A tricycle's window perfectly frames a woman while waiting for someone in the street near the market in Pagadian City

While waiting for the tricycle to leave for Ditaroy Falls in Pagadian City, I caught this woman waiting for someone. The view and framing was just so interesting that I took my camera with an ultrawide lens and took her photo.

At one of the relay points, I was able to take images of Marlon of Team Smart preparing for his turn to run by stretching as part of the Epic Relay 250. This was taken near the mothballed Bataan Nuclear Power Plant in Bataan.

Arvin, Team Smart, Champions, Corporate category

I was covering the Epic Relay 250 race last weekend, a grueling 250 kilometer and almost 30 hours of shooting the runners from one point to another. But really, I was more than inspired to join in this kind of race in the future.

Arvin and Eric are from two teams that I covered for a corporate sponsor and fortunately, both, had awards. It was quite tiring but fun coverage.

A minute later, during the Philippine National anthem

Yesterday was the 65th anniversary of the Douglas MacArthur landing in Talisay City, Cebu, which is my home town. There was a series of programs, speeches, song and dance as well as a reenactment of what happened in World War II. However, these ladies, especially the one at the center caught my attention.
