After the International Orange Photo Festival in Changshan, China, my work, A Ritual of Faith, will be shown in one of the nightly projections at the Mois de la Photo 2010 event in Yogyakarta, Indonesia which will happen 2 – 27 November 2010. Another Filipino, Julie Batula, will also be showing her work One Way out.

Currently ongoing at the lobby of the East Ave. Medical Center, Kasuso: Portraits of Breast Cancer Patients is a group show by volunteer photographers in support of the Philippine Breast Care Foundation, Inc. who helps indigent women afflicted with breast cancer. This is part of the ongoing Breast Care Month celebrations.

Asian News in Pictures opened last night at the THE BLOCK, 3/F SM North Edsa and I was one of the featured photographers where my work, Gagamboys, is one of six featured photo stories. One of my images from the Ritual of Faith series (below) is also included in the Singles.

This 19th September, I will be conducting a guided tour where I will talk about the exhibition, the Gagamboys photo project, and about Photojournalism to several high school campus journalists in Quezon City schools starting at 1200H until around 1800H. If you’re interested, just drop by. The exhibition will run until the 26th before transferring to another venue in Metro Manila.

THE Alex Baluyut conducted his first masterclass in documentary photography and the result is UNA, an exhibition of the works of his nine students which opened at the Manila Collective the other night. What made this interesting were the varied themes that the students did. Two works caught my eye: Julie Batula’s cockfighting story, One Way Out, with very interesting visuals and Rommel Rebollido’s Crumpled Dreams, Wrinkled Realities which offered intimate images.

The exhibition runs until 8 September at the Cubao X complex.
