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.

The modern Bayanihan

The modern bayanihan

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. :)
