I shoot in film and digital. I love everything vintage: vinyl records, turntable and antique cameras.

Photos of Elmer Borlongan

Testimonials

Seeing his photos made me realized that there are more to those things we often just passed by. He continues to inspire me to look twice to those things to really see their beauty.

ka emong paints with his brushes and with his camera, a true master of both mediums, being a traditional artist enables him to flaunt his creativity no matter what tools he has at hand.

I learned alot of things from Ka Emong. He have been my idol and one of my source of inspirations since I was still young and studying in San Antonio. He always fascinates me with his works. Never thought that i'll be meeting him again here on Flickr.

Ka Emong's works are lyrical and poetic.His photos are the ones that evoke emotion....one that not just passes before your bare eyes but the ONE that leaves a mark in your memory and heart. He is truly one of the gems of the Philippines when it comes to visual arts!
