2014 was the best place I found myself you might ask? At an empty ditch on a subdivision still under development somewhere in Sto. Tomas, Batangas! haha! Read through as I walk you through three photos that defined my 2014. In no particular order (numbers for enumeration purposes only). Here it goes!

#1. "Horizon Mirror"

Taking the Torch: 40 Mountains Project (part 3 of 4)

Now for this third installment of the 40 mountains project, we get to see more of multi-day, multi-mountain trekking expeditions. From the famed D2K (Dulang-Dulang - Kitanglad Traverse) of Mindanao to the Kibungan Circuit of the Cordilleras. And oh, I would also like to introduce you guys to Fighter, the mountain dog. 

Let me bring you to the peaks of Mindanao, to the Cordilleras and Taiwan's highest. 

Life begins at the mountains.
