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.

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.

The modern Bayanihan

admin — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 01:10:51 +0000

The origin of the term bayanihan can be traced from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place. The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location. This is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the ends of each pole. A mural by Filipino National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco illustrates the process. The tradition also features a small fiesta hosted by the family to express gratitude to the volunteers. – Wikipedia

I wish there’s a way for me to join them up there. Taking photos of places from above is one of my favorites.

When was the last time you made a wish?

Her Dad arrived just a few seconds after the one above completing the picture. Must be my lucky day

My wish? I wish I had a better camera / lens for low light conditions. This rare moment could have been made better.

Rally at Fuente Osmeña, Cebu City during President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address (SONA July 27, 2009)

Not much crowd here in Cebu City, which is good.

How about you? What’s your opinion on this mess we’re all in right now? Is it right to blame all of these on the president? Is this all her fault? If she steps down, who should we put in place?
