My final school year, if you could see at the upper left corner... I’m enrolled 5units for this sem. That is because I’m only taking my thesis this school year. I have to admit I’m already among the stock holders of my university because of the duration of my residency. ;) Alam ko! 203 ID ko, wag nyo nang atubilihing sabihin pa hehe. I’m praying this year that I would be able to finish my race as a student and step up to higher ground of existence. Hindi na magiging buhay estsudyante.

Dan the director of Tanghalan to shoot for their playbill. the play is Fantasticks (read the article below about it) their first installment for their Gilas: Kalasag ng Buhay - 10th theater anniversary. same with my Gilas Album, i used the theater lights for this photoshoot, therefore i was the one who is adjusting for the given light. i adopted to the light i had. some photos are too exposed since the lights are kinda harsh. white balance was my very problem and also trying to isolate the subject with the background [i dont have a separatering light :(( ]. good thing the playbill is on Black & White; my expertise :) but converting them to B&W still not that easy. its not just a plain convert to greyscale botton :) i know some of you guy can relate. the photoshoot all in all was fun, i always love taking photos of Tanghalan. they are my early subject in my journey on photography. cheers! <a href="http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/299/Fantasticks#12"><img border="0" src="http://images.lukedecena.multiply.com/image/2/photos/299/500x500/12/IMG_9607%20c.jpg?et=i2C7LWcnXcEG7B7l4n5Vhw&nmid=98789936"></a> About Fan... http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/299/Fantasticks_Play_-_Tanghalang_SLU Sat, 31 May 2008 17:20:48 -0000 Panning trip panning is one of the techniques in photography, i was waiting for a baguio bus and this what i did while waiting for some almost an hour of wait. http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/298/Panning_trip Sat, 31 May 2008 11:14:20 -0000 Pedicab - Payak Edition been to Rosales, Pangasinan scouting for my thesis project location, and it came to my amazement the looks of their pedicab. a first to my awareness how cool their local transport are. they're like a fusion of tricycles and china bikes. it feels like im not in the philippines being surrounded by this kind of cabs. hope you enjoy them... no post processing had been made :) tinamad na ako hehehe documentary issue, sooner or later faceout na ito http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/297/Pedicab_-_Payak_Edition Sat, 31 May 2008 11:13:02 -0000 Langaw grills sa bahay ni auntie. i was shooting patterns then a fly showed up and became my model http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/294/Langaw Thu, 29 May 2008 17:54:59 -0000 My Ivory Being "In Love" this is a repost. a blog written by my girlfriend, hope you guys will be inspired and feel the LOVE hehehe and i pray for others that we may be a testimony of God's works, that we can never put God in a box. <a href="/photos/hi-res/181/1"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.lukedecena.multiply.com/image/33/photos/181/300x300/1/hello2.jpg?et=wmtruS5gOG760lWJHTc7wg&nmid=83664768" border="0"></a>It has been five months ever since I let myself succumb to this thing people call “love”. Just like most of the people who were discipled in our church before 2006 (I am not quite sure about this), I have a strong prejudice against having a “premature” relationship. Just like most of my friends in church, I have this set of prerequisites to having a boyfriend. But the love bug bit me. My “love story” is not how I imagined it to be. Yes, one's love story differs from another, but I used to believe that there is a general formula – a method if you may, that is similar to each story: one kisses dating goodbye and waits, then the boy meets the girl, they get to know each other, undergo the process of courtship, get engaged for a few months and then get married. This works most of the time... http://lukedecena.multiply.com/journal/item/40/My_Ivory_Being_In_Love Thu, 29 May 2008 15:04:00 -0000 Three Trees Baguio City isa, dalawa, tatlo!!! bundok nakakalbo! another version of isa dalawa tatlo, tatay mong kalbo http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/293/Three_Trees Thu, 29 May 2008 14:16:27 -0000 Human Interest my favorite subject; pulube but this time hinaluan ko na ng iba these photos are from my trip outside http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/292/Human_Interest Thu, 29 May 2008 01:58:14 -0000 Makulay na Sisiw (Colorful Chix) <a href="http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/291/Makulay_na_Sisiw_Colorful_Chix#3"><img border="0" src="http://images.lukedecena.multiply.com/image/4/photos/291/500x500/3/IMG_1008.jpg?et=Kk2gN87jS768ArPK0lo7gw&nmid=98304764"></a> Fiesta sa Barangay kaya nalipa na naman ang mga kakatuwang mga produkto ng traditional na fiesta. samu't saring aliw ang makikita. narinyan na ng perya sa bandang plaza, mga larong bola at dice na kakailanganin ang perang pantaya. at eto pa.... mga makulay na sisiw!!! hindi sila pinanganak na ganyan ang kulay, hindi sila sarimanok :) nafood color lang http://lukedecena.multiply.com/photos/album/291/Makulay_na_Sisiw_Colorful_Chix Wed, 28 May 2008 16:22:08 -0000 Campus Harvest Manila 08 after so long years, i attended another Victory Christian Fellowship gathering. this time with my girlfriend Ivory. we planned to go together but we lack the resources to register until the time we really didnt able to register at all. blessing from above, Chicklet told us there was 2 extra IDs for the conference. the delegates for the 2 IDs didnt go. i finally met the other Victory LB family of Ivory.
