A fun wig vendor at Divisoria in Manila

This is my third multimedia slideshow and the second to be posted in this blog that I submitted for my follow up assignment for the Advance News Photography course subject. I posted the Jai Alai tournament at the previous post.

The idea was to present holiday street scenes that shows people engrossed in the spirit of the season. What better way to show this than to be in the heart of Manila’s bargain destination: Divisoria, a sprawling area known for its cheap goods (many are bootleg items). Almost any kind of products are sold here from food, clothes, decors and a host of bric-à-brac that the sheer variety overwhelms the senses. These are mostly imported from China and are displayed inside malls, along the streets and every nook and cranny!

On a weekend just before Christmas Day and New Year, prepare to wade through a sea of people from every walks of life and from every economic status braving it out for a bargain product that will be given away as holiday presents.

Like the previous work, I’m still familiarizing myself in assembling a multimedia slideshow that combines several audio files with the photographs. I think I still have a long way to go to finally perfect this one.
