Cubao Sidewalk Signs

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Sidewalk that we passed by  when  Dennis Villegas, Sidney and I crossed the pedestrian overpass in Aurora Blvd. and Cubao intersection.

This entry is the ninth installment of my Cubao Photoshoot series.

Cubao sidewalk sign
My rough translation (with added emphasis): Warning!!! Soliciting and/or pimping of commercial sex workers is against the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.

Cubao sidewalk sign
Warning Bystanders are not allowed on pedestrian overpasses. Violators will be suspected to be a thief. Just another rough translation from me.

I'm poor at translation. I want help for an exact (word-for-word) translation of those Tagalog signs above. You may write your own translation at the comment section below. Thank you very much.

Farmers Plaza Live Band Spectators

Following the Farmers Plaza Live Band Performance that I had posted a few days back, I'm posting just two photos of the live band spectators that I had photographed with Dennis Villegas and Sidney. This entry is the sixth installment of my Cubao Photoshoot series. Flash is being used in the first photograph while there was none in the second photograph. Photos were composed right from the camera so cropping would no longer be necessary.

Farmers Plaza Live Band Performance

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

After our shoot in Farmers Market, Dennis Villegas, Sidney and I proceed to the food court of Farmers Plaza. It was already past seven in the evening and a singing band already started to perform live on stage. The three of us quenched our thirst with a single mug of San Miguel to each one of us.

This entry is the fifth installment of my Cubao Photoshoot series. Close up photos in this post were taken using 300mm telephoto lens and handheld. No flash were used in the following photographs below. Photos were composed right from the camera so cropping would no longer be necessary.

Cubao Republic: Composed Right From the Light Box

Saturday, May 9, 2009

I haven't had blogged for quite some time due to hectic work schedule. I didn't even finish yet my North Cotabato Adventure series. But now that I already have my own wireless broadband at home, I am now determine to continue publishing my travels and adventures in life.

I messed up my files when I get so busy at work. To resume with my most recent series would take a tremendous effort. While I am trying to organize my North Cotabato photos, I am momentarily running this photo essay of Cubao.

One eventful night of March 24, my friends and fellow bloggers Dennis Villegas and Sidney of My Sari-Sari Store wandered around Cubao to capture noteworthy happenings that can only be witnessed after daylight turns into darkness. As Pareng Dennis puts it, Cubao assumes a different personality comes night time. If you'd been to Cubao during the daytime, the photos to be featured here would be a different and colorful Cubao of the night time.

As the title of this photo essay suggests, the photos are composed right from my digital SLR. Other than resizing (for faster web display) and +10 color saturation (for deeper color enhancement), I will avoid cropping, noise-reduction, and overly post-processing for I believe that visitors/readers/viewers of this website deserve to see what I've seen. Simply put, "what I see is what you get" (from the WYSIWYG concept).
