Palm Sunday at Basilica del Santo Niño

Palm Sunday at the Basilica del Santo Niño

Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. The feast commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned by all four Canonical Gospels (Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and John 12:12-19). – Wikipedia

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. – Lao Tzu

I saw this kid when I was trying to catch the early sunrise in Bontoc, Southern Leyte. This kid had to wake up early in the morning, everyday, to catch fish for breakfast. It makes me feel guilty for complaining of having to get up early every morning so I can have early breakfast, pack my lunch and get to the office early.

The early sunrise shoot I planned turned out to be an overcast early morning. I was about to give up when I looked back at the kid and found a subject :) A silhouette of the kid with the overcast sky and sun behind it with its rays piercing the clouds.

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness

After a few photo walks down town with different photo clubs. I learned a lot about street photography and portraits. But what I really noticed is that people in these areas, despite their everyday hard life conditions, never fail to smile.
