Nikon Announces D4 Digital SLR
Every few years a camera manufacturer announces a new successor to their previous flagship model. Today, Nikon announced the successor to the D3/D3s/D3x line. The highly anticipated D4 flagship model for Nikon comes just a little bit after Canon announced their 1D X model. Coincidence? Or just clever timing on Nikon to steal the 1D […]

Photographer’s Wish List: Gitzo Series 3 Carbon 6X Systematic XL Tripod
I’ve had the same tripod for over four years now. When I first saw the Manfrotto 190xPROB series I instantly fell in love. As a matter of fact the Manfrotto tripod I have today was the first piece of equipment I purchased, even before my digital SLR! Also being a landscape photographer, I’m just as concerned […]
What Inspires You? Pt. 2
It’s been awhile since I wrote a blog post about inspiration. I thought it was about time I talked about it again. This time the theme is inspiration to keep going and moving on. Last week I was fortunate enough to meet one of my inspirations and heros. Zack Arias, an editorial and commercial photographer […]

Timeraiser / Volunteer for Art
As an emerging artist I have always tried to find places that would show and sell my work. A few years ago I met some nice people at Framework who organize an event called Timeraiser. After hearing what they had to say I was delighted. Finally something in the community that helps artists, non-profit organizations […]
Where I Get My Photography Equipment
As a working photographer I get asked quite a bit, “where do you get your equipment?” Since I’m not sponsored by anyone I can honestly say I’m not tied down to any one place. Just like this backpack I’m free to roam the landscape. Even though I can go anywhere on the internet for the […]
Photographer Tools Pt. 1 / Organize With Evernote
Before I started this idea of becoming a full time photographer I didn’t rely on much to keep my calendar in check. I woke up every weekday at the same time went to the same place and did pretty much the same thing until that round device on the wall said it was time to […]
Legaci Interview / Discovered by Justin Bieber
When Anne Claire Danan called me up one day and asked if I wanted to help her cover a story on Legaci I have to admit I was like, “who?!?”. We’ve all been there at one point or another. When someone you know helps you lead the way to new experiences. After saying yes I […]
Mabuhay Calgary Advertisement / Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Once in awhile I do some house ads for the newspaper Mabuhay Calgary. This one had to be themed for St. Patrick’s Day and have a Filipino twist to it. It proved to be quite challenging to come up with an idea so I enlisted the help of the editor to help me out. She […]
iPhone Photography / Instant Gratification With Instagram
My New iPhone 4 For those of you who follow me on Twitter or on Facebook you probably already know that I finally gave in and got an iPhone 4. I’ve been a loyal Nokia user since cell phones had LED lights and you had to push *4 on the keypad to see how much […]

The Cityscape Exhibit Opening Reception
On February 2nd I had the opening reception of my Cityscape exhibit at Cafe Koi. For the past three years I’ve been working on a personal project of fine art photography depicting the urban landscape. Structures such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Seattle Space Needle and the Toronto subway system are featured in this on-going […]
Chelta & Todd / Engagement
Last year was such a busy year that I haven’t had time to blog all my wedding and engagement shoots. Now that it’s cold out again I thought I’d torture myself and look at all the pictures during the summer. Even better I’ll share them with all of you! It’s not surprising that Chelta and […]
