My Partner Photographer in the Island of Siquijor

Jemar Jumawan

Right before we left the abode of the kind family who gladly welcomed us in their home, I took this photograph of my partner and uploaded it first among all her other photos. I believe this shows how she is as a person, a lady who does not back down and is always optimistic about life.

Fish spa - this was! This marks the first time I took an image of my photo buddy's legs dipped in the spring water near the big Balete tree where a school of fish were after our feet's calluses.

This was really candid! This was taken while we were outside the church, lighting candles. And I can't help but include this shot among all those I consider her best shots. For those who do not know, I greatly and I admittedly admire Jemar's faith in the Lord and His ways.

 The pictures below show how highly photogenic my camera buddy is. All I told her was to pose. Then, here! She's made all these without much orders. She's a natural!

Oh, this one really got me! That diving platform is too high, but Jemar was never afraid to step on that. It is one of the many reasons why I admire her. She's bold and brave. I'm proud of her.

This one was taken on a slide from the large rock formation of Salagdoong Beach Resort to its wonderful basin of clear sea water. And I uploaded this for one reason - to show my partner's carefree side.

This was taken before we left Siquijor Island for Dumaguete City. This is my partner's sweet side.

          I'm very glad I got the chance of capturing these moments with Jemar. I did not only get the chance of working with her but also the chance of learning more about her. This sweet lady from Mindanao has other personalities, beautiful personalities in her. She is blessed with optimism, wisdom, and great faith. Kudos to an inspiration,
