The only Filipino in Chobi Mela V photo fest
Chobi Mela V International Festival of Photography invitation
Finally, after following up Tanvir Murad, I got my official invitation for my work Coping with a Desaparecido for exhibition in the prestigious Chobi Mela V International Festival of Photography. From the list of 54 photographers from 29 countries, including the likes of Munem Wasif, multiawarded photojournalist as well as the winners of the National Geographic All Roads photography program, I’m the only one from the Philippines!
Will I be attending the festival that only happens every two years and will open on 30 January 2009? As much as I want to go, that remains to be seen. I don’t have the budget, as of now, for the plane fares. I do am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that I will be able to raise the funds for it.
