It was one of those ordinary days when I'd go out and toy with my point and shoot camera. I opted to bring this one instead of my dslr because of its size, weight, and it is less noticed by you know who.
Anyway, as I walked along the busy streets of Quiapo, the array of sidewalk vendors together with their goods make a good subject. All you have to do is to ask them politely about the shoot and most of them are more than willing to participate also.
As I continued to scout the place, taking my sweet time in framing my subjects, some vendors would heartily asked if their pictures could be taken likewise. The idea of having a camera is oftentimes associated with media practitioners and they will remark about them appearing in a medium after their picture has been taken.
In order to correct the myth, I honestly declare to them that I am just a hobbyist. But despite of my declaration, some of them will playfully pose and you just can't imagine the joy and smile in their faces the moment they'll see their framed images.
