Yesterday was a good day for street photography, mainly because there are a lot of people out there, mostly children. And, people don’t mind to be photographed =)

While tempting, I can only take a few shots as I have to continually watch my two kids as they ran across the busy crowd at the San Bartolome Church. Here are some photos:

Back in the old days, when the only means of entertainment is the Nintendo Family Computer, the Betamax and all sorts of physical activities like habulan, siato, tumbang preso, luksong tinik, etc. The one thing most of the kids my age look forward to is the Perya (Carnival). Every Christmas and Fiesta, me and my friends would visit the local plaza on a daily basis and spend our evening inside the Perya.

Now, looking back, the place is not the same. In a way it has become sad. Yes there are still happy faces, but, by walking around and spending time with the place again, I can tell that it has lost something…

On my way to a photo project, decided to take some shots on Bayan, Malabon area…

When I shoot photos outside, I usually allow myself to wander around a certain place. I’ve been coming back and forth in the Navotas Centennial Park, there are a lot of good subjects there if you allow yourself to be patient, and I guess same goes with any other place.

Yesterday was the La Purisima Concepcion Fiesta at Malabon. Just took some photos and bought kalamay =) Photos below and some random shots at the Navotas Centennial Park.

Some of my shots has been featured in Manila Bulletin’s Picture Perfect section. If you happen to pass by a newspaper stand, buy a copy now.

You can view the photos at Raffy Paredes’ Through a Lens, Clearly article.

I was busy finishing a project when I heard fireworks outside. I asked my wife what it’s all about and she said it has something to do with an event at the Malabon City Hall, and I told her why she didn’t tell me about it! So I hurriedly grab my camera, went outside to take a shot of the fireworks display.

I was trying to look for a good angle, found a good spot and I’m ready to take a shot, I reach for my camera and then, the fireworks stop =/

Anyways, just decided to shoot the area within the city hall…photos below…sigh…

Have you had a chance to look at the sky last night? Apparently, heaven was smiling =)
I went outside to capture it in photo, but, to my frustration I couldn’t get a good shot (I need that tripod!) Anyway, here is what I was trying to photograph – from another guys photo.
