I can’t believe it’s already been 25 years since the 9/11 attack. I was only 6 at the time, and honestly speaking, I don’t remember much of what happened besides school being cut short in the middle of the day and me being back home with my parents as we watched the news. Every channel was broadcasting the same horrific scenes.

5 years ago, I was given the opportunity to photograph the the artist, Gustavo Bonevardi, who created the beautiful art installation, “Tribute in Light”. It’s become one of the most iconic pieces that represent NYC, and of course to pay tribute to many lives that were lost. The installation illuminates the night sky over lower Manhattan every year around this time. It was an honor getting to be directly under the lights that can be viewed from all over New York City with the artist himself.

Enjoy this series of photos taken from a few different points of views.

It was such a lovely day at NYC Parks Rockaway Beach today with Aleja Villa, especially now that school is in session and there’s a significant drop of people there. We’re lucky we live in Woodside, Queens where we can take the MTA Q53 bus all the way there without having to transfer or anything. It’s SO easy and so worth it once you arrive! 🏖️

I’ve always felt like I’ve had a solid sense of self-actualization even when I was a kid. Although things haven’t been perfect in my life, I’ve either sucked it up or I’d work hard to achieve what I’m going for. How I would get through these moments in life are the statements I would tell myself repeatedly day after day.

Being in my 30s now, I feel that there’s been a shift in many aspects of my life. As I usually am, I do my best to stay optimistic and to look at the brighter side of things. I’m learning a lot about life, relationships, and myself. I’ll still be reminding myself and I can’t wait to see the fruit that my efforts will bring.

Happy world photo day ! 📸

My archive of photos is only getting bigger and bigger. There are so many incredible moments that I can choose from and this is just a snippet of the things that I’ve seen as a photographer.

I’ve been in some of the most public moments and some of the incredibly private ones. Broadway, funerals, behind the scenes, orchestras, marriages, kitchens, homes, etc.

From day one, I never wanted to keep myself holed up doing one type of photography. The one glue that keeps it all together is people. These photos wouldn’t be what they are without the interactions I’ve made with those individuals, and I don’t take that lightly. When folks give me their time, I consider it as one of the greatest honors.

As I continue the early stages of my career as a photographer, I can’t tell you how excited I am to continue to document and create even more beautiful photos.

I really do pride myself in my craft. If I don’t believe in myself, who will? Yes, others “might.” But I always have to put myself first since I’m the one who’s fending for myself at the end of the day. I do my work well, I push out amazing work. Rinse and repeat. A lot of people, especially entrepreneurs, think lower about themselves because they don’t want to take advantage of others. If you’re helping them win with amazing products/service and they’re happy, isn’t that enough? Am I rambling because I’m just trying to push out content, perhaps. But am I also a strong believer in believing in yourself, AND also believing in others who put ACTUAL good work out there? HECK YEAH. If I have straight up TOLD you that you do good work, best believe you know I mean it. Start believing in yourself, otherwise… you not chic. 🤷‍♂️

Is it kinda chic to quit my 9-5 for a 24/7 job? It is indeed quite chic and I don’t regret anything about that decision. Is my life chic? YES IT IS. 🫪

Oh and this is only the type of the kinda chic iceberg.

How is my phone still so packed with BTS BTS official concert from that day. Is anybody else experience this same problem? Jkay, I love revisiting this day with Aleja Villa or just by myself 🤪🤪🤪
