"Discovering art in my life was more of a discovery of myself. Something which I feel was always there but hushed at those past moments' circumstance and preoccupations. I experienced an awakening later in life, I should say. I was younger then in college and later about to finish medical school. It was tough as I was ignorant of the bliss that I chanced upon myself. Writing about it was arduous. Oftentimes, there would be no words for what I see and thus what I wish to share and show. I was baffled with how it was to be very meaningful for myself at the same time I could not convey it in its true nature. This then evolved into rediscovering photographs which I took when I was growing up. Film prints of photographs aimed at electric sockets, corners at my parents' home; then later the mess in my dorm room, eventually, the trees, my neighbors and such, including the pile of books on my kitchen counter. On my post graduate year, I interned in a University hospital in a small college-town by the sea in the Philippines called Dumaguete. There, as if by magic, I was living my dream, I was biking around the city, now consciously taking photographs and videos, and I was doing a good year at the hospital.

The digital camera was my eureka. I couldn't be more thankful. For a once fearful photographer and videographer as I was, turning digital was just wonderful for a seeker like me. I am inspired by the lives of people I discover. I am inspired by books I cannot get enough of. I am inspired by the idea of synchronicity, the power of thought, and solidifying that thought. I am inspired by the ups and downs of life, of my own, and those I have the chance to observe. I am inspired by words and the cinema. My photographs and experiments with film perhaps are my responses and personal views and contribution to this form of art.
