LP52: Paboritong Litrato (Favorite Photos)

Happy anniversary to Litratong Pinoy!

inabangan. hinintay. kinuhanan ng sunod-sunod. nangawit ang aking mga braso. paborito ko ang mga ito. ito ang kwan phayao sa probinsya ng phayao, thailand. tuwing naiisip ko itong lugar na ito, naaalala ko ang kantang dandansoy
(...pauli ako sa payaw...)

i waited for each scene and took a series of shots. my arms felt tired just to wait. these are my favorite photos. this is phayao natural swamp, phayao province, northern thailand. when i think about this place, i always remember the song dandansoy (...i will go home to payaw...)

LP41: Asul (Blue)

Hayyy! Ang sirap tumingin sa langit pag ganito ang kulay. Nakakarelaks. Parang ang gaan ng loob. Maliwanag ang paligid. Lalo na pagkatapos ng madilim na araw dala ng tig-lamig. Binubusog ko ang aking mga mata --- hindi nakakasawa. Maya't maya didilim na naman ngunit meron akong litrato na titingnan hanggang sa muling lalabas ang asul na langit.

Hayyy! I love looking at the sky/heavens when it has this color. It is so relaxing. I feel so light inside. It's so bright all around. Especially after a period of darkness due to the winter season. I fill my eyes with it --- I never get tired of looking at it. Soon it will be dark again but I have this photo to remind me until the blue sky/heavens appear again.
