During my sister's family visit to the house, I asked my niece Ayana whose real name is Katrina Ayana to pose for my camera. Not the usual portraits I took of her in the past. Well, I just took pictures of her feet sporting that cute pink nail polish some of which have already faded in color. Asked her to wear different sets of footwear found around the house - even if size bigger than hers. She was happy to oblige as the other members of the family looked in amazement at such crazy idea. Doubled my shots with the image of a sexy star in Philippine showbiz who happens to have the same name (or screen name), Katrina. I love how these two sets of disconnected images fused together. Talk about sexy feet! LOL
The N Seoul Tower is a popular tourist spot that attracts herds of local and foreign visitors. Once up there, one can have a spectacular vista of Seoul. If you go up the tower itself, then you'll have 360-degree view of the metropolis. There are lots of interesting shops and restaurants to buy hot foods and drinks on cold winter days. Plus the entire area was seemingly designed for great photo-ops. To go there, fangcarpenter and I rode a cab so we can consume the money we loaded on our T-money cards. We were brought to the cable car station where we lined up to buy the tickets and ride the cable car up to the tower area. Then we climbed a few wooden stairs to the plaza. The huge tower was so overwhelming when we reached the top. The views were just awe-inspiring. Used a roll I previously exposed in Manila to create textured shots of my N Seoul Tower lomographs.

During our tour of Niteroi, the state capital before Rio became a city, we visited the amazing Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC). Ryan got a poster from the museum which when folded bears the title MOMO. He and Danny covered the first letter M with their fingers shaped as letter L and posed for souvenir portraits. No doubt these guys love LOMO so much.
Made these doubles of Angono's folk fiesta parade doubled with bokehs of Christmas lights. Then gave the roll a hot saline bath. The results are bokeh-licious and salt-astic! LOL! Loving this out-of-the-box and risk-taking mood I'm in at the moment.
Every new year's eve, barangay (village ) Alabang (not to be mistaken with the plush Ayala Alabang Village) holds its mardi gras where groups of young people representing the different areas parade in costumes and props. Took square portraits of the youngsters sporting Chinese and Japanese anime-inspired costumes, masks, make-up and hairstyle at the start of the parade at the churchyard.

Our creative team working on the health caravan was expected to report at the project site after lunch that Monday morning so we had much time to enjoy the sun and the beach. We were all enthralled to see how fisherfolks of the Lingayen Gulf - young and old - tried to pull a large and long net from the sea in slow rhythmic patterns. While waiting for them to finally pull to shore the entire net, me and my friends managed to do a quick pictorial with them riding the pedicab of one of the fishermen.
I've been lomographing Angono's Higantes parade for two years in a row. On the third time I thought I should do something different that would make my shots distinct from my past shots. Did these doubles on the parade and textures. And added tiny freckles on the photographs by experimenting with coke. Recently I've been into this experimental mood and loving each moment of it. Coke is it!
Long before Bruce Lee, Lucy Liu and other Americans with Asian ancestry penetrated the Hollywood, there was Anna May Wong of the silent film era - the first Asian American movie star! Principally remembered for her portrayals of the stereotypical dragon lady or the demure butterfly, her long and varied career spanned both silent and sound film, television, stage, radio and fashion in America and Europe. During World War II she supported the Chinese cause against the Japanese invasion. She died in 1961 at age 56.
As a tribute I created these triples on old images of Ms. Wong juxtaposed with Chinese calligraphy and a subtle final layer of street vignettes. Used my reliable SLR with a modified supersampler.
First of two volumes.
