Eventhough i am here in Canada, I participated in the monthly photo contest of WPPP, "Pre-Nuptial" Category. My print won 2nd place and 5 more got merits (top 10 from more than 100 entries).

2nd PLACE:

This engagement session was just last March 24, 2008 in New York, USA. I love the lines that coordinated well to the arches of the building plus the effect of the lights which added drama to the picture.


Five (5) of my entries were included in the top 10. As you notice, i really really love capturing the noisy water of the beaches while my clients are enjoying the beauty of the place.

Boracay.... a place i will never exchange with any part of North America...
