“One Day in the City: Pasay” Opening Night

A few months back, I was informed that I will be part of a select few AB Photography students from DLS-CSB who will be exhibiting their works at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. Also, I was told that we will be featuring Pasay City. Then and there, I knew, we will be doing mostly street photography and photojournalism - two fields I’ve never touched before.

We were given 24 hours to shoot the photos we will be showcasing in this exhibit. Being the inexperienced girl that I am, I mostly shot portraits and obscure things I found on the road. Knowing that the director of the Met himself will be picking the final three photos, I really thought that not even one photo will be chosen. Luckily, I was wrong. He even loved one photo enough that he included it on the official online invite. Heeee~ *dies* ; w ;

So, enough talk and onto the photos!

Of course, first picture of the night should be… MYSELF! Lololol. This is me, before the exhibit opens. So anxious!

Rush-printed some business cards for the opening night of One Day in the City: Pasay, an exhibit which will be held at the Metropolitan Museum on Thursday - in which I am part of. My brother and my boyfriend got a bit weirded out when they initially saw my cards. I guess they were expecting the usual photographer business card - one with a pretty photograph in front.

I don’t know. There’s something mysterious and appealing regarding this photo that I took of Winter.

Maybe because it speaks so much of my current venture…

Metempsychosis. Rebirth.
