This week was an eyeopener for me as I took on my weakness in street photography. I am currently holding Ziggy (70-300mm SIGMA APO DG MACRO Zoom Lens) to shoot people in the streets without disturbing them. I It was nice to see that my composition and look for street photography improved in the past few weeks. Although I stopped doing model shoots these days, I think I need to go back to the studios by next week. I get to see people more now and have improved on this but I need to go back to my basics which is high fashion and glamor. I need to see beautiful faces again, and possibly get some more time to go back to the gym.
Thinking about what I have been doing these past few weeks, it has been a privilege to work with the guys at D60KREW. I have been thinking about what I was doing on street photography. It was passion driven, and you just hope that someone else see what you see through the lens. In the Philippines, it was all poverty... how hard life is and to see some slight happiness in-spite of what was happening in the country. Let me share with you some of my photos in ESCOLTA and the streets of Manila.

The D60KREW taught me something, it was not enough that I only learn photography types like these... I had to in one way or another empathize with them. Make them part of the society for the purpose of making CHANGE happen through photographs. I had a blast working with the great TATA GIL who is celebrating his birthday today, Ms. Bambit who brings these great people, and the D60KREW and Michael Olino who made this KALYE episode happen. I love my new found friends. =)

We tend to see what we are looking for, and if you were looking for poverty, then you would find plenty. But I assure that that there is more than poverty in the Philippines. There is happiness that you will find even among our poor people. There are beautiful sights and beautiful people. Go out some more, and seek what is beautiful, not just what is poor.
