A Marian grotto (Our Lady of Lourdes) at the vicinity of Kawasan Falls in Badian, Cebu
While at Kawasan Falls in Badian, Cebu, this Marian grotto caught my attention while looking around the area. This is my second experimental shot for a series that I’m thinking of pursuing. The first study is this one.
A wonderful book featuring 100 emerging photographers selected by 10 curators
I have seen this book previously, in fact, a few years ago sold at one of the big bookstores in Metro Manila. However, I missed this one that time. Lately, I have found wonderful books at a bargain bookstore where I got my Nan Goldin and it was also the place where I bought Blink. (Photography)
Its a big book consisting of 100 up and coming photographers (circa 2002) from different styles from around the world chosen by 10 curators and gives a snapshot of the world of contemporary photography. From fashion to photojournalism. From art to digital photography, it showcases the different ideas, approaches and techniques. The curators also selected 10 writers whose work range from fiction to theory and have touched a chord with their experience.
A wonderful book that is still relevant today.
I’ll be conducting a Digital Photography Workshop at the UP Film Institute (UPFI) for four Saturdays starting 12 November. If you’re interested, do sign up at UPFI. Check out their website.
