     I’m Ariel C. Rabanes, 29 years old, male living from a small province of Iloilo City, Philippines. I’m a resident pediatric physician with strong love for children and loads of patience working with them. This is my calling. Being a doctor is simply who they are, not just what they do. My driving passion is to help people, to be challenged, and to learn throughout life. The desire to help others in need within them is just like eating and breathing.

     Photography is my outlet and a stress-buster of my profession. Actually, there is no simple and definite answers I will give to why I love photography. Or maybe, I’m just curious about life, so that’s why I love photography. I love take pictures with off guard moments when some very real, stark honest reflection of humanity comes out on my camera and is born forever into the world! What can be captured is a picture goes well beyond what could ever be captured with words. The most priceless moments are those that come unrehearsed, unscheduled, and with prompting. There is a sense of enjoyment, calmness, satisfaction, and peace around me when I take pictures.

     Family events, babies are born, children grow up, mountain views, or venturing off to an exotic location really drives me to take memorable pictures.

      I always take time every month to have myself a break to bring my camera with me and to take pictures. I love to take pictures of events (in the Philippines we have so many festival celebrations here, where you can capture beautiful costumes and unguarded moments), nature and travel. My last travel was last October 2010 where I went to Ilocos Province (at the northern part of the Philippine archilpelago) where I got so many beautiful shots about the place.

     I really love adventures and I want to explore and discover places that I haven’t gone so far in my life.
