I love to talk...to carry on a converation...I want that whoever is in front of me feels comfortable in front of my camera...because it is important to me that I bring out who they are. A photograph for me is not just a physical representation of a person...but rather a revelation of who that person is...what she looks like at the moment, what is she going through, her struggles, the things that makes her happy and how she expresses herself...its a peak into the different sides of a person....<br /><br />In this photo session, we just talked and we had a great time....It took me a couple of minutes to do this so that she had no time to be conscious...and that I captured her in her own special and true way. For me, it was magical...<br /><br />Collages for Gen:<br /><a title="Genevieve in a conversation" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/2423010444_343829f3f3.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/2423010444_343829f3f3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Genevieve in a conversation" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2176/2423010426_ff65bfd725.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2176/2423010426_ff65bfd725.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Genevieve in a conversation" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2422196191_9dca62e1d8.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2422196191_9dca62e1d8.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-83208341348514786102008-04-18T01:42:00.000-07:002008-04-18T01:49:32.314-07:00Her Gallery Wrapped-Canvas - No ordinary thingI have ordered several canvases for my clients and I have a few myself -- and yet everytime I see a finished product, I am always at awe at how much more beautiful photographs on stretched gallery canvases are... I always feel like I want to touch them and they look so real that I want to start talking to them --ya I'm weird --haha---! Anyway, I am so excited and can't wait to hear back from Sonia once this arrives at her door :)<br /><br /><a title="Sonia on Canvas" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2422174739_5e7f495885.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2422174739_5e7f495885.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-56138208829025341322008-04-18T01:18:00.000-07:002008-04-18T01:27:46.095-07:00Ester Aure - A mother and a strong womanI remembered it was a very cold afternoon in SF that day we took the photos. But everybody worked hard and we got some nice shots --- I bet you can't tell they were cold? Wonderful family and Ester -- I just love talking to her.<br /><br />She was one of those women who when you talk to, it would be dumb not to pick her brains out....her view of life and how things need to get done is nothing short of inspirational. She is very devoted to her community and to her family and I really admire that about her.<br /><br /><a title="A Loving Family" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3274/2411105046_5c0f037ce8.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3274/2411105046_5c0f037ce8.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Grandma and the kids" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2193/2411105114_658345a3b0.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2193/2411105114_658345a3b0.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Strong Woman - Ester Aure" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2422973802_4a0fecfb46.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3230/2422973802_4a0fecfb46.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-54639137722477593852008-04-13T14:02:00.000-07:002008-04-13T14:30:57.189-07:00Who's Who in San Francisco? : The HU familyGreat time with this family...they are so game, so cool and I just had a wonderful time with them! I have to say I was greeted by their big German Shepard, and I thought, oh sheezz..how am I going to do this? But let me tell you, I have never been so close to a german shepard before and by the time I left, I had thoughts of getting one for myself and my kids. The HU are an amazing family...As you can see from their photos, they are spontaneous, loving and beautiful...I hope they like their photos and their time making them :)<br /><br /><a title="In front of their home" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2231/2411571548_5ceaf5f2e0.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2231/2411571548_5ceaf5f2e0.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="What did I tell you?" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2410745557_f60398f9cd.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3277/2410745557_f60398f9cd.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Irreplacible laughter" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3072/2410745481_449f87c4bc.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3072/2410745481_449f87c4bc.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="This is family" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3065/2411571324_8c39c07c0c.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3065/2411571324_8c39c07c0c.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Hanging out in the great dining room" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2410745855_4d5efc4cf2.