There is no path to peace; Peace is the path.

About Me

I'm very much into still life painting, tennis, free flow writing and fine dining. I endulge in technology, I'm facinated by the National Geographic channel, and I seek to appreciate the simpler - yet finer - things in life. I love family, faithful friends, honest strangers, and thought provoking conversations over a generous glass of red wine.
I believe that televisions should stay out of the bedroom; that to make the world a better place, learn to be a responsible adult and raise good children; that complacency is detrimental to your well being.
Photography is an insatiable passion, my own selfish reflection and one of a few things that makes any sense to me. If I could articulate on our existence, it would be through the language of photography. And simply not the photo itself, but rather the process to the end result -- from visualation to conception, to commitment and then creation. The facets of life and all its nuances are transcribed in a cryptic, yet eloquent way in each and every photo.
Passions are revealed to few and even fewer are those who stop at nothing to persue it. I thank God - the master of light and greatest photographer of all - who has blessed me with more than I deserve.

Additionally my thanks and gratitude to my second grade teacher Mrs. Fudge who caught me drawing boobs in class and rather than scolding me instead encouraged me to keep drawing (something other than lopsided circles with dots for nipples), Mac Bruson whos knowledge of the Bible both inspires and pierces the heart, Rodel Oiga and Mark Bautista who unknowingly plunged me into the world of computers, Alan Smith who reignited my passion for photography and last but not least my Gall Bladder for scaring me back to a healthy eating style.
