The first time I met Cocoy was at Malarayat Golf last April 2021. We became flight mates with a couple of common friends. Off-hand, Cocoy looks like a serious class A golfer. He was quiet and reserved and laser-focused on his game. Trying to strike a conversation, I asked Cocoy what his other ‘passions’ were. His face lighted up when he mentioned photography. Upon learning that Jeff and I are part of Zone V Camera Club, Cocoy expressed much enthusiasm in joining since the last camera club he joined was dissolved. He started shooting 18 years ago and has been eager to find a group where he can be encouraged to get into photography again. Cocoy currently shoots with a Nikon Z6 and enjoys landscape and portrait photography.