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2410745855_4d5efc4cf2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Mrs. Hu at home" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3271/2410745787_ff853357de.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3271/2410745787_ff853357de.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-11901876150960731952008-04-13T10:21:00.000-07:002008-04-13T14:02:04.096-07:00Pastor Fr. Mike Healy, St. Bartholomew Church in San MateoThe beauty of taking Father Mike's photograph was like visiting one of God's best friends and having a one on one time with him. I went to see Pastor Fr. Michael Healy at St. Bartholomew Church in San Mateo. We walked inside the big beautiful church with its stained glass murals surrounding the walls of St. Bartholomew and took some pictures. From there, we walked to the side garden where we began our conversation. By the time we wrapped up our photo session, I had already shared a big part of my life. No, I don't spill my life's 411 every time I do a shoot...he was just one of those very few gifted people, who when you talk to, gives you 100% of his undivided attention and listens without fear of being judged. With his steady and caring tone, he bids me adieu with words of wisdom and comfort. I leave his presence with a secure feeling that it will all work out and everything will be fine...and most importantly, that I just had a one on one time with somebody really special...oh what an unforgettable experience!<br /><br /><a title="Father Mike in the garden" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/2411579256_352e02a7a4.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3024/2411579256_352e02a7a4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="God's best friend" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3247/2410753529_1a448e264b.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3247/2410753529_1a448e264b.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Inside the church" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2410753473_e182591bfa.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2410753473_e182591bfa.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-27002435529100387572008-04-11T01:37:00.000-07:002008-04-11T09:37:00.547-07:00The Commissioner and the FiremanI just love this picture...how awesome is it to get three generations in one image...in their own environment, watching them interact with so much love.

And yet last April 2nd, as I sat there in the audience for the first time, the monologues resonated in the theater walls and as if I was hearing it for the first time. The impact was strong and the message was clear: Stop the Violence Against Women and Girls. <br /><br />I applaud the entire cast and crew of this year's production. You guys did a wonderful job! I am so proud of you!!!<br /><br />Also, I just wanted to do a shout out to <a href="http://www.florante.org/performances.htm">Florante Aguilar </a>and <a href="http://www.charmaineclamor.com/">Charmaine Clamor </a>for the wonderful music and singing on the show...just fantastic.<br /><br /><br />Here are some photos from the show as well as photos from the After Party at <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=84185207">Polengs</a>:<br /><br /><a title="Jodie" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2393010692_66334f43ed.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2393010692_66334f43ed.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Moan" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2036/2392177651_172b69a5ae.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2036/2392177651_172b69a5ae.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Don't Hurt" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2392178207_568e4c6e8f.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2392178207_568e4c6e8f.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Not So Happy Fact" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2393011228_9b2da67b88.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2393011228_9b2da67b88.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Reclaiming the "C" word" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2392178089_ec267ea7d2.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2392178089_ec267ea7d2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Moaner" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2392177807_4a85ef7b91.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2392177807_4a85ef7b91.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Charmaine Clamor and Florante" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2393011344_3a1237dd00.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2393011344_3a1237dd00.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Its cold and dark" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2392178135_0f4b48c9dd.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2331/2392178135_0f4b48c9dd.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After Party at Polengs:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilUtFIdyWNC_Av9iBLU4Mprwxux9WjtEdpnL0yFmI1-hdgbTIoGpyN1-r7KH1yVvV-MqGFC35QZlVBg59brdEPmL1-_T9utWwUvlbj7sNUDfpAOnQyFv6ALB3Ewzm3KJroB5k2/s1600-h/IMG_1125.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It was like I came to Vegas to get power charged - and I sure did. I cannot wait to implement some fabulous ideas in my photo shoots.