Sunrise in Dawis

What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page, a chance to right ourselves and receive each day in all its glory. Each day is a wonder. ~Oprah Winfrey

There may be a reason why you stumbled upon my page today.

by Jojie

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.

Wadi Rum in Jordan

by Jojie

Wadi Rum Protected Area was declared in 2011 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its most outstanding desert landscapes, lending a surreal feel to the vast environment. If you think this is a scene from a Star Wars movie, there may be a little truth to it.

Dusk descends on Sky Eye, one of the biggest and tallest ferris wheels in the Philippines located in Sky Ranch, Tagaytay. Sky Eye has 32 airconditioned gondolas that can accommodate 3-4 passengers. It lifts you up 63 meters above the ground, giving you a stunning view of Tagaytay, its neighboring provinces, Taal Lake and volcano for 10 minutes. © Jojie Alcantara #Tagaytay #SkyRanch #Philippines #sunset #fujiXA3 #fujifilmph #mirrorlessrevolution #SkyEye

Visit Davao Summer Festival (VDSF) 2018 brought us to a 2-day dive fest at Governor Generoso and San Isidro in my beloved province of Davao Oriental as part of its longfest and widefest summer activity. This long sandbar is part of Sigaboy Island (owned by the Jacob family) in Tibanban, Gov Gen. 😊 (5.19-20, 2018) @VisitDavaoSummerFestival #VisitDavao #longfest #widefest #Sigaboy #VisitDavaoDiveFest #DavaoOriental #GovernorGeneroso #Mindanao #Philippines #experiencedavaooriental

If you think I am in Kong Island, think again. Though this ape-like facade is cute, I am in Sigaboy Island in Tibanban, Governor Generoso, Davao Oriental. 😆😆😆 (5.19.2018) 📷 by @ryearao @VisitDavaoSummerFestival #VisitDavao #longfest #widefest #Sigaboy #VisitDavaoDiveFest #DavaoOriental #GovernorGeneroso #Mindanao #Philippines #experiencedavaooriental
As the day begins in this quiet coastal town of Dawis, the sunrise creeps slowly, casting a golden glow to sea and sky. Life is stirring. However, for fresh lingering souls, sunrise is symbolic of a new beginning. Two close friends and a schoolmate of mine just passed away one after the other from illnesses. I wish to send these golden rays as they journey to the afterlife. I pray that they will find eternal peace and happiness in that new dimension. | Sunrise in Dawis, Digos, Davao del Sur ©Jojie Alcantara * * #xpro2 #sunrise #beach #Dawis #Digos #Mindanao #Philippines #fujifilmph #mirrorless
