first generation filipino/american born and raised in los angeles. i'm a photographer. i shoot whatever i see that interests me. or not. sometimes i shoot vegetables. i like to hang out in the produce department and gently squeeze the tomatoes--just feels good. i have many vegan friends, but i, myself am a carnivore. never met a person that doesn't eat. no matter where i travel around the world people like to put stuff in their mouths. (pause). okay, so i've been to berlin and belgrade and edinburgh, and they all have beautiful old buildings. why don't we have interesting architecture in l.a.? just a bunch of strip malls that push consumerism. there should be a place that you could go to to find friends. nevermind. i'm already here...somersault in sand with me.
