Purple

This is Abby. I don't know if that's the way she spells her name. I do hope, however, that I did justice to her impish smile.

Prism

Light does some interesting things when it hits the back of a compact disc. Again, another high-iso shot, this time with ISO set at 800.

Stained glass

While waiting for mass to start, I couldn't help but bring out my camera to take a shot of the church's stained glass window. Because the light was so poor, had to push the ISO to 1600, but the noise wasn't that bad.

Absolute power

The hand that rocks the remote is the hand that rocks the world. This shot shows the relatively low noise levels of the D60, even when using its high ISO settings, i.e., 800 above.

Perfect

The volcano, not the photo, which could be a lot better. Mayon Volcano is the only known volcano to be shaped like a perfect cone. Few photos have really done it justice. This is not one of them.

Baguio, the place to bee

This is a photo I took last year while in Baguio for the Supreme Court's summer sessions. Since I didn't have my D60 at the time, I believe I used the office's Canon EOS 350D. The image is not as sharp as I'd like, but the bokeh is quite nice.

Hand+Sam baby

The title of this post speaks for itself.

Ice, ice, baby

To escape the summer heat, one need not look far to find relief.

Nature's canvass

When He wields His paintbrush, no artist can compare.

Old Supreme Court Building

This is the sight I see every morning, when I go to work. The building is as old as it looks.

Couple

This is Marty, my brother, and Tere, his squeeze. They enjoy having their picture taken.

Mother and child

My sister, Stevie, and her daughter, Sam. Yes, they both have boys' names. And they both begin with the letter "s." Both names are better than "Matutina," if you ask me.

Leaves

In my photography class in FA, one of the first things we're taught is the importance of contrast. Our eyes, Prof. Garalde would say, are naturally attracted to images with high contrast. The photo above is an example.

Caleb

This is my godson, Caleb. He turned one this month. He is enamored by the freedom that comes with walking upright. When he is older, I doubt he will be as enthusiastic about walking.

Sam

Sam is my sister's daughter. She was born last month. All she does is sleep. So all I do is take pictures of her.

Flonne

Flonne is a year old, and she takes after her mother, who is also pretty.

Every day should be earth day

In a country where people go hungry and fight to make ends meet, it's difficult to give our environment the full attention it deserves.

On my desk

On my desk, every morning, is a cup of coffee. The mug is from Starbucks. The coffee is not.
