In my life I have been blessed with meeting people with great and diverse talents, some people come and go, but I will always remember their friendship / work. One of those special people who have blessed my life with his friendship and my career with his talents as a photographer is none other than my good friend and colleague Nikolai De Vera.

Right from the moment he emailed me about sharing his work with a fellow Filipino (I am a Filipina), I was impressed with his go-getter attitude. I even invited him to shoot an event and even when the event went sour, he had the right attitude. A positive one.

Nikolai shot some of my favorite pictures (see below) and his fun, energetic and perspective are always welcome. I guess I am writing this, because he is set to travel the world, mainly Europe and a little part of me thinks that his success will not bring him back to the U.S anytime soon. I will surely miss him, as others would for his talent, but also his friendship.

So, to Nikolai, as much as I want you to stay so we can hang out, eat great food, laugh and collaborate on projects; go out there to explore, share your gift with Europe and where ever you may end up.
