Paete's Rite of the Dead, my sixth photo story in Pagtu-o
My latest photo story in Pagtu-o | Faith is now up. Paete’s Rite of the Dead documents this unique ritual in Paete, Laguna wherein an alleged 16th century wooden and jointed Santo Sepulcro, the dead Christ lying in state, undergoes a ritual that is akin to mummification rites in some tribal groups in the Cordilleras.

Coping with a Desparecido, my work that is currently on exhibition in Chobi Mela V in Dhaka, Bangladesh is now available as a downloadable free ebook. What drove me to do this one?
I was looking at Masaru Goto’s outstanding website and other than the beautiful photojournalistic work, one thing that caught my attention was his downloadable PDF version. And I thought, why not?

Making this viewable offline is, I think, important in reaching out to interested parties. Another way of promoting my work. This PDF version is A4 sized and the images are large enough to cover about 90% of the paper. It consists of select 14 images with thumbnails and captions at the end pages. The photojournalist’s statement is also included in page 2.
Compared to Masaru’s layout, mine is more visually appealing. It was prepared with Adobe InDesign CS3 with built in security features that will limit printing as well as copying/extracting images. Metadata is also filled out.
Before you download the following files, please make sure you have a PDF reader. If not, grab it at the Adobe site by clicking on the graphic at the left.
