One Day in PAYATAS

Sometimes, we need to see what's on the other side of the fence
to appreciate our own backyard.

My trip to Payatas was an eye-opener. My photos, hopefully will
open the eyes of those who view this gallery.

Life is beautiful in colours. But sometimes, sans the trappings and embellishments,
life is in its purest form.

Thanks to Mr. Bobby Wong for facilitating this trip. Thanks Melai Lopez, another photographer friend, for the company.
Here's Bobby's gallery of the same trip.
And more of Bobby's beautiful pictures.

And here's the link to Melai Lopez's Payatas gallery. Click here.

Most of all, thank you Fr. Aldrin for the opportunity.

i am so thoroughly impressed with your work. i don't know why i havn't seen any of this previously; however, i feel priviledged to now take part in this breathtaking beauty and statements you make. i am an artist in the US, but was raised in the philippines. this is my heart - to see art capture the philippines and its people and all its facets. the world NEEDs to know this jewel.

Hi good day! You have great shots. I would like to request if you can e-mail me pix of filipino istambays (whiners), squatters area (expanding their houses), Pinoy workers, mas marami sana yun mga tambay and mga mahilig mangotong. I'm creating a presentation to awaken minds of our fellow Filipinos. Thanks in advance and more power! By the way I'm a Pinoy Elvis Presley impersonator.

hi! i saw your site from MABUHAY magazine. looking at these beautiful shots, i could say that you're truly a gifted photographer. i see the reality in your pictures. You make us Filipinos proud.. I hope I can have photography workshops in the future.. you inspired me (even though i'm still young) x )

Now I understand why you used a wide-angle lens for this type of work! Btw, your full-color shots are even more vivid...
