Philippine Rice is Nice

Images of rice farming that I took during a vacation in June and July of 2004 and in the same months in 2007. Most images are from the region between Nueva Vizcaya (near Bagabag and Solano), Banaue, and Sagada. For some of the of the photos I had to wade in the rice paddies which you can see from one photo, are quite muddy (They also reportedly contain poisonous snakes, but I didn't see any and I didn't know that at the time. What do they say? What you don't know CAN hurt you?

Hi Kayakbiker,

We are a government organization in the Philippines that conducts research on development issues. We will soon be releasing a book called "Rice in the Filipino Way of Life." May we know if we could some of the images in your "Philippine Rice is Nice" website? They're really amazing and would look excellent on the cover. We sincerely hope you would grant us permission to use those images.

Would really appreciate your response. I can be contacted at ssheila@mail.pids.gov.ph (please send copy to sheilasiar@yahoo.com).

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Best,

These pictures are beautiful. My family and I have just seen the Banaue Rice Terraces and had met the natives. It is heart warming to see and reflect my heritage through these pictures. Thank you again. Great work!

N,

I am looking for an image for a science exhibition on rice at the New York Botanical Garden and really like yours of the woman eating rice pudding. I would like to ask you permission to use this image in a short video clip that will be played at the exhibition. Please let me know.

If Amorsolo became a photographer, you would be it. You really captured the colors and the charm of Philippine rural life. Ang ganda ng Pilipinas!
