The Bag Vendor.

I saw this lady selling different kinds of bags for the shoppers in the Quiapo Church Area. You can find almost anything on this side of town if you just know where to look for them. She sells the regular plastic bags and the zippered ones. Thank you very much for viewing.

Jiro, I love your work in Manila...

I wish that I could revisit the Philippines now that I have digital equipment.

The Philippines, for me, combines wonderfully interesting sights with a warm and friendly population. It is probably one of my favoite places in the world...

If things get favorable for you to visit Manila again, shoot me an email Richard and we will have a blast doing lots of photowalks all over Manila! I am cooking up 2 small projects of mine documenting 2 subjects I am very interested in. I'm just hoping that my trusty, old Nikon D70 is still up for the challenge. Thanks for taking the time to view my work.

You have caught this lady in a magnificent pose. The angles at which she has her feet positioned and the line of her left-leg in particular: the extension of her left harm holding the pole on which the bags are hanging: the turn of the head over her left shoulder : all finished off by the right hand draping over the bags on her shoulder. Just a beautiful set of lines.

And, of course, the B & W work is up to the usual standard.
