Last August 13, 2011, photography enthusiast in Cebu and some different photography clubs gathered together in a photowalk in downtown Cebu. It was organized by Istorya.net Photography Club and 1up2down Photography team. The walk aim to unite the DSLR, Point and shoot and film camera users in Cebu.
Around 6:30AM, the participants are divided into groups and then the walk was officially started. I was part of the group 2 route where it was headed by the IPC. Our route were from Magellans Cross, Cathedral, Colon, Carbon then going to Plaza Independencia. Due to the scattered rain shower we did a lot of shortcuts. We planned also to go Taboan public market but we opted not to go there because of the bad weather condition. But still, the weather calm down and Mr.sun shines perfectly on a very cloudy morning.
The organizer came up a theme for us to shoot--"Simple life".
Here are some of my shots:
They call him 'grease man'. "Taong grasa"
Preparing for a good market. Looks like selling a crap but it isn't a crap. This is the real third world country business ey!
Busy Lincoln Street in Carbon Public Market at 8AM.
Banana lady on her tobacco.
My friend, boss Rafael, shopping galore on a sidewalk toilet bowl. They're on SALE!
Melted prayer. At Sto. Niño candle stand.
I just remember when I was in college, I always see this man everyday in an alley near Metro Gaisano Department store. Poor blind man. The government should help him!

This is the life at the downtown area. As time goes by, busy people walking down the streets as cars, Jeepneys and other vehicles speeding the highway--and behind these scenery, I saw different emotions, people that needs comfort and care and some things that need improvement.
Oh oh.. Let's stop! Too much drama.
Well, I'm having fun of this photowalk. I met a lot of photography enthusiasts and put them in my friends database.
After the walk, we go directly to SM City Cebu with my buddy Boss Raffy to shoot in a cosplaying activity at the entertainment center. Weeww... We still have energy for this day! Yeah!
