Celebrating SINULOG in Philippines

Feb.15, 2005
Olympus E-1, Olympus Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital: 1/500s f/3.5 at 14.0mm iso100

One of my very best travel photographs from the Philippines - shot right outside my house while the Cebu SINULOG Parade was rehearsing to join the Parade at the end of the street - the same street Lisa & LetLet's Family lives on.

I was getting ready to go out to the store & vist LetLet's Family, when I heard the loud bass drums pounding out on the street; I had no idea there was a Parade rehearsing that day!

I went to the window, looked outside & ran to grab the E-1...I rushed outside and found a myriad of colors & music, and slowly moved into the parade line to get this shot of the girl holding the Senior Santo Nino statue, and got a great wideangle capture.

I'll be bringing LetLet's Family a print of this image, along with their Family photos I took earlier this year when I see them next month.

A wonderfull country with beautiful people.
