Blast from the Past I – Nikon S10 photos, Philippines.

Nikon S10
The Nikon 10 was a small sensor folding camera that was compact and pocketable. It had a 38-380 equivalent zoom. Could take some good shots in good light but faired very poorly in low light which was any ISO above 200.

It has been a wild year and a wild summer.   Monsoon season here in the Philippines and it was a wet one.  Hoping it will pass soon.  Also my car is permanently retired for now.  So now wheels making it harder to get out and about.

The other day I go this idea to go through all my Philippine photos shot since 2005, my first trip to the Philippines.  Since that time I have taken photos with 7 different cameras in June 2005, October 2006-2007 and since November 2015.  So I have decided to go through my photos sorted by camera and post shots taken.  During the year I worked here I was a Fraud and Compliance Manager for a Customer Service Company with several call centers in the Philippines.   I worked a schedule that sinked with the US Corporate office so effectively I went to work in the evening, and returned home the next morning.  Sometimes my only photo ops where when riding in the Company Van taking me to and from work.   So while some of the photos may have been on my weekends off, most were taken from a moving vehicle.

Below are photos I took with the Nikon S10.

In many parts of the Philippines you can find shanty areas. They often look worse then they are but are the working poor.

Day Fades into Night…

As the day fades into night, the busy waters grow silent and banca boats rest upon the shore.  It is not an ending though, only  a pause, for the sunset heralds what is to come.  Soon  the night will take on a life of its own as music, laughter, and celebration ring out across the expanse.   Day into night.  Night into day.  Both mirrors of each other, only the expression evolves.  Life continues, a constant song of change.   – Kuya David
