Photographs & Memories

After a year of trying photography as a hobby, I've learned that the premise of "Taking Pictures" is that every picture has a story. I've discovered that my photographs come from my own inner world; they are quiet images that speaks to me intimately.

My subjects are not distant; they are not isolated from my feelings. I always think about my childhood, friends, my family. I'm reflecting on who I am at this stage of my life. I see places I knew when I was growing up, I visit places I have never been to, some look familiar, many are new to me, but in each case the place calls up a story and all those stories trigger the same response: I've got to photograph this!

The next time you go places, take your camera with you, if you make attempt to photograph those places, let me know what you capture in your pictures....

Interview With God

I awakened this morning and the whole world is white with snow but the sky is clear, the sun is shinning and as I looked out my window, I could see that even the birds seemed to be celebrating the promise of a gorgeous day. They are skipping from one tree branch to another, singing beautiful notes...I am so happy, everything seemed perfect! Feeling like this,I started reading my mails and found this email from a friend with this very inspirational website, I couldn't help but share this to anybody who will happen to be in my site. I hope it will touch you like it touches my soul, know that God is real and ever present in our lives....

What's New???


I have not been up to date about creating new posts on this blog as I had intended when I started this. And so much time has elapsed now and it is virtually impossible to keep you updated, but there are few things that have been happening since my last post.

Wherever you are and whatever you may see when you look out your front window, I want to share with you what was going on in my front yard this morning. It was just 2:00am and I was just getting ready to go to bed. It was dark and very quiet. The sky was black and starless but the ground was blanketed in white snow which made everything visible, even in the utter darkness. There are no street lights here, but still the world can be seen with eerie clarity. Except for the hissing sound of my breath and the rhythm of my heartbeat , it is quiet...absolutely quiet.

Here Comes The Morning


The dawn was so pretty this morning. Even if it is still middle of winter season, I can see that the sky looks clear. As I was leaving the driveway at a few minutes before 6:00 and starting up the hill, I could see the first sign of dawn. The sky was a very faint but gorgeous sight to behold behind the darkness of the hills and the silhouettes of winter trees, and there was so much hope and so much promise for today and for the future. The sky seemed to be talking to me, saying "be patient for many good things are coming, the promise of spring is at hand." I felt so at peace even though my schedule as I looked at it, threatens to overrun me....but there is my life and all my dreams just waiting for the day I come to claim them. It is soon and getting sooner.  Life will be perfect....someday, somehow, somewhere
