Japan 2019
This was our first trip to Japan and we choose Osaka/Kyoto. It started out a bit rough, what should have taken 1 hour to commute from Kansai Airport to the hotel actually took 2 hours. The train/subway system was intimidating at first. What greeted us at the Premier Cabin Hotel was a small comfy room …
Philippines 2019
I haven’t been to the Philippines in 10 years so what better occasion to revisit then Geo & Azee’s wedding.

Ging
Today we had a visit from Sandy’s cousin Ging. It’s hard to believe this is the 1st time I’ve met her. We tried something different this time, a constant light in a softbox with a clamshell configuration using a Westcott Eyelighter for fill. Sandy was shooting the photos remotely with an iPad Pro.

Shark Fin Cove II
Work took me down south, so I stopped by Shark Fin Cove again.
GRFX Studio
Just downloaded a free version of GRFX Studio. I used it to replace the boring sky in the Shark Fin Cove photo below. Yes, this can be done in Photoshop, but this software just makes it easier. I liked the result so much I had it printed 20×30.
Natural Bridges State Park
After work in Santa Cruz I ran over to Natural Bridges State Park to shoot a few.
Pescadero II
We took an impromptu trip out to Pescadero Beach again.
