I was always a student of art (sketching and watercolors mainly). These were my main passions up and 'til I graduated from high school. The skills I learned have remained in the past and I know for a fact that I have lost them with time.

I was always into cameras and loved to take photos. I had always taken pictures with the typical point-and-shoot (film) cameras but they were never satisfying enough. And then came the first time I touched an SLR. Oh how much control one can have to capture life at it's best and worst. Growing up in a family where finances were always pinched, I never had a camera to call my own. With numerous part time jobs, I was able to acquire my very own DSLR.

My main subjects used to be anything and everything with a motor (automotive, motorcycles, etc.). Photojournalism became my main staple for years. However, I love to explorer different areas of interests and am willing to tackle a new challenge. Weddings were added to my list as well as other types of event photography such as birthdays, concerts, and so forth. Portraits are also a new addition to my list of what I do.

I'm forever learning from more experienced photographers and from trial and error.
