Alright, so new year (2011), new "Describe Yourself" entry.
I feel like the piece i wrote originally is a bit outdated.

So here goes..

... yep, that sums up pretty much everything about me, lol XD

Alright, basically what it says is:
- i started shooting August of 2009 when i got my first dSLR - a Canon Rebel T1i
- i like shooting portraits and stills, and a little bit of street photography
- i suck at nature and landscapes, and sports photography, so don't expect any of that on my stream
- i shoot with a EOS 7D, yep CANON Baybee!!! XD
- i ♥ my 35mm F/1.4L =) [update: love my 135mm F/2L too, and my Sigma 85 F1/.4 completes my so-called Hybrid Trinity :p]
- i spend a ridicuolous amount of time flickrsurfing and looking at other people's photos
- i use Lightroom 3 to process my photos (no, i still don't know how to use PS - sad, i know)
- i'm Filipino (from CEBU), based in Sacramento, CA
- please feel free to FlickrMail me if you have a question or if you just want to say 'hi' =)




******* OLD "Describe Yourself" ENTRY - 2009 *******
Totally NOOB in Photogrpahy.
I'm just a guy with a camera, and not quite a Photographer (yet).

My first digital camera was a Canon Powershot A40 back in 2002 and the love affair with CANON began ♥♥♥ c",)
Upgraded to an IXUS 50 / SD400 back in 2004 that i still use to this day.

After years of living a frugal lifestyle, I finally picked up my first dSLR August of 2009, a Rebel T1i / 500D, and that marked the start of my financial crisis XD
Upraded to a 7D 3 months later, damn you Thanksgiving Sale!

As you can see, i've barely just started in this new hobby, i can't even get a decent watermark signature on my photos (lol) I obviously have very little knowledge on how to post process, you could say im Photoshop illiterate (thank god for Picassa 3.6 XD)
Message me if you have any advice on how to get started =)
Critiques on my photos are most welcome.

I'm a Filipino (from CEBU) based in Sacramento, California.
So if you're a "Kabayan" from around the same area, hit me up, i would like to meet more Filipino Photogs around NorCal or even SoCal.

Salamat! (Thank You!)

march 2010: Yey! So I finally have a signature / watermark on my photo(s) XD
april 2010: Finally starting to learn Adobe Lightroom for pp =)
