One
thing I love about travelling is photography. It is the only thing I can
bring with me all the stuff and memories of the places I have traveled where I will never be charged with extra baggages.
One day there was this scheduled brownout from morning until
afternoon. I was bored at home and nowhere to go to since I cancelled my trip
with Takladtamig Cinco. Suddenly, I came up with the idea to roam around and to
take photos of anything along the way. Fortunately, there were lots of subjects
for my adventure.
My
first subject is Peewee!!! This puppy is my brother's and I don't know what
kind of dog it is. Peewee is so cute, adorable and would always wanted to hang
out and play in anybody's feet.
Peewee
is also charming but I was having difficulty in getting good photos. Every time
I had a chance of seeing good angles and try to make a move, he would run and
play around my feet and everything was ruined. So glad I was able to capture
some.
My father saw me clicking the camera on
Peewee and at the kitchen, he was calling my name to take photos of the bees
under the container of "panggatong na mga kahoy". At first I was not
amazed since I was a little bit skeptic if these bees will not come after me
and put a needle on me. Afterwards, I was still not amazed since I was not able
to capture the image that I wanted.
I went inside the house to see what other
things I can use as my subject. I saw this small trophy like statue of two
humanoids-like mother/father playing with her/his child. I bought this when I
went to Batad, Ifugao to visit the Rice Terraces.
Ukulele!!!
I don't know how to use it but I kept it on display in my room. This was a gift
from my friend Ella May S. Labadia from Cebu.
According
to the internet, Ukulele is a member of the guitar family and originated in the
19th Century and was taken to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants.
Tired
of looking for subjects, I made my self one. While resting for a moment, I
clicked and clicked and clicked the camera on me and this was the result.
Malling
is one of my habits. Sometimes, I stroll just to kill the time before going
home or in times like this when there's nothing to do at home. I was in the
children's corner when I noticed these coin banks. Colorful at first sight
that's why it attracts my attention and took a piece of it in my camera.
Near
the coin banks were stuffed toys. I saw this little bear hanging on the edge
and I was kind of thinking how it will turn out if I take an image of it. And
there it is.
Blurring
the lights in the photo is one of my obsessions. Bokeh as they called it and for
me it is a very fascinating image.
Most lamps in the Philippines are made of
piece of glass or tin modified into container of kerosene and used and served
as light at night in rural/remote areas. This one was made of tin can poured
with salt and used cooking oil. Filipinos are really innovative and
resourceful. :)
