US friends

During Chie's wedding, I was fortunate enough to have found new pinoy friends, Glenn Maningas, who does video journalism (www.mypinoywedding.com) and his associate photographer Roel Brutas (www.saturb.com).

Here is Glenn doing his "signature" pose for me :)

And here is a picture of me and Roel, as taken by Glenn:Roel was very kind and offered me their home as a place for me to stay after the wedding. I spent 3 days in their home and I got a chance to meet Roel and Glenn's other friends and family members during their get together on memorial day. The are a group of IT professionals formerly from PSPI, Sun Microsystems Phils. I used to be from IT too so the setup is just perfect! We will try to organize more US weddings since peak season there starts June while Philippine bookings here peak in Dec.

Premium Album Photos

One of the pending items I have to do upon arrival in Manila was to pick-up Gwen's demo album, which I did last Monday. Tuesday evening, I met with Gwen & Nick to show them the album. I also took shots of the album since another client was also requesting for photos of the actual album. I am happy w/ the workmanship of the handcrafted album, it passes my high standards and addresses the requirements of Gwen and Nick.
