Henri 'hank' Oftana

I'm Hank — 59, Marine veteran, photographer, baker. Born in the Philippines, left during martial law at 6. Raised on Guam, where I spent most of my life in my family's bakery.

Bought my aunt's bakery in Daly City because whether I liked it or not, the work runs in my blood. I've been behind a camera for nearly 40 years. Black and white portraiture is where my real work lives.

My wife Lyn keeps me shooting when I'd probably talk myself out of it.

This channel is the process — how I shoot, how I see, and the life around it all. The plan: retire to the mountains of the Philippines, build a café together, put my photographs on the walls.
