Martin Nunez & Tony Palisoc: Hogan Spartans ’85 Brotherhood at the Lake
Laughter, old stories, and lifelong bonds as the Class of 1985 reunites at Michael Dondi Reyes’ birthday celebration.
There is a specific kind of laughter that only comes from brothers who have known each other for over four decades. At the recent lakeside gathering for Michael Dondi Reyes in Stockton, Martin Nunez and Tony Palisoc reminded us all what “Civic Memory” really looks like in action.
The table was filled with more than just food; it was filled with the shared history of the Hogan Spartans Class of 1985. Whether it was catching up on life today or reaching back into the vault for stories from Vallejo, the energy between these two was a highlight of the afternoon.
“Seeing the brothers back together like this—it’s like no time has passed. This is what PinoyBuilt is all about: documenting the people who have been there since day one.”
Behind the Lens: Shot on the Sony a7III paired with the FE 85mm F1.8. The prime lens compression keeps the focus exactly where it belongs—on the brotherhood.
Enjoying the shots? If you want your next community gathering or family milestone captured with this same attention to detail, I might just be available for a few sessions. Reach out before the calendar fills up!
