I met him 6 years ago, the time when I was getting serious into photography. I must say that he takes good photos with really nice colors and lighting drama. I still remember his photo of a chess board with really nice crispy colors. He is the founder of Pipho, Philippines biggest network of photogrphers with members here and abroad. Read more about him in my slam book.
