(Succulentophile gives way this week to this article by Joey de Castro.)
I have been going to Sagada nearly every year since the late 1980s for various reasons: to indulge my photography, clear my head and satisfy my wanderlust, mostly. However, my latest hobbies collecting succulents and making pottery have given me new reasons for visiting that place so far up north.

Johann brings a wealth of sensitivity to the art of photography through a blend of technical proficiency and emotional depth. A lawyer by profession, it is perhaps the combination of a cerebral mind and an artistic heart that allows him to capture the world in all its magnificent truthfulness.
