Litratong Pinoy #11 – Kalayaan
June 12, 2008
Malaya na ako…
Malaya na akong kumain ng gusto kong kainin, inumin ang anumang gusto kong inumin, anumang oras kong gustuhin.
Malaya na akong bumangon at mahiga ng walang nagsasabing gumising na ako o matulog na ako.
Malaya na akong magsuot ng kahit na anong gusto kong ibihis sa katawan ko (o wag magsuot ng kahit na anong saplot kung nais ko rin).
Malaya na akong panoorin ang pinaka-baduy mang palabas saTv at sinehan, makinig ng kundiman, rak o disco nung panahon ng 70s.
Malaya na ako…
… pero hinahanap-hanap pa rin kita.
Bilanggo pa rin ako ng mga ala-ala mo.
(Kuha ko ito ni C nung mga 2002. Si C ay isang mabuting kaibigan ng mahaba-haba na ring panahon. Nung nag-e-eksperimento pa lang ako ng potograpiya, sinubukan kong kunan sya at ang bata kong tyahin ng “nude”. Hindi pa digital ang camera ko nito. Pero tuwang-tuwa ako nung makita ko ang mga nakunan kong litrato. Yun nga lang, nasa Calgary ang mga negatibo ko. Kapag umuwi kami ng asawa ko sa Canada, hahanapin ko ang mga negatibo at palalakihan ko. )
I am free…
I am free to eat whatever I want to eat, drink whatever I want to drink, whatever time I want to.
I am free to rise and lay without anyone telling me it’s time to wake up or go to bed.
I am free to wear what I want to (or choose not to wear anything, for that matter.)
I am free to watch the cheesiest movie or TV show, play rock, classical or even disco songs of the 70s.
I am free……But I still long for you.
I am still a prisoner of your memories.
(This is my friend, C. We’ve been friends for quite sometime now. This was taken in 2002 when I was still trying my hand out in photography. I did some experimental nude shots of her and my very young aunt. This wasn’t even taken with a digital camera and so I was so delighted when the prints finally came out. I just have to get the negatives from Calgary once me and hubbie go there to visit my mom and dad. Might be nice to have them framed

Litratong Pinoy #10 – Pag-iisang Dibdib
June 6, 2008
Ang paru-paro at ang bulaklak, kapag nagsama nakakapagkalat ng mga punlang magiging mga bulaklak rin.
Yan ang sabi ng siyensya.
Pero maging matagumpay kaya sa pag-iisa ang bulaklak at paru-parong ito?
Kinunan nung Halloween sa Los Angeles.
The butterfly and the flower, when together could create the seeds of new flowers to come.
According to science.
But would a flower grow from the union of these flower and butterfly?
Taken at the Halloween parade in Los Angeles.

Litratong Pinoy #9: Ihip Ng Hangin
May 31, 2008
Magmula ng lumipat ako sa Maryland, pinakaaabangan ko lagi ang Preakness Celebration tuwing Mayo. Ang Preakness ay isang serye ng mga kaganapan sa palibot ng Baltimore na sineselebra ang Preakness Stakes, isa sa tatlong karera ng kabayo na kung tawagin ay Triple Crown (ang dalawa pang karera ay ang Kentucky Derby sa Louisville, Kentucky at ang Belmont Stakes sa Elmont, New York).
Ang isa sa pinakahihintay na bahagi ng selebrasyon at ang Hot Air Balloon Festival. Ang litratong ito ay kuha nung kauna-unahan kong taon sa Baltimore habang pinapalipad ang mga hot air balloons sa Oregon Ridge. Nakakamanghang pagmasdan ang mga nagliliparang lobo nun sa himpapawid.
Ever since I moved to Maryland, I had always looked forward to the Preakness Celebration held every May. It’s a series of events in Baltimore celebrating the famed Triple Crown thoroughbred race, the Preakness Stakes (the other two races of the Crown being the Kentucky Derby in Louiseville, Kentucky and the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, New York) .
One of the more awaited events during this time is the Hot Air Balloon Festival. This shot was taken during the launch of the balloons at the Oregon Ridge on my first year here in Baltimore. It was truly awesome to see all of them in the air.
