Photo walk; A walk to REMEMBER

Everyday we walk, from a distance which we started to step our feet towards us. Sometimes, we walk because we want to place ourselves to the places we want to be with, and also we walk back and forth because we excite our neurons to helps us to think. 

But, this time. I, with my fellow classmates at La Verdad Christian College. We walk along the roads of Manila, particularly to the ancient protection built for us to protect from subjugators. (i.e. the Ancient wall of Intramuros). 

But before on that particular activity. There are some things that are for me, are surely a thing to be remembered in the cause of its first occurs on me. When I am on the journey contained by a Public Utility Jeep that the destination is to MRT Hi-Way at Quezon Avenue, there is a shocking incident that triggers our blood to circulate rapidly. It is because there is a person who snatched the cellphone of one of the passengers of the said Jeep. That passenger is not that too far from me, there is an interval of somehow three to four passengers from her to me. What he did (the Snatcher) is look like it is easy for him, he easily grab the cellphone of the women and cross the roads of Luzon Ave. 

To forget that incident, I use to enjoy myself when we started to walk along the roads of Manila started from our rendezvous point. At first, our head of the said activity, Director Dominic Meily grouped us to the photographers that is with us on that activity under Photoville International.
And the photographer that is grouped with us is Mr. Rodel Lumiares that will guide us to capture moments along the streets. 

As stated earlier, we stepped our feet along the barracks of the walls of Intramuros. As we trek on the walls, I suddenly appreciates the history of the Philippines. Because, of the ambiance of that place, is so very historic. Starting from the descriptions of the things along Intramuros, up to the Guards and the vehicles of that particular place of Manila. And also the moments that I captured using the DSLR of Mr. Lumiares. During the point of when I capturing the events, I suddenly think that in any places, there are variety of stories of lives are hidden. For me, Photography is not about taking pictures of anything at anytime, is the medium used to up-bring the hidden stories beyond what the lens of the camera is sighted.
