Thursday, March 31st, 2011

I’m quite excited to get BluPrint’s Sun and Water Issue (April 2011, now available in newstands) as this is my first time to write on design and architecture. Well, below is just a teaser.

A former telecoms engineer, Estan Cabigas is a freelance photographer and blogger. He specializes in travel, architecture and documentary photography, and was principal photographer for two coffee table books on Philippine heritage church architecture. For this issue, Estan takes us to one of Mactan’s high end beach resorts — this time we not only see his stunning photographs but we hear what he has to say too.

Architectural study at a La Union resort

Architectural study at the Thunderbird Resort

I’m currently with 9 other bloggers having been invited for a two night stay here at Thunderbird Resort, Poro Point, La Union. Of course, they’re hoping to tap new media via blogs as part of their promotions. Initially, I was hesitant of joining but having seen the Santorini inspired architecture, I decided to just join and do some shots. Here’s one that I did early this afternoon before the rains postponed our activities.

I was wide eyed at the Minor Basilica of San Sebastian

Friday, April 9th, 2010

I’ve always been intrigued with the all steel church of the Minor Basilica of San Sebastian. Thanx to Tina Paterno, who will be heading a restoration project of this impressive edifice, I was able to appreciate further and take preliminary shots of the interior for a future feature in simbahan.net and to help Tina with her advocacy/project.

I can’t help but be wide eyed at the fan vaulting, the neo gothic details of this church but also disheartened at deterioration of the iron cladding that is quite prominent in the interior. These are just a few of the images I took and will be shooting the basilica by next week. Stay tuned.

About the images, I prefer to do this in black and white to focus more on the architectural details than be distracted by the colors and lights.
