My photography is simple in composition, more often emotional and dramatic, but easy on the eyes. Because of my orientation as a painter and artist, I view each capture as evocative scenes I want to brush on canvas. The changing header you see above are snippets of my life as a photojournalist all these years.

⁣⁣The majestic Philippine Eagle is our national bird and one of Davao's icons as well. I captured this wonderful creature in the Philippine Eagle Center for my published article two years back. ©Jojie Alcantara⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are interesting facts about one of the rarest eagles in the world.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagle is a giant bird of prey that can only be seen in 4 islands in the Philippines- Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. It is considered to be one of the largest and most powerful among forest raptors. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️Philippine Eagles are solitary and territorial creatures. They take 5-7 years to sexually mature. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagle pair needs about 4000-11000 hectares of forest land to thrive in the wild, depending on the number of prey items in the area.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️It only lays a single egg every two years. They wait for their offspring to make it on their own (usually within two years) before producing another offspring.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine eagle is monogamous.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️They typically nest on large dipterocarp trees like the native species Lauan.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️They can live up to 40+ in captivity but probably much less in the wild.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The egg is incubated alternately by both eagle parents for about 58 – 60 days, with the male eagle doing most of the hunting during the first 40 days of the eaglet’s life while the female stays with the young.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagles in the wild are threatened daily by human activities.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ [Source: ⁣⁣ https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/the-philippine-eagle]

It took him nine days of ascent and three days going down." | Photographer and mountaineer @rhonson_ng sets out for his dream of conquering Everest Base Camp 2019 on his own.

Tenzing–Hillary Airport, also known as Lukla Airport, sits at an elevation of 9,500ft. in the small town of Lukla, Nepal. Considered as the gateway to Mt. Everest, it is the busiest airport in the country, and one of the riskiest. It is consistently rated as the world's most dangerous airport, demanding precision from highly skilled certified pilots. Lukla has one of the shortest runways in the world at 1,729ft. Aside from its high elevation, unpredictable weather, and harsh landscape, a stone wall at one end of the runway and a steep cliff on the other leaves little room for pilot error and a very short takeoff and landing. | For climbers wishing to ascend Mt. Everest however, this point of entry is just part of an adventure they are willing to take risks with. | The latest crash in Lukla was in April 15, 2019 when a plane collided with a parked helicopter, resulting to three people killed and three others injured.

#throwback Wearing my personal hand painted shirt in Manado, Indonesia back in 1995 (hindi pa uso ang rebond sa life ko) 😜😜😜 | P.S. The painting I copied was a book cover photo of Lory Tan's Guide to Whales and Dolphins in the Philippines which I liked a lot. #Manado #Sulawesi #Indonesia #Bunaken #SoutheastAsia #beach
⁣⁣The majestic Philippine Eagle is our national bird and one of Davao's icons as well. I captured this wonderful creature in the Philippine Eagle Center for my published article two years back. ©Jojie Alcantara⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are interesting facts about one of the rarest eagles in the world.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagle is a giant bird of prey that can only be seen in 4 islands in the Philippines- Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. It is considered to be one of the largest and most powerful among forest raptors. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️Philippine Eagles are solitary and territorial creatures. They take 5-7 years to sexually mature. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagle pair needs about 4000-11000 hectares of forest land to thrive in the wild, depending on the number of prey items in the area.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️It only lays a single egg every two years. They wait for their offspring to make it on their own (usually within two years) before producing another offspring.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine eagle is monogamous.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️They typically nest on large dipterocarp trees like the native species Lauan.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️They can live up to 40+ in captivity but probably much less in the wild.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The egg is incubated alternately by both eagle parents for about 58 – 60 days, with the male eagle doing most of the hunting during the first 40 days of the eaglet’s life while the female stays with the young.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ◾️The Philippine Eagles in the wild are threatened daily by human activities.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ [Source: ⁣⁣ https://www.philippineeaglefoundation.org/the-philippine-eagle]
