Banig

Banig, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

Ang dalawang bagay sa litratong ito ay kapwa likhang Pinoy. Ang nasa gitna ay isang pangtakip sa lamesa na ginawa sa pamamagitan ng sining ng gantsilyo. Napapaligiran ito ng dalawang patungan ng plato na hinabi. Kung papansining maigi, makikita ang paulit-ulit na disenyong apat na kanto.

The two objects in this photograph are both Philippine made. In the center is a tablecloth made using the art of crochet. It is flanked by two woven placemats. If examined closely, the recurring pattern of a square is visible.

Taken April 2008 at Sitio Remedios in Ilocos

Glass Eyed E.T.

Glass Eyed ET, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

I had no idea I captured E.T. on film until I looked at the big picture. I was pleasantly surprised to find out I did.

Lesson learned: Always look closely. Be ready to be surprised.

Taken April 2008 at Rustans, Shangri-La Plaza.

When we hear the word spring, more often than not we think about the season. However, where I am only has two seasons and that does not include spring. This is spring in my part of the world.
