“I know places we can go
Where the highs won’t bring you down
No, the highs won’t hurt you there.”
—I Know Places, Lykke Li
Because I’m pretty sure you’re going to go places. Let’s cross our fingers we’ll be taking more photographs in the same place by the last quarter of this year. For now, let’s enjoy this beautiful light.

It’s been a year since the first Daylight!
Last year, I was running around Makati with one of my good friends, trying to get permits done so we would be able to push through with the first Daylight ever in Salcedo Park. Several hours later, two local government offices and a lot patience, we got the permits. It was done on impulse with only a week’s worth of planning. I still find it quite stupid, really, but it worked!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this at some point. Cheers to the guys behind all the lovely posters from the very first down to the most recent one! I didn’t even have to explain what I wanted you guys already knew! Love goes out to friends who helped me setup, from finding electric grillers to sound systems to putting up the photos during the last one. (Those pins didn’t blu tac themselves y’know!) But most of all, thank you for showing up, for letting me take your photograph and for hanging around on a lazy saturday afternoon.
One year down! This feels like a relationship getting quite serious! Haha!

A day before the event & everything still hasn’t sinked in yet.
We all still have tomorrow.
Let’s make this a beautiful ending.

There is so much badassery in this photo & I love it.
I still get that high when something as simple as this can look good. They say it’s the equipment, some say it’s the subject & a few say it’s the man or woman behind the camera, I say it’s all. The bottomline is taking a good photograph that people will look and wonder what the photographer was thinking & what the subject was thinking.
