i was hesitant not to bring my infrared-converted camera on my vacation. adding extra kilo on my luggage is hard and tricky for travelling but knowing philippines have lots of foliage and fluffy clouds, i took the risk.
i made the right decision.

one of the nearest photo-friendly sites in my area is the american war memorial. located at fort bonifacio, taguig, it contains the largest number of graves of our military dead of world war ii with a total of 17,202. i have been to this place once and managed to visit the site again using different set of gears.

for many years, i’ve been avoiding temptation of infrared (ir) photography. the conventional photography is challenging enough for me to explore but the surreal world of infrared fuels my curiosity even more.

looking back in 2008, my friends and i went for a week-long photo trek in the province of palawan, philippines. we explored and capture the beauty of nature in the small town of el nido. it was our third day when we took the whole-day island hopping tour. unfortunately, the boat owners operate during daytime only and we missed the opportunity of sunrise and sunset on these islands. the photo above was taken at helicopter island using nd8 and medium graduated density filter on a bright morning.

i’ve been searching for days what to hang on our living room wall. our place has the modern african look and feel with dark wooden furnitures with lots of orange. we felt it was too hot for the eye and decided to add green to it. since we reside in sandlands, it was hard for me to find an interesting image and opted to use from our homeland.
