Untitled #001

A few of us Lifestyle Bohol team members have quietly left this publication a few years back – and for different valid enough, of course, reasons. But, some readers did not get the memo and continued on assuming we still worked the shift. I’d occasionally meet a few of them and would point out that they knew me – the bald Lifestyle guy – from the staff box photos we used to have here. I, stuck with the apparent fame, would flash a casual grin and utter a shyly “Yeah, I’m him.”

I would not explain myself. The story of my parting is boring and uninspiring. Plus, I actually liked being associated with the paper! In fact, Lifestyle Bohol – Photographer/Designer, my CV would say. I am proud to have had toiled alongside the gang – Chris, Jasper, Vida, Liza, Sonieta, Mitzi, Paul, Michael & AMB. I have learned a lot on the process.

Now, I’m back and this time with a proper column. A photography column, in fact.

Since its inception (second inception actually), Lifestyle Bohol boasted of sharply written articles and superb photography. Christopher Ramasola (congratz, new dad!), our team photographer and creative director had an uncanny vision for creating superb images for every issue. I sat around and absorbed a few tricks.
