THE BIG JUMP

Finally, last May 31 (Friday), I made the "BIG JUMP" by resigning from the company that I've been working with for the past 20 months here in Cebu. I decided, the only way to realize my dream is to wake up. Prior to this job, in 2005, I also gave up an administrative / managerial position with a Media Network to start working on re-aligning my career path where it's supposed to be heading.

Being a family man, it is not easy for me to let go of the security blanket that a regular paycheck provides. It is a sacrifice and a risk that I have to take for something that I believe will even be way much bigger...something that I am most passionate about...and something that will make me grow further as a professional - and as an artist.

Photography has always been a passion of mine since my days as a student. The camera has never ceased to amaze and challenge me to come up with images that I would love to share to the world. Four months ago, I revived this passion with renewed fervor. Now, I am taking it to a new level from being an amateur/hobbyist...to professional.

Yesteday (June 10), I just covered my first project documenting a sports event - a rugby match between a visiting team known as the Hongkong Rhinos versus our very own Cebu Dragons. I don't have yet the big, white lenses required for such a gig, but I think I managed to compensate and I'm able to come up with exciting pictures depicting decisive moments during the game.



More updates in the next few days.

I'm in the zone!!!
