[Postcards from Manila] #303 Jump for Joy

[Bobby Wong Jr.]

Unless I win the lottery, you're unlikely to see me jump like that.

But in barrangay Barra in Roxas City, kids were more than happy to oblige. It's a make-shift community that we had to drive through to get to the sunset coast. Once there, we were surrounded by kids wondering what we were up to. What better way to get them out of our landscape compositions than to make them our focal point? Enjoy.

(Pixel-peepers: Twilight is essentially too dark to be taking photographs. The landscape lacks form and detail. And you likely will need a sturdy tripod. But if you can find something that stands out, like an interesting foreground or a silhouette, it may just be worth your while.)

But wait, there's more...

For those who've inquired about buying prints of my postcards, you may purchase them directly from master printmaker Arnel Murillo (murill...@yahoo.com), one of the country's foremost fine-art printmakers.  Arnel uses archival inks and museum-grade paper to ensure his prints will not fade. You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country. But if you feel generous, help me uplift the lives of the Children of Payatas.  No donation is too big or too small. Get in touch with Fr. Aldrin Suan at aldri...@yahoo.com of the Vincentian Missionaries in the Philippines. As always, thanks and enjoy.)
