It was July 28 in the afternoon when me and my wife Jenny decided to have a husband and wife bonding and to have fun. What we did was.....Foooood Photography. She cooks and I'm going to shoot the food. She decided to cook Tuna Tataki with Asparagus. She did all the preparation and food styling and here's the result of what we did. This photo was also selected and featured in Digital Photographer Philippines, Issue #40 in Your Images, Reader's Gallery Section page 51. The funny story about this photo was I thought the date was already July 29 and the deadline of submission was July 28. Upon realizing the date was still July 28, I hurriedly post process my photo in my personal computer and change the photo that I submitted in Digital Photographer Philippines website. The next day, to my surprise, one of the editors, Angelea Velasco, emailed me that my photos were selected as a potential image for DPPs 40th issue and we have to submit the high resolution version of our photo without interpolation and watermarks. Still, after I submitted the 3 photos, I was still clueless if it will be selected because it has to pass and fit to the CMYK printing. I emailed Nigel Laxamana, one of the moderators, just to verify if my photos made it to the final cut. He told me that it's been a practice to keep us excited as they don't announce the selected photo until the magazine was out in the magazine stores. Now, it was a waiting game. It was just in the 3rd week of October when I really found out that my photos were selected. Not only one, but two out of three photos were selected (Yahoo! The other photo was Whole Wheat Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Mousse). I just said Wow! I immediately informed my wife after I found out that this photo was selected. She's the reason why I have a subject to shoot. Without her, I don't have a subject. It was my mentor Ricky Ladia who teached me how to shoot food, how to light it and how to make it appealing and make the viewer hungry. And I guess I did that. Thanks to him. But most of all, these are not possible without God. This photo did not make it to the DPP Magazine without Him. He is the reason of everything. It was an answered prayer.
For this, I give Him back the Glory and the Honor. To God Be The Glory. Thanks for dropping by. God Bless.
