Kids in Laguna Province, 2003

April 26, 2003: Laguna, Philippines
Olympus E-10: 1/100s f/2.8 at 20.0mm iso80 with Flash

An early image from my very first trip to Philippines, where I was in town to shoot local furniture pictures for a friend of mine, and during a break from shooting I went outside and was befriended by the local children who welcomed me with their Families.

The images I shot that day of the children & their Families inspired me to develop my current style of informal street shooting that I continue to this day, and that also lets me continue to help raise awareness of the poor children in-need that I came to know & to help on that trip, and every trip since then.

Thanks for reading today,
