So many things to be thankful for

Heres number 1. My little girl Sarita at 2 months and 3 days.
I set up early in the morning just to be sure that when shes up were shooting. Had 5 shots in my head but of course things don't go your way most of the time... hehe so all i got were 2. Still not bad! Blogger kinda messes up the color a little and im pretty lazy to compensate so here she is...

Happy Monthsarita!

She's 2 months old today! and we just came back from a weekend in Baguio. I wouldnt really know if she enjoyed it but she wasn't crying much! hehe I also took out my canon 135 f/2L for a road test. hehe all I can say is... Its tack sharp! If you have a full frame body, then go get one! only reason i said that is coz if you have a cropped sensor you'd be looking at almost 200mm... thats gonna be pretty hard to shoot indoors! Heres a sample... not too shabby now! oh and did i mention it was shot wide open??
This photo i just had to share! taken by my LX3... babyyyy!

Look Who's getting bigger!!

Its only been a little over a month and my little girl has grown so so much! Mommy is doing a great great great job!

Sarita at 22 days old!

at a little over a month old

a few days ago

All my storage space is reserved for the little one. hehe i think i should go get myself more HDDs. Oh and recently ive been going back old school! Been using an old EOS 5 film camera to take well most of my photos. i think there still is something about waiting to see the photos that just gets me going...

Ang Bride... Bow.

Guila and Ping finally tied the knot today in Bellevue Manila, our group was lucky to be asked to shoot their wedding! Congrats Gui!! Babies agad! hehe

Welcome Sarita Via Lugtu Bustamante!!

Today my baby was born 4 pounds 13 ounces in Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa. We got the name Sarita Via from a mixture of names of people who are most important in our lives. Which just happens to mean "Princess" in Hebrew. What are the chances?! hehe Welcome baby Sari!

More photos here!

My Nephews

We went to my Dad's rest house in Bulacan for the weekend. Kids went swimming and adults... watched TV. haha

This first shot is Javi at exactly 8 months and 1 day. Cute!


This second one is a photo of the next Michael Phelps! haha we wish! he just loves the water, nothing competitive. It took me around 10 mins to fix up 2 speedlights on stands, umbrellas and a couple of filters. And all he gave me was 2 mins! He isnt even on the national team yet and he's giving me attitude! haha Oh and when I was about to pack up I saw something fall in the corner of my eye. *Crash* I saw my stand, my speedlight with shoot thru umbrella on the ground! OUCH! good thing its still working.

Eraser Heads Reunion Concert!!

The Philippines has been waiting for something like this for a looong time and finally it happened! Thanks Sid for the tickets in VIP! Unfortunately, the concert was cut short because their lead frontman, Ely Buendia suffered from a slight attack of Hypokalemia. Everythings ok now! Get well soon ELY!
