Hi, everyone! I'm Dean Santarinala, a 23 year old photographer from Chicago, Illinois. I have worked as a photojournalist and designer since 2006, but art has been a love of mine ever since I can remember. On my blog, I try to share the best of my personal adventures and professional work... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts!

My Lola turned 92 on Thursday so we came to visit her on this joyous occasion. She has been living a good long life so every year that she is still with us is a blessing.
Two weekends ago I went home for my niece’s 1st birthday party. Filipino parties are pretty boring for me when there’s no one my age to converse with, so I mostly played with my nieces, but the real treat of these parties is THE FOOD! I miss it so much when I’m at school! My mom made me a care package of Filipino food to take back to school with me, but I forgot to grab it off the coffee table before I left! :-(
