Seek the light
I seek the light in every dark situation, and wait for better things to come.
– Jojie Alcantara, on life and photography
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.”
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
“If you’re having a bad day, catch a wave.” ~ Frosty Hesson
Man and sea
“The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too.” Vincent Van Gogh This is my childhood beach, back in our ancestral home where we live so close to the sea, we smell of salt and ocean all day long.. © Jojie Alcantara Ferrando Whitesand Beach, San Ignacio Manay, Davao Oriental In photo swimming : Kuya Meric Yumang * * * *
Bird’s eye on Dahican
“I love places that make you realize how tiny you and your problems are.” ❤
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
Footprints
“Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.” ~ unkown

Follow the sun
“At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.” — Sandy Gingras, Writer
Waiting for the next wave
“Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.” ― Bethany Hamilton, Soul Surfer
Nightscape serenity
“Always end the day with a positive thought. No matter how hard things were, tomorrow’s a fresh opportunity to make it better.”
Gone to sea
“Don’t take anything for granted, because one minute it can be there and the next minute it can’t, and it happens so quick. When the negative stuff comes around, just let it go. It all leads to the positive as long as you keep a positive attitude. Enjoy everything you get. That’s one of the most important things in life, is really appreciating it because we only get to do this once and it’s not for a long time.” ~Jay Moriarity, surfer
Moments of solitude
“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.” ~ Barbara de Angelis
Dahican Cove
“Sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need.”
Be confident
“Be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are – and aren’t – that you will truly succeed.” ~ Anon
Speck in the universe
We are but mere specks in the universe, our lifespan a mere second on the whole time lapse of history that keeps unfolding. So let’s make the most of our millisecond here on earth as nurturing species. Share the love and compassion. Create a ripple so that mankind will be remembered. ~ Jojie Alcantara (Sunrise seascape, Davao City)
Colors of sunset
When your world moves too fast and you lose yourself in the chaos,
introduce yourself to each color of the sunset.
Talikud Island Mangrove Sanctuary
Mangroves have the ability to grow where no other tree can, thereby making significant contributions that benefit the coastal ecology.
Prayer for Peace
“May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace.” Stop the War.
