Mom looking for something to eat for breakfast.
So I’ve packed my bags for my next move and am currently in Atlanta, GA for a few days. If you’re in the area, please say hello!
Here’s a preview of my collaboration with jewelry and accessories designer Jane Xiang. I’m glad I could release this a little sooner than everything else, so there’s something to look forward to next week!

I think everybody experiences this.
It’s when you get inspired by so many different places that your work starts to look like a mash up of contrasting images, and it makes it look like you have absolutely no focus. I get scared of that way too often, and it gets frustrating to the point that I feel like I shouldn’t even put out (on this blog) at all.
It’s actually been a good year since i’ve formally kept a blog. It’s making me a little sad, especially when you realize that you’re not creating work in fear that it doesn’t line up with your previous work.
However, as I’ve taken quite a long break from physically shooting personal work, I find that the pressure to have a consistent style shouldn’t be something repressive.
Despite being taught to choose a path now, it’s also good to acknowledge that i’m young; that I’m still a student, and that i’m learning. And that’s okay. In fact; for me to stick to an aesthetic that I no longer identify with simply because it is convenient, or that it sells, will only make me lazy and eventually irrelevant.
So if you see me jumping from one style to another, that’s just me trying to figure myself out and enjoy the process simultaneously. I also miss documenting my life, so here’s to reviving this little page.
Hope you all are on board with me too.

Danielle, January 2013.
This was from our controlled lighting set. I still do portraits from time to time, especially since I haven’t quite figured out what I want to do as a photographer yet.
I still find myself trying to catch up with myself from last year, so the idea of doing short updates on a blog is a little strange thing to get used to. But i’ll try, anyway.
New Year, New…
That’s it for now. I need to get back to unpacking my tiny apartment.
So i’ve been on a hiatus for the past few months.
Last September I began my journey to a part of the world I never thought i’d be able to visit until I was a) married or b) highly successful, and yet here I am, hungover from three months of an absolutely amazing experience.
It really was overwhelming—never would I have thought to see the same trees that Van Gogh painted, shower in an exhibitionist-style bathroom in Spain, down grappas with an 85-year old Italian noble, or walk through the streets of Paris at 5am with a high school friend just to get back in time for a roll call. I still can’t believe I was able to make lifelong friends on top of a tiny 17th century medieval village and feel absolutely at peace with the world, and so much more.
I’ve amassed thousands of memories and photographs from different mediums from a span of three months and to be frank, it’s overwhelming! but otherwise exciting to have these with me. I still want to share these but realistically, it won’t happen any time soon. Now that i’m back in Manila, I want to be able to spend as little time as possible on my computer because I want to make the most out of it by spending time with family and friends. It’s been amazing, but home is home and I don’t get too many chances to spend time with them in person—and despite every place i’ve visited, Manila still makes my heart beat like crazy. My love for this place is incomparable.
Maybe at the start of next year i’ll be able to make this blog a weekly thing, who knows. Fingers crossed. Hopefully you’ll all still be on board. For now, i’ve got to go. Will be spending time with family!
