Point and Shoot - 2010 Street Photos

These pictures were taken before I even had my DSLR. We were strolling around Manila, from our house in Tayuman, Tondo to Quiapo until Intramuros. I used Sony Cybershot in shooting these photos.

TAYUMAN, TONDO

PEEKING

This was taken from my grandmother's house in Tayuman, Tondo.

STAIRS

Old school stairs are normally made up of Narra, and according to my grandfather before he passed, just like any other old house, this was also made up of one.

INTRAMUROS

Little Passenger

I remember, I was excited the first time I saw this picture. This actually affirmed my desire of being a photographer as I have captured this at a perfect time.

Horse

The whole goal here is to take a picture of the Kalesa but since I'm in a moving vehicle, the effect got altered. Amazing enough it is a lot better than how I intended it to be.

Kids Day Out

Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.

Children are really fun to work with. They are funny, unassuming, innocent and we can get beautiful pictures just by merely watching them play.

 Kid waiting for her mom to get her something to eat... She was looking at me while I am setting up my cam...

 MINIONS!!!! - unassuming kid playing with her minion.

The Following photos are taken from ATC... I found inspiration in those kids running around the fountain, somewhere in the middle of the mall...

Merry-Go-Round *surreal version*

These two girls are special. They came with no parents. They approached me shortly after taking their pictures. Apparently, they also like being photographed... :)

Someday, somehow, I hope I could also take pictures of my own kid(s) but that is quite far fetched at the moment. Meantime, I will continue to find happiness in the eyes of the innocent and have fun capturing those priceless smiles! :)
