Holy Week

Some snap shots of how Filipinos celebrate Holy Week in the Philippines…

Procession
During Good Friday, religious images on giant flower-adorned floats are paraded through the streets until they reach the town church.

My first film: Fujicolor C200

Armed with my dad’s vintage camera, I went to Marikina Riverbanks for a test shoot. I remember the camera wasn’t CLA yet (cleaned, lubricated and adjusted) so I was looking at my subject with a very dirty lens, no meter indicator & no idea what the fudge-cake I was doing. Running the camera & film to a road test it seems.
