As for your photography in the city, I am reminded of how I started with a Mr. Clean-sized Kodak instamatic camera (circa 1980’s, stuffs you call vintage now); a baffling film roll, that looked like mini-binoculars — that I can barely buy even; and things were simple then. My then pastor father gave it to me and we equally shared it in the family like a sacred heirloom. I was 5 years old when I first released the shutters. (Time flies so dizzying fast!) That moment opened to me a whole new world of themes and memorabilias. I was the excited, new kid who slept all the way into the now of things. There were no CebuAsia’s back then.

I went off from that day shooting just about any sundry objects. But the Rizal Boulevard in Dumaguete City was a sight to behold everyday. I think, that was one disquieting reason why I should pursue this fine art.

I am bidding time with all these crazy hobbies. Sky’s the limit, they say, but I am still in Cebu. Who knows where I’d reach shooting my subjects next.

Here’s a handy tip: Always incline to shoot something which nobody even dared to try with an angle or settings and they, too, would exclaim, “I could have taken this myself!”

From photos to websites to shirts, there is no stopping now.

People are eyeing back at our bright-lit Cebu these days, always coming back to this website for more; and this is just my little contribution for them to admire this wee photography-friendly spot in their hearts.

My $0.02 worth, too. Good luck with your take offs, Mike!
