The Project So Far
I typed a lot last night and by that I do mean a lot. I typed it in notepad so I'd just have to copy paste it later on. But why did my mom have to talk on the phone so long? WHY!? So I fell asleep (it was around 10:30pm then). When I woke up this morning my computer was already shut down. Now I lost all those unsaved stuff I wrote. Ahhhhrrgggggg. My devil of a little b rother probably turned off all the switches last night.
So I typed about the Commonwealth project Dixi and I are doing. It has evolved into a collection of different places instead. This new project is going to be a photo collection/photo essay to be bundled into a book we're hoping to publish. Annie has recently been added to the list of interested people... her mom works at National Book Development and has a list of printers and publishers. I could probably use that list. She told me we could probably get sponsors as well.
I know we're 15-17 year old kids but for some reason I know that this COULD work. If only we actually do something about it. It'd be one heck of bonus point for US college admissions as well hehehe
These are the places...
+ Rizal Park/Luneta - we're thinking of including break water as well and possibly UN Avenue (and the nearby avenues).
+ Divisoria - it's certainly NOT Greenhills shopping center and is a whoel lot different from it. We went there to buy beads and other stuff for an accessories business we're starting in school for our economics class and yeah, it was fun. I got obsessed with a certain three in the small plaza with Bonifacio's statue while waiting for Kla's driver (who got lost) to fetch us. It was a pretty tree. Yeah.
+ Sta. Clara Church - inside and outside where there are kids selling sampaguita and the like.
+ Gas stations along Commonwelath Ave.
+ Intramuros
These places (except for inside Sta. Clara, Luneta and Intramuros) may generally come across as filthy. But I see beauty in how real it is. It's hard to explain but that's what I wish to capture with my photography and share with everybody else. It may be common place but I have a feeling that there is still need to get it out to public...not that there's a large portion of the society which is unaware. I cannot gauge how large or small it is, but there's that portion of the society.
Please tell me what you think and if you have any insights to share, suggestions, whatever constructive or not, I'll take it. Post a comment (but please include you're e-mail address or some such) or just e-mail me at amlcortez[at]hotmail.com
