occupation: cinematographer for advertising (tv commercials, mtvs, etc),
independent             feature length and short films
            previously a fashion/food photographer
other interests: i collect anything to do with photography/cinematography,
have over
            60 working/non-working cameras (still and motion picture)
            i like jazz and tube amplifiers, windsurfing, badminton, antiques, 
            cichlids (fish!- but don't have any tanks at the moment)  
            have had three joint photography exhibits,  two solos
            currently a probationary member of the Camera Club of the
Philippines
            associate member, Filipino Society of Cinematographers
            member, Aquarium Sciences Association of the Philippines
leica equipment: 1 m3 (just sold another one w/ a 50mm coll summicron
recently due to
                       financial difficulties)
                 35mm summaron "w/ eyes"
                 50mm summilux
                 90mm elmar coll   
                 m6 titanium on the way (by this monday!!!! god is good!!!!)
other equipment i "use/own" (as opposed to "collect"): 2 nikon f3s, f4,
28ti, hasselblad                  500cm w/ 80 and 120 lenses, and am
currently experimenting w/ a "holga"

carl zeiss                  lenses+ angenieux 10-120mm zoom, krasnogorsk 3
16mm camera (a kiev                  relative!) 
biggest leica oriented frustration: having a friend drive me to leica usa in
new jersey                  from manhattan to have an m3 and 4 lenses
serviced, and having to                       accept their $1300 fee since i
felt obliged after having my friend                  drive for over an hour!   
*BEST WISHES TO ALL
LUGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
