Annual fiesta celebration at the National Shrine and Parish of Our Lady of Fatima. Theme: "Pistang Pinoy" (Filipino Fiesta).

My very first photographic assignment after buying my Sony DSC-R1 camera just 9 days before. Since this was my first time to own a digital
camera I didn't realize at once that the digital date was left embossed on the prints. This was also the day that the first typhoon to hit
the country arrived! Hence the occassional mist, gust of wind, and slight drizzle as shown in some of the shots (God's blessing?). :-)
