manny, wonderful interview, very inspirational. One question i have if you don't mind. As you were a teacher there and photography is a hobby, how much time did you devote to your hobby? and how did this affect/integrate with your day job?
This is wonderful :) I don't even know what to say other than kudos! I really love your closing comment in the "His Advice" section at the end of the interview. Photography comes from the heart rather than the head... I don't believe you could have said anything more insightful than that :)
Your photography also targets the heart, which will give your art longevity. I have enjoyed watching your progression as an artist through the work you have posted here.
Ok, well, I might be the only one here who likes what you do, Manny, but I don't care. I'll go out on a limb and say that regardless of what all these other folks are saying, Manny, I am a fan. There, I said it. LOL
What could I possibly say. You are unquestionably among the best in the world and you are clearly a down-to-earth, life-loving guy with much, much well deserved admiration including mine. Great interview and just a fantastic [early] body of work with much more to come I am sure. :)

Good question. Up to now, I still don't now how...
What I know is that it started as a weekend thing....then I started taking portraits of my students.:)
Then...I always am looking forward for long holidays. That's when I do my travel.

Coming from you John, one of the most respected dpcers, I am truly humbled/overwhelmed. Thanks for the kind words.

I hope I live up to your expectations. I will try ...I owe it to this community.:)
I'm proud to know you through DPC. I could line my walls with your emotive and varied choice of subjects. The colours and light are inspirational. Congratulations. I so enjoyed watching not only captures I had yet to see, but your humble interviews. You are a true artist.
Thanks for sharing this! I have watched some of it and will get to it later, but I did not hear you mention DPC specifically, only "the internet". Why is this?

A lot of the photos featured in the interview were challenge entries here in dpc. I've said it many times....I'll say it again: Thanks to this community. This is my virtual "home".

I can't remember if I did mention any internet "community" that I am a member of . Possibly i did mention my 3 original communities: trekearth, treklens and dpchallenge but it was edited out.
You are the most outstanding and inspirational photographer on this site...glad to enter challenges alongside you Manny. Hope to meet you in the Philippines one day...or of course, you could travel to Australia :-)
Great interviews, really enjoyed them. As everyone has said, you are truly an inspiration and it's photographers like you that make this site what it is. Thanks for sharing Manny ;-)
