Literally chased this beautiful sunset in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar on the beach. Worth the run.
Glowing sky and sea of clouds

Shooting Cosplay 2023 with a fun old camera
Before the pandemic, cosplay events were a regular thing in the city and a cause for excitement among young and old avid dressers. I’m just glad the hype is slowly getting back in the malls. I didn’t bring my usual gears, though. Instead I brought an old camera just for fun.
Sunset inspiration
I was in the right place at the right moment the sun gave its dramatic exit behind the shoulder of Mount Apo, our country’s tallest and most majestic mountain, its crater illuminating a golden burst of halo.
Lake Sebu at sunrise
“A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” – Henry David Thoreau Sunrise in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato © Jojie Alcantara At a cool elevation of 1000m above sea level, Lake Sebu is a dream destination for photographers and artists. When you are looking for serenity, solitude and peace of mind, this location is a good choice to recharge an aching, wandering soul. Come visit the Philippines. Explore Mindanao.
Healing Spot
“Nature provides great stress relief by enabling us to remove ourselves from the things that cause us stress in the first place. So if you’re struggling with depression or anxiety, visit a forest and focus your senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch on our natural surroundings.” -author unknown

The Red Barn Davao
There are beautiful places in these islands that I do not particularly want to share, and have been hesitant to do so. These are serene spots you just want to preserve and protect yet at the same time you want others to feel what you went through.
In touch with nature
“Sometimes you just got to take time to recharge. The world can wait.”
Beach therapy
“Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.”
Seek the light
I seek the light in every dark situation, and wait for better things to come.

Digital detox
On an assignment for a photo shoot for another coffee table book and went back home happy after so much vitamin sea and grounding with Mother Nature.
Sunrise inspiration
“Actually, life is beautiful and I have time.”

Boracay Sunset
Forever that excited girl who acts like a kid when skies transform into pretty colors and that golden ball dips and winks in the horizon. I forget everything else. 📷 My pic taken by Chef Ann Austria [ Sunset, Boracay 12.13.2019 ]
Dahican at dawn
Not everyone was privileged to see another sunrise like you did, so before you start complaining; remember that the breath of life, is not for sale.
Catch your wave
