Reinar's photostream  

Loosely translated that title says: Where are we actually going? Those words came to mind as I took pictures around Taft Avenue and Padre Faura Street in Manila.

Last Monday, I accompanied my wife to get her NBI clearance (something like a record check for Filipino nationals). We went to the main National Bureau of Investigation office along Taft Avenue.

I decided to make a photo-day of it and take my camera along to shoot the old part of Metro Manila. This is a record of what I saw next to the Supreme Court, near the NBI office and a block away from the Manila Doctor’s Hospital.

Last August, that's right back in 2011, I was able to spend an afternoon in the classrooms and studios of Ballet Philippines at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The teachers and the students were very gracious to allow me to photograph them during their class and practice sessions. It wasn't the first time for me to photograph dancers. However, it was my first time to photograph them during a class.

One of the sessions which I joined was an expression and improvisation class. It became a learning experience for me as I started to listen to the teacher's instructions and anticipate the next moves of the dancers.

Thank you again to Ballet Philippines, the principal dancers, the teachers and the students. Looking forward to photographing all of you again.
