Sixteen images taken in Cebu during the Flickr Cebu/Sugbo meet with a handful of members. Three photo shoot and 1 photo editing session were done during my almost two week stay in Cebu last month. From the early sunsrise chase in Liloan and Mandaue - Mactan Bridge, to the twilight/evening shoot in Cordova and a Photoshop session in Elmer’s Bo’s Coffee in the new IT park in Lahug.
Series 34 now started at Binary Silver. Twelve black and white people portraits taken during my numerous travels but mostly taken in Cebu. The series opens with the picture above, a security guard stationed at the main entrance of the Cebu Capitol. This is also one of my entry to the Epix 06. Other photos:
- Cebu: boys bathing at the shoreline of Oslob and Sibonga in the south, at the wharf in Danao City in the north; Enicka looking up to me and a candle vendor and another boy in Carcar church
- Puerto Princesa, Palawan: a fish vendor taken at the city’s public market and another entry for Epix 06
- Paete, Laguna: two sisters and a lady who were participating in the Mayflower festival that is the Santacruzan
- Lucban, Quezon: an old lady looking out her window during the Pahiyas festival, this year, and
- Makati City: photo taken of a young lady backstage during a live performance of the senakulo taken last Holy Week.
Capt. Jose A Cabigas II, 1949 - 2006. This is a tribute to my father who just recently passed away. 15 photos of his things that I have found at home and in his luggage that came a few days after his body was brought back to the country. Things that make me remember and what represents him. Shuffling through his belongings, reading his notebooks, I just can’t help it but be emotional. I admit, I’m not that close to my father. In fact, he’s been away for more than half of my life braving the seas to give us a better life.
I hope that with this 15 photos, I can present my father through my eyes. And thanx to Pedro Almodovar, I borrowed his Todo sobre mi madre (All About My Mother) title which is a very good film.
Happy Father’s Day to all fathers out there!
14 photos of patterns and close ups of the decors during my visit to Lucban last 14 May for the eve of the Pahiyas celebrations. Fruits and vegetables, palms and anahaw fronds, kiping, split bamboo, weaves and flowers. Certifiable Pahiyas symbols and what-have-you that marks this annual harvest festival. Really, I didn’t have much choice as the Lucbanins were still in the thick of preparations due to the howling winds and wet weather brought about by typhoon Caloy the previous days. But why not? It would be a good thing to focus on the rich decor of these festival

My Semana Santa (Holy Week) series is now started at my photoblog Binary Silver. These is a series of around 21 photos taken mostly in Lucban, Quezon with additional shoots in Paete, Majayjay and Pakil in Laguna and a Senakulo (Cenacle) in Makati near my place. Proof of the Filipino’s religiousity and rich religous and cultural traditions.
