WELCOME TO THE ALL NEW & SQUEAKY mangoBLOG…candy-colored and all. We’re brothers Ryan and Randall Dagooc. As you can see in our avatars, one of the things we do best is laugh at ourselves.

We are not photographers, but artists…taboo-bursting artists :) Our healthy crew is composed of photogs, illustrators, layout artists who are just as passionate about our work as the two of us. We are comfortably and chummily left-of-center. We have to confess that we’ve never been to art schools nor earned a major design degree…coz despite its pluses, we reckon this isn’t for everyone..let alone for us. In our case, the real world is the best course.

Our vision is based on principles of openness, directness, irreverence, democracy and a dislike of institutions and pretensions - in short, no bullshit.

We’re always looking for the culturally relevant work and staying current with the hive mind. It’s intuitive, a lot of it. We think it’s just experiencing how far you can keep your mind open on a daily basis, and paying attention.

We’d like to describe our work as a tickle in your brain. .it’s not just the quality of the idea, it’s the quality of the execution, the finish. the unique spin in colors, the lines, perspective..when these elements align, they create a visual perfume.

We believe that no matter how monstrous your talent, no matter your adeptness with concepts, your adroitness with words, with pictures, no matter how much you have learned from all the creative masters who have gone before you, it will mean nothing - no, it will mean less than nothing - if you do not love your work with all its pain and glory. .every last sweet and sour moment of it - the late nights, the lost sundays.

We love it all. Embrace it all. Suck it all in and let it shape and form us into something amazing, something with depth and breadth and subtle variations in texture and color, the likes of which we’ve never seen.

We love what we do..the highs and lows and weave it all into what we are, and what we are to become. Inspiring us to work harder and longer and smarter than we did the day before.

So..uhm…uhhh…enough with this before we all get too mushy & carried away.

Now go ahead and eat our new blog and enjoy all our sun baked fun.

Any comments, suggestions and ramblings, post them in the comments box or better yet, shoot us a private mail.

See yah!

I admire y’alls work! It’s utterly impressive to say the very least. I purchased my first DSLR a few months ago and am (very) slowly learning. Hope to become as proficient with it as you guys.

Btw, I met your friend James here in Texas last week. He’s the one who pointed me in this direction. And I saw/remember the Rivermaya commercial while I was there in Naga a couple summers ago!

Congrats on this new site! I appreciate your fresh approach and I love what you said “it will mean less than nothing - if you do not love your work with all its pain and glory. .every last sweet and sour moment of it - the late nights” so true.

I look forward to seeing more of your images as they unfold.

God bless

Ever since my colleague Mary(*) introduced me to your site I’ve been so hooked! I’ve featured MangoRED as my Blog Pick for my May 5 Vlog (a daily vlog project) which you can find by clicking my link. Continue to inspire guys!

Holy Smokes….you guys rock!

I happen to stumble upon your website accidently! I am currently getting married April Fools Day of 2009. We are a fairly interesting odd couple and it makes sense that the choice we make for our photographs should be such as well. Different and creative! I am a disabled artist, which paints with my headstick because I can’t manage things well with my spastic hands. I was the subject in the Academy Award Winning Documentary called “King Gimp”. You can view my once aired commercial on YOUTUBE: Unbelievably Lucky.

We need to make this happen fellas. I love the originality in these photos. What is the cost in U.S.A. Dollar? We are located in Maryland. Who took the photos? Do you supply a photographer? Tell us how this all works and we will follow your lead.

Take care friends, Daniel & Dena

6-20-08@ 12:56 pm

i was theorizing why you’re called mangoRED… i haven’t slept last night thinking about it… so i checked if it were an anagram… and the phrases i got from it was “dream on” and “gone mad”… but each was lacking a letter… so i suppose you just like mangoes… hehe… anyway, you’re the coolest!!!

Wow! Wonderful photos! I can see a lot of creative talent abounds in the PI. Of course, it is the natural talent and beauty of the subjects that make these photos special to me. A few of these pictures remind me of photographs taken of movie stars in the 40’s and 50’s. I also appreciate that the photographer’s were able to capture the love between the two subjects. You can see it in their eyes and the way that they respond to each other. Very nicely done! Is it possible to get prints? I’d love to have some of my daughter and future son-in-law.

6-30-08@ 12:15 am

I totally agree with Daddy Martin! In the first place, no need for these two to make an effort to look good. Why is life so unfair? I really thought JP and I are the most good looking couple of MangoRed til I saw these photos. (Wahahaha!) Ayayay. My goodness! Perfect portraits of my bro and sis!!! I’m overjoyed to see you guys finally getting married. God is good! Lapit na!!!! Randall and Ryan, dapat lang kayo na gumawa ng website namin no.

I mean tears of joy ha..Oh my, I can hardly express in words how grateful I am..:) Grabe, you made us even more beautiful ( modesty aside..he!he!)You are such a blessing to us!! Just continue to stay humble & the Lord will bless you even more for your hard work! :)

Hey, is this the new version of the Thematic Apperception Test? Or should I develop my own test using this pictures? Sana the artists will allow me. Such geniuses! Best wishes Karen and congrats Ariel!
