Creative IT List 2011

I was so sad when I found out that there wasn't going to be a Creative IT List last year. It has always been a dream of mine and I thought that dream would never come true, so I was so glad when I found out I was going to be on the list, and of course glad that the list is back!!!! So honored to be included in the same list with some amazing people (Olivia D'Aboville, Tammy David, Dan Matutina, Sam Kiyoumarsi, etc)

Huge thanks to Kissa Castaneda, Erwin Romulo, and of course Anna Canlas for the write-up! You  know me too well. Haha. 

When you're trying to book BJ Pascual for a shoot, you might want to make some allowances for the time difference. If he's not in Manila, he's in New York (guerilla site for BJ's pioneering "playttime" shoots with model pal Ana Sicdeco, see also: training ground, hoe to Parsons, F.I.T., and the International Center for Photography--all institutions of the fashion photographer's expert instruction). If he's not in New York, he's in Hong Kong... his cosmic home, Korea... and any one of several regional locatitons. Or, lying face-down, in his regulation T by A.Wang wifebeaters, in what might just be one of the most fully booked calendars of editorial shoots around the conutry. Look at a photo with quiet intensity--with studied yet at-once organic lighting--and instantly, you're moved to ID it as a BJ Pascual photo. Prograssive and fashion-crazy, BJ's got his own ideas about local fashion photography. Which is why we hae him on speed dia, if only he could pick up faster...

Thanks again, Preview!  This wraps up the many reasons why their October issue is super special to me  :)

InCase x Status Magazine!

Status Magazine's October issue witth Justice on the cover. I was featured in an editorial for Incase, a "high-end Apple accessories brand" along with Javier Sarah Gaugler (artist), Brent Javier (boutique owner) and Camille Co (designer) as "influencers" from our own fields.

The Banana iPad case from the Andy Warhol collection. Photo by Sonny Thakur, he's good!

Debbie, Incase's Marketing wondergirl who also happens to be a former college classmate, made sure I got this cause she knew my college Thesis was about Andy Warhol! Thanks Debbie!

After the shoot, they sent me a goodie bag! Hello new laptop bag!

It's faux fur-lined (it really says "faux fur" in the tag lol)! 

The tiniest Andy Warhol USB Flash Drive

Andy Warhol mousepad (excuse my Alcatel phone)

Note from Debbie! So funny! Something like "your hands are prettier than mine!" (referring to this video supplement for the shoot, yes my hands are so gay)

My old bag

We've had great memories together, but it's time to move on. 

Goodbye old tattered bag. 

Special thanks to Dan Buenaventura of Status Magazine, Sonny Thakur, and  Debbie Lupango!
