“Do not be afraid to shine,
This world needs what you have to give.
Open up the areas of your being;
Expose them to yourself – to others.
You are valuable.
You are unique.
You have much to give.
Do not be afraid to give it.”Excerpt from the poem, “Risk”
By Fran Watson, 1987
This photo of a skimboarder in Dahican Beach, Mati, Davao Oriental was published in SeAir’s InFlight Magazine as one of the top ten hot destinations to visit the Philippines in 2011
My domain name is simply an old local slang, not an endorsement. 'Kodaker' meant photographer long ago, using the only popular brand then. I am actually a Canoner. : )
I write a travel and lifestyle column in two newspapers, shoot for travel magazines, keep several blogs, and host events. My journeys and crazy adventures turned me into a photographer. I am also an artist and a nutcase.
I love traveling solo. This way, I don't need to explain my eccentric ways wherever I go, which include obsession for collecting funny signs, Asian horror films, strange stuff and Michael Jackson memorabilia (guess how many shirts I have).
As a photojournalist, I love aerial, portrait, landscape and travel, while exploring destinations and culture. I give workshops and host events. This blog is but one of the many slices of my life, with the help of inspirational quotes. My full articles are in another blog.