<br /><br />My sister who is also a photographer from Toronto, Canada joined me and it was so nice to just spend some time with her as well. We also met a group of photographers and one of them had a wedding gown with him -- one of those just in case shoots...and my sister was gracious enough to wear the gown for us so we can do a little photo shoot....Photos below were taken at the Mile Shop in Vegas from 11:00 om till 3am...yes we are crazy but we love it.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183835705201999298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1dv_Qh55_-nZ2kbkaycDEITtpgYrTANEbvpQ-fEUNQXYqMyQd0iy41Qld5z0h7x2IiHyIcf7UXIw4pf9jB69IZdoeIbGPtOehz6ERulwDSVQdELBF7oOUIR8zz4hIeT_ZKv6s/s200/IMG_1065.JPG" border="0" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinsiYxyRNYqIzXTCNyDUBIiCP7eYqBIRiHaShjwg6tmIJJo3FR4-wxjdnO9POJGW_EcWkh8q_Yz3XqLqFPTc45DGgMZJykbWsGMYmtk4iDkP-OEPe-ahWPbl_zk9P7D5WnTipE/s1600-h/IMG_1062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183835705201999282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinsiYxyRNYqIzXTCNyDUBIiCP7eYqBIRiHaShjwg6tmIJJo3FR4-wxjdnO9POJGW_EcWkh8q_Yz3XqLqFPTc45DGgMZJykbWsGMYmtk4iDkP-OEPe-ahWPbl_zk9P7D5WnTipE/s200/IMG_1062.JPG" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183835709496966610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC4110fb0Cti3DMjwGVNX1-aPjreUAxEcNeTUaQ_t-pzRDwiVq_2IT6DU8A_dHO9JM4k3nAdXpZKgxjvnQj6Q3w6LxJTAd3-Parcz-_UdHL7sLjhYY1FH03VQ_VyCcNmD3lKTf/s200/IMG_1086.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"><a title="Roxanne" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/2361990241_6c74fcc838.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2150/2361990241_6c74fcc838.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a title="hot bride" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2308/2361990725_4834e8b6e4.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2308/2361990725_4834e8b6e4.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a title="bride at mall" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2324/2361990669_5550f82c04.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2324/2361990669_5550f82c04.jpg" /></a></p><br /><p align="center"><a title="strike a pose" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/2361990547_300dcd3cac.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/2361990547_300dcd3cac.jpg" /></a></p><p align="center"><a title="sexy bride" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2362821648_aeedf70709.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2362821648_aeedf70709.jpg" /></a></p>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-56450539156112506072008-03-29T23:30:00.000-07:002008-03-30T00:20:48.201-07:00Oohlala -- Your photos in High end Leather Bags, Diaper Bags and moreI'm not one who is into putting images into purses/ bags...but not until I laid my eyes on these babies.

Note that there is now a guy in the poster... for this year debuts a new show; Eve's newer work: "A Memory, A Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer". There is a fight to be won and a voice to be heard...because:</div><br /><div><br />“As the law stands today, a man who kills his wife will receive a lesser sentence than a person who commits murder during a rape or robbery,” </div><br /><br /><div>“Why should a domestic violence case be treated as less important under the law? We need to change the law to send batterers away for a long time so that women in abusive relationships feel safe about coming forward.”</div><br /><br /><div>This is the message we want to impart on March 26th at the Press Conference at Hotel Monaco on March 26 at 12 noon. Filipina Women’s Network (FWN) will launch a campaign to ask state legislators to close the “special circumstances” loophole responsible for the reduction. We will be joined by no other than <a href="http://vday.org/">Eve Ensler.</a></div><br /><br /><div>The poster as seen in different newspapers:<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPEZJ-DE40vqE9k0Lq5IWwRGl3lEqCfDZeUyv0I8bAHei3ewIxwkYX96tQ8EbsOmRXaYpSyVuDhYfjox4wvneGFIdqSpUhZ2HMkoSY_FIg0Iay73-j-FHa1Y3dG23xpiUAkLT/s1600-h/TVMnoneweb.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180751660985433234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlPEZJ-DE40vqE9k0Lq5IWwRGl3lEqCfDZeUyv0I8bAHei3ewIxwkYX96tQ8EbsOmRXaYpSyVuDhYfjox4wvneGFIdqSpUhZ2HMkoSY_FIg0Iay73-j-FHa1Y3dG23xpiUAkLT/s320/TVMnoneweb.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div><strong>Show Dates: Support the Cause, Support FWN</strong><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/features/ensler/vm/">The Vagina Monologues</a> - SAN FRANCISCO: March 31, 7pm @ the Herbst TheatreNEW YORK: April 18, 7pm @ the Philippine Center NY<br /><a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=5&entry_id=5647">Usaping Puki</a> (the Tagalog version of “The Vagina Monologues”) - SAN FRANCISCO: April 5, 2pm @ the Morgan Auditorium, Academy of Art UniversityNEW YORK: April 19, 2:30pm @ the Philippine Center NY<br /><a href="http://v10.vday.org/ten-years-vday/until-the-violence-stops">Until The Violence Stops</a> (Film Screening & Vagina Warrior Awards) - SAN FRANCISCO: March 28, 7pm @ the Morgan Auditorium, Academy of Art University<br /><a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780345497918">A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer</a>(NEW show!

