Unicorns, fairies, elves, big foot, angels. Some people don't believe in them. But I do. Sometimes I even manage to capture some on film. Clever they are too... Disguised as humans, but they don't fool me!

During my weekend hike I happened upon this fellow hiding in a crevice of a rock. It was very bright noon sun and he was completely in the shadow. Just the day before I had been reading about using the flash in daylight. So I tried that here (just the on-camera flash) and it worked beautifully, even causing a nice reflection in his eyes.

Love one another as I have loved you
Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Charity, Agoo, La Union

A little over a week ago, on our way back from a trip to Baguio city, we made a detour to go to Agoo, so my sister-in-law Vivian could visit her children. They had not seen each other in a few months. We all met close to this beautiful church and had lunch next doors at Jollibee. On this Mother's Day, this picture is for all the mothers in my family and especially for Vivian.

souvenirs market in Mines View Park, Baguio, Philippines

Once in a while it just happens I capture a surprising or funny expression while taking street shots. Most of the time I pretty much shoot from the hip while walking, without looking at my camera and without any composition or subject in mind. So when I come home and view the pictures on my laptop I often see things I had not noticed when I was there at the scene of the photograph.

I'm in the Philippines now and it gets dark surprisingly early, before 6:30 PM already. So there's still lots of activity on the streets when night falls. Unfortunately the temperature doesn't fall with it... it's hot! Still, at night it's a bit more bearable without the merciless sun and kids come out to play in the local basketball court.

"Passion burns down every branch of exhaustion.
Passion is the supreme alchemical elixir and renews all things.
No one can grow exhausted when passion is born
So don't sigh heavily, your brow bleak with boredom and cynicism and despair.
Look for passion! Passion! Passion! Passion!"
 
"Futile solutions deceive the force of passion.
They are banded to extort money through lies
Marshy and stagnant water is no cure for thirst.
No matter how limpid and delicious it might look,
it will only stop and prevent you from looking for fresh rivers
that could feed and make flourish a hundred gardens.
...So run my friends, run fast and furious from all false solutions.
Let divine passion triumph, and rebirth you in yourself."
