Non-Writers Block

I was asked to draft a bio along with a photograph that I showed at Barangay LA's Tulay art exhibit.

It feels awkward having to write about myself and toot my own horn.

I paced around the room, listened to Jason Mraz loudly hoping to alleviate the anxiety and ended up

opting for silence. Had two cups of coffee, walked the dogs around the block and still nothing.

I made a few calls to get some pointers and decided to jot down some notes.

Still, my notepad was blank.

What was it that got me into photography?

I was never good at writing. Thoughts flutter in my head and I have a hard time
narrating things in the best way possible.
My camera became my tool to tell those stories.
It could be about my weekend with Amado and our dogs, good times with new and old friends
or people wanting their portraits taken.
Whether it be objects or people, there is always a story to be told.

Boro and Jenny : Malibu Wedding

We attended two weddings this month. 

First was my cousin Ryan and Holly's wedding. I'm kinda bummed that I wasn't able to take pictures

that day. Then again I was part of the wedding party so it would have been

awkward carrying my camera around with me.

I was also able to enjoy the wedding a bit more, less worrying about

my camera bag the whole night.

The second wedding we attended was Boro and Jenny's wedding in Malibu.

We were rushing down PCH trying to make a 4pm wedding.

Pulled up 30 minutes late but luckily the ceremony was running late too.

Kinda glad that we were a bit late since I was able to get this shot of the bride and her father.

The bride and groom entrance.

First dance.

The wedding and location was very romantic but the desserts table was the highlight

of my night.

If you guys don't know by now, Hi I'm Deney and I'm a dessertaholic.

Amado and Jenny

And We Get To Breathe...

Our grueling week started last wednesday.

We had Barangay LA's TULAY Art Gallery for 3 days, Ryan and Holly's wedding

and Amado's Mom's birthday all back to back.

Good thing Amado took a couple of days off so we can relax after all of that.

Our Wednesday started a bit late. Its been a while since we've slept in.

Had brunch at Norths End Cafe and walked around the strand for a bit.

On our way back we found a new cupcake place.

I like that they had simple cupcakes.

We made our way back home so we can rest with the girls (Juku and Kami).
They look a bit odd right now, its their summer haircut.

Amado grabbed one of the groomsmen gifts we got from my cousin.

He was really excited to try out knitting.

We've tried it before, big fail.

Internet really does help you learn almost anything.

Trust me, thats how I learned more about photography.

Thank you YouTube!

It took a few replays and taking out knots but I think he's getting the hang of it.
