Dear visitor,

Mabuhay! (Long life) and welcome to my photography pages. Listed below are links to photographs I took here in the Philippines. I hope you enjoy viewing the photographs just as much as I enjoyed taking them. I appreciate any thoughts you have regarding the pictures (there's a [What you think?] link at the bottom of every page). You can also send e-mail at this address. Maraming salamat po! (Thank you very much!)

Note: I often use the highest resolution allowed by my camera and on average the size of the output file it generates can range anywhere from half a megabyte to as much as over 2MB. This means it will take about 3-5 minutes to load a single picture if you're on a slow 56K dial-up connection. In consideration for dial-up users and since my photo pages are hosted for free, I resized all the pictures so they load faster and at the same time conserve space.
