PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIQUES & WORKSHOPS
Manila is a chaotic city, with a lot of poverty, pollution and great people. I like Manila the way it is, with its roosters, its churches, its children playing in the streets, its chaos, its devotees, its street parties, its transport, the joy of the people. I like Manila and I would say that I like it a lot, that's why I go whenever I can and that's why I have to say that I am connected to Manila. That's Manila Connection.

The photographer who was waiting to see if the prisoners would escape from the prison
I had to leave because instead of them going out, I was going in myself.
