Back to basics

The reason I got interested in photography is because of travel and landscapes (yes, not weddings). I started shooting landscapes and travel for a hobby then eventually shifted to people and weddings.
As we have been shooting weddings I have realize that we haven’t shoot anything else but weddings. I have forgotten the number one reason I fell in love with photography. This month I told my self that I should shoot and post other stuff besides weddings to add a different flavor to blacktie.
Here’s a landscape from the very amazing island of Biri, Northern Samar.
