OLLO Photography - Wedding Photography in Dallas

I spent a few days in Manila, Philippines for a conference. Usually my business trips do not allow for much time to do photography, but this time I had a whole free day on arrival. For that occasion, I took my trusted camera with me and went around sleepy Intramuros for a few hours. The local population was glued to their TV screens: ironically, their boxing champion/national hero was  fighting a contender in Dallas, TX - of all places! The city was empty, the crime rate was at the lowest as all the thugs were watiching boxing. I enjoyed my solo walk!

First, the most notable sight of Metro Manila: the Jeepney. Those painted Jeep based mini-buses roam the city. They are wild!! Then, there are horse-drawn carriages.. less common than jeepneys, but still found everywhere.

Then, a little bit of history... A monument to Rizal, a national hero, featuring his execution by a firing squad. And a gigantic statue of some other hero at the far end of the landscaped park in central Manila.

A short walk around Intramuros under the blazing tropical sun. (Remember, no people in the streets - everybody watching the boxing match!)

And finally, my presonal favorite: a quick snapshot taken out of the bus window, late in the evening. Real life in Manila!

So, there were no weddings or engagements this month - all of my photography was focused on travel, and unfortunately I did not have much time to shoot. But I am making up for it -  I have a 3 weddings coming up, and a couple of engagement sessions - I'm excited!
