After a forced interruption of three years due to Covid-19 pandemic, I am finally able to return to the U.S. for in-person visits with family and friends. Besides seeing loved ones, some random shots taking note of the post pandemic pulse while roaming the streets of several American cities

Province life is a simple life lived outside the hustle and bustle of big cities and suburban sprawl. Sometimes rural, sometimes lacking in sophistication, it has it's own distinct flavor and culture sometimes comparable to a Western view of "country" (vs. city).

Black and white street photography of wanderings with a camera. Looking into the global experience of varied cultures, everyday life and the human condition. Though captured in monochrome, the individual stories - some joyful, others joyless - they each provide their own spectrum of natural color.

Tasteful portraits and conceptual arrangements captured inside a home studio setting. Experiments with light as it plays across the human body.

The COVID-19 pandemic is among the deadliest infectious diseases to have emerged in recent history, covering all parts of the globe. First identified as a new disease in China in December 2019, The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March, 2020.On 16 March, 2020, the government of the Philippines imposed an enhanced community quarantine in all of Luzon and the surrounding islands, which was effectively a total lockdown, restricting the movement of the population except for necessity, work and health circumstances, which came two days after the implementation of community quarantine in Metro Manila. Additional restrictions mandated temporary closure of non-essential shops, commercial and retail businesses, schools and universities, banning of public events and travel, and social distancing and wearing of masks (later face shields) was mandated used whenever outdoors.

Captured everyday scenes of daily life of human activity on the streets of New York City, my hometown.

A rounded collection of images with scenes showing life and landscapes throughout the archipelago of the Philippines. Spending the last several years wandering among the population, here are the obvious differences witnessed in lifestyles between those in the wide open spaces of the rural countryside and those cramped within the confines of steel and concrete.

The wide open landscapes of America with the evidence of the human footprint. Open air, waterscapes and seasonal scenes are illustrated without the clutter of people, though many have passed this way.

Whether it be work or play, capturing every day Filipino life outside the crowded confines of the metropolis of Manila. In the countryside of the provinces, the mountains, the sea and beaches; the beauty of my adopted home on display.

Man, muscle and endurance; versus man, versus beauty, and versus oneself... Showing the strain and results of giving one's all in the spirit of competition.

Happy faces. Free smiles. Humans. Collection of portraits in everyday settings.

A multitude of musical artists performing around the world, from concerts on the Hudson River waterfront under the Amphitheater at the pier in Yonkers during the city's annual (free) Friday night Jazz, Blues and More Summer concert series, plus a handful of performances from Manila, the Philippines.
