Ok, so here's me holding myself in a ball :-).

Happy Holidays!

My interest in photography started in early 2008 when I witnessed what a DSLR can do. A few of my friends owned one and during that time I also created an account on flickr so that I can share photos of my daughter online. My co-worker's sister also had a flickr account and she kind of introduced me to the flickr community. It quickly inspired me and I was hooked since then.

As of early 2011 my subject varies widely, basically I shoot whatever is interesting to me that day or that week. My flickr contacts and the flickr community has a huge influence on this because this is where I usually get my inspiration. In general I love long exposures, macros and shooting wide open. I also do some event photography as part of challenging myself and getting out of the norm but I'll see how that pans out. One thing I haven't tried that interests me is fashion photography. I really want to try it someday.

My philosophy about photography is simple, make the final image the best possible by using all the tools you can. In short I'm not a purist. I use my camera's features, PP techniques and imaging tools to produce what ever I think is pleasing to my eyes.

Photography is also my form of connecting myself to my surroundings whether it's with people, nature or whatever. It is also a great stress reliever for me.

If you are still reading I would like to say thank you! In my native tongue, salamat! I do hope that you enjoyed viewing my photos as much as I enjoyed making them. Last but not least, my photos carry a Creative Commons license so you're welcome to download (even the full resolutions) and share as long as you follow the CC terms and conditions. Have fun!!

    "Eugene was one of the first few friends that I met on Flickr. Over the past few months, I've been fortunate to have witness his growth as a photographer... I'm constantly impressed by his ability to pick-up new techniques and his passion in his work. From HDR to b&w, florals to flames... and let's not forget his stunning bokehs! You name it, he can do it.... this guy has some serious skills and I'm excited to see what lies ahead for this budding artist!!

    Keep up the good work my friend!!"
