I spent my childhood in Manila, Philippines, my teen years in California south bay area (Milpitas), and my young adulthood in southern California (Riverside) for university. Currently living with my boyfriend in Bellevue, WA (an edge city across a lake from Seattle).

I'm just an amateur photographer. Nothing great, nothing special. But I'm hoping to improve. And that's why I'm here. :-) I had an infatuation with photography when I was in high school, but dropped it during college due to a rather rude realization that my high school did not at all prepare me for the speed of university academics. Let that be a warning to current high school seniors in US public schools (and possibly also private, I wouldn't know). I recently picked up the camera again and remembered how much fun I had with photography.
