Black and white are the colors of photography. To me they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected.

Rendezvous by the River Seine

Locks on a Bridge by the River Seine, Paris - Sep 2013
Bring a new lock and its keys,
Let's meet on a bridge by the River Seine.
There we will confess our secrets,
To each other, bare our souls.
Then my dear, attach the lock to the side of the bridge,
And toss the keys to the waters below.
So forever our secret shall remain,
At the bottom of the River Seine.

Come, Sit With Me

Wooden Antique Chair, Cebu  - Aug 2010
Come and sit,
Stay for a while,
Let the gentle breeze tell you,
The old familiar story,
Of time mellowed by memory,
Of memory mellowed by wine,
Of wine mellowed by time.

I Am One

Quanzhou - Feb 2015
When you pass by, do you see me?
Do you feel uncomfortable?
Even sorry, maybe?
Even hate me, maybe?
Perhaps I remind you of something,
You are trying hard not to be.
