about

KAIROS is a collaborative visual chronicle forgedamong friends who are engaged in this journey ofself affirmation that most people call photography.Somehow in this journey these friends stumbleupon a common joint only to find out that the roadahead and the road just taken is one and the sameself they go about in every conscious livingexistence of their individual lives.

When we are what we see, we then re create amirror of our own visions through the medium ofphotography. And through that opportune momentwe capture time and space in a frame of ourblissful heartbeat. This is KAIROS. This is what weseek.

Worlds apart through an imaginary space. As wesummon the imagined, we become one.

Yes, almost a year from initial conception ofKairos, we hereby present to you the first everedition of what this joint effort looks like more orless. Undress your inhibitions and ride through.

Kairos on!

No other animal has its elegance, grace and power. Kings, queensand knights have each been known to have their favorite horses.You can't say the same about a cow.

Masked cowboy heroes won't be whothey are without their trusted steeds.And two of the most iconic luxurysports cars have the went as far asputting the horse on their logos. Andif your talking about the right breed,it could be the most expensive animalyou can spend your money on.

My love affair with horses began at an early age. My mom and dad wereusually aksed by the school principal to come because I would be caught...

A MIX of weekend hobbyists and nearby residentsusing rod and reel, a plain reel or just a line spendsome time trying to hook talakitok, snapper andgroupers.. for food - at the place where the CagayanRiver meets the South China Sea... taken at theafternoon where the sun was harsh. I tried to captureand process as my eyes had seen these, squintingagainst the glare. A lot of overblown highlights,especially those facing the sun.

Corregidor, an almost uninhabitedisland situated not too far away fromMetro Manila. Tourists come and goon the island for different reasons,some are interested in the island'shistory and its connections to warperiods, some wanted a quickgetaway from the city noise, whileothers fancy the idea of ghosthunting.

Corregidor, an island populated bymuseums and memorials actingstorytellers of the island's history;Trees and bodies of water strikinga deafening hymn of its own;Barracks, abandoned batteriesand tunnels that envelopes itsvisitors with coldness and echoesto trick their senses.
