Photos taken at Quiapo at the heart of Manila, Philippines. These are vendors and bystanders around the Quiapo Church area. Taken while I was on holidays in May, 2011, my sister Deanne, my brother Roland, my friend Vic and I went there on a rainy Sunday morning, just in time for the market scene to unfold. I was a very significant, almost spiritual, experience.
March 18, 2011 – Went to watch Ensemble Mir’s “Bulgarian Music of the 20th Century” at the Saint Mary, Our Lady of Grace Church in St. Petersburg, Florida. Directed by Matthew Thomas Caine, the ensemble presented an all-Bulgarian 20th century music as part of the Saint Mary Church’s Winter Concert Series. The repertoire included works by Stefan Mutachiev, Claude Debussy and Todor Popov.
If you have nothing else to do on Sundays, there is this hidden paradise in Tampa called the Wat Mongkolratanaram in Tampa. This is a Thai Buddhist temple. It’s not that you should attend services if you’re a Buddhist but they have a food fest held every Sunday where you can eat all the Thai food you can eat at really cheap prices. What’s more striking is the Temple that was built there. It’s like all of a sudden you’re not in the US!
Photos I took around the old Dali Museum area in St. Petersburg, Florida. The new museum has been built around the area but I still have to visit it. I heard it is a magnificent place, both in its design and construction. If you are in the St. Petersburg area, don’t miss to visit this museum!
“Canine Love” – A photo composition using my doggies, Tootsie and G-mo, edited with Adobe Photoshop.
Photos of Tootsie and G-mo, our two little canine children. Tootsie is a Dachshund and G-mo is a Chihuahua – Jack Russell mix. I take a photo of them really often wherever we go and then tweak their photos later to make really interesting images. I love them both!