Likely so, because Tita Puchi is an incredible person. It was a very rainy evening but the hall was filled with all her family and closest friends. There was so much love in the room -- hugs and kisses from family and friends, heartfelt speeches, beautiful song renditions and ofcourse, a lot of dancing. And thanks to Tita Bing, her eloquent and adorable sister, who played hostess that evening, the party was a winner!<br /><br />And I have to say too that the Lake Merced Golf club is gorgeous...and the staff from the catering manager, Patricia to the banquet manager and all the servers that evening did a great job as well.... I surely would recommend this place!<br /><br />Here are some photos from last Saturday:<br /><br /><a title="Puchi" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2280/2300828514_f526b34ebe.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2280/2300828514_f526b34ebe.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Pucci, Strong Woman" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/2300828730_18d2e67345.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2175/2300828730_18d2e67345.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Beautiful Woman" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2300036623_fb5a594b6b.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2300036623_fb5a594b6b.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Beautiful Family" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2251/2300036705_05643116c9.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2251/2300036705_05643116c9.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Tender Moment" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2084/2300036665_fb9132407a.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2084/2300036665_fb9132407a.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Her 65th Birthday" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2300113239_c044a5712c.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/2300113239_c044a5712c.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Beloved Guests" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2099/2300036383_e5f3662e43.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2099/2300036383_e5f3662e43.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Speeches from the Heart" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2155/2300828786_0f763092a1.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2155/2300828786_0f763092a1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a title="Entertainment Galore" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/2300036555_665e3444ab.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/2300036555_665e3444ab.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.lmgc.org/"></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-58010400075029624192008-02-27T17:26:00.000-08:002008-02-27T17:48:58.998-08:00Nimfa Coleman - Ceo, Mission Hope on FWN Cover MagazineI met tita Nimfa a couple of weeks ago. We chatted a little bit before we did the photo shoot for the <a href="http://www.ffwn.org">Filipina Women's Network </a>magazine and for the short amount of time I talked to her, I saw why she is a special person. She is a soft spoken woman, sweet, calm and very, very nice. But behind her sweet disposition, I also see in her strength and tenacity as a mother, (once) an immigrant, and now a CEO of a very successful home care business. To hear her story from when she first came here to the United States with practically nothing, to how she became one of the most successful Filipina business women here in the US is remarkable and inspiring. <br /><br />As a Filipina woman, now on my own...she really inspires me to continue to persevere and dream big. <br /><br />Thanks tita Nimfa for being an inspiration and a role model to me and all the Filipina women out there.<br /><br />*To read her success story, you will just need to get yourself a copy of FWN magazine (or you can ask from me too when it gets published in April). <br /><br /><a title="Nimfa - Filipina Leader" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3248/2296614057_5f9563e416.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3248/2296614057_5f9563e416.jpg" /></a>"Owen"http://www.blogger.com/profile/13254139363233891193noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37158184.post-79918999546694624212008-02-19T16:50:00.000-08:002008-02-19T17:27:25.508-08:00Beautiful AudreyI hope Nanette and Rodolfo like Audrey's pictures --because I do -- not because I took them but Audrey is soooo stinkin cute -- and nobody can deny that!
