i decided to upgrade my site this year by installing a slideshow application. this makes it easy for me to load photos without having to tinker with too much html pages. i also converted most of the site's functions from basic html and inline frame into php includes.

i have just finished loading the nudes and still life sections, and will upload the places and portraits sections soon. i've taken out some galleries that i think didn't belong here, and instead concentrated on those that best exemplify my style.

please visit this page again for future updates.

What an exhausting year! 2007 was just one shoot after another. The new year has come, and I still have yet to update this site! I know it has taken me a long time, but I'm doing this one gallery at a time.

Spring of 2007 saw me shooting Dane again for two days. The result of this session can be viewed in the Spring Fever gallery. I think I've improved a lot in taking control of the digital SLR. It's not the same as the 35mm SLR, but I did my best to master the controls, using the manual settings to replicate images taken with manual 35mm SLR.

I've also gotten busy producing photo books this year. I've attend a class at Emily Carr here in Vancouver, and it inspired me to keep producing books, as well as to shoot for new material. That new material hasn't been put up here yet, and I'll do my best to update this site in the next couple of months.

Again, my famous last words, I'll keep you posted.

9.19.2007

I did some more minor tweaks to the site, and added more photos for the main page slideshow. I've updated Dane's portraits as well. I will be uploading more images in the next couple of weeks, so please visit this page again.

9.10.2007

I have decided to use nelz.ca as my photography site, and remove the journal and my folio out from my site. The writings (in PDF) will now be in my publishing site heliosmedia.ca.

I have not been writing in my journal, and I find that it's not practical for me to let the journal sit in cyberspace for several weeks without being updated. I might as well move my photography site here, where people can at least enjoy my images.

It's been a bit of a shock to me to stop writing (or blogging), since I've been doing this for more than six years. I think I may have been steadily losing interest in writing, and instead doing more photography work. There's still a lot of photos I haven't put here, and I'm planning to revamp the whole site before my birthday on October 27.

I'll keep you posted.

12.01.2006

the nudes section has been updated with two new galleries: an autumn haunt, which features fine art black and white nudes, and reflections on a stormy afternoon, which feature black and white erotic male nude. please check them out!

i've also put up an online store with various merchandise at cafepress.com. you can now buy gifts for your friends and loved ones!

11.28.2006

it has been a very busy month for me. the fstop: portraits section has been updated with six new people: chris and yulia, rauna, dani, lily and dane; and one page was revised: allison.

three new portrait galleries were added as well: dani, lily and dane. these three new galleries were shot using my new nikon d70 slr camera. it feels rather surreal to be shooting with digital. it's not quite like film, but the sharpness and quality are comparable.

i will be updating the nudes section in the next couple of weeks, so please visit that section again.

8.14.2006

three new galleries were added: bronze in the nude section, flora two in the still life section, and vigan in the places section. please check them out!

7.05.2006

i went back to the philippines and retrieved the rest of my portrait portfolio. i will add to the portrait galleries here, so please visit this page again for updates.

1.09.2006

a cd of all the updated galleries of my work is now available! it also contains photography e-books that i have created, and they contain images not published on this site. contact me for details on ordering and shipping.

1.07.2006

four galleries were added today: "flora" in the still life section, and "saigon," "singapore" and "winnipeg" in the places section. enjoy!

1.02.2006

happy new year! i'm putting up a new gallery called "flora." it's a collection of flower and plant images, both black and white and colored. i'm still currently selecting and resizing them, so watch out for it.

8.10.2005

i added eight new galleries in the "places" section: cape breton, halifax, louisbourg, montreal, toronto, quebec city, vancouver and victoria. these are images from my travels around canada. some sections i converted to black and white, while some i've retained their vivid colors. check them out and enjoy!

7.15.2005

i updated the f-stop section, replacing three portraits with chad, noelle and an unknown english sentry in halifax. do check them out.

i'll be adding five galleries to the places section: toronto, halifax, cape breton, quebec city and montreal. they will be uploaded soon, so keep going back to this page for updates.

to raymond renardel de lavalette, many thanks for your kind words.

4.27.2005

i updated norman's folio with a couple of more images, and i finally completed the f-stop portrait gallery with the addition of three people: maggie, mike and matt, who were all shot in 2005. as opposed to portraits shot from 1992 to 2004. i wasn't able to reach my quote towards the end of 2004, so i thought of just adding them to complete the f-stop collection.

4.25.2005

and so nelzagustinphotography.com has moved on to its own server. that's right. this site is growing, and would require a different server. the hosting company i got was from the philippines, called filcode. i was impressed that everything was set up in less than a minute. really cool.

i'll be updating some portrait galleries here. keep posted.

3.11.2005

finally, i've managed to put up a domain name for this site. it's www.nelzagustinphotography.com. quite a mouthful, but i think it's still unique.

i also installed a commenting system for everyone to post their comments -- violent or otherwise.

more photos coming. keep visiting this page.

2.09.2005

happy new year! i've been doing a lot of updates on this site. i've put a lot more galleries and divided them into four categories: nudes, still life, portraits and places. i'm pretty sure that more galleries will be added over the next couple of months--even years.

i'm still deciding whether to put up an e-book section here. i think it would be great to put a collection of these photos in several different e-books dealing with different themes. it's gonna take a lot of work to do that, but for now, it's part of the growth of the site.

speaking of this site, i'm also getting a domain name for this. dunno what yet, but will put this up very soon. keep visiting this page for updates.

10.30.2004

3.25.2004

this little photography site is nearing completion. i have yet to decide what to put on the splash page. but otherwise everything's working fine. all galleries are back online. more image galleries will be added in the next couple of months. hope you have fun viewing my images.

there are two male nude sessions i'm shooting in april and may. and one erotic male nude session. something that's bordering on the line between fine art and pornography. let's see. aside from that, i'm also submitting images to the upcoming 6th volume of philippine male arthouse publication "rice!". details to follow soon.
