I know this is an odd choice for a photo, but it was the first
thing that really struck me photographically upon arriving at
my humble abode in Metro Manila. On the ride from the airport
to my Manila residence, I was struck at how much the city reminded
me of Bangkok. The lights, the traffic, the smells...it all looked so
familiar. But I would soon find this to be a different, and intoxicating
city. The image above, to me, represents what Metro Manila is. A
compelling blend of the old, and new. Of prosperity, and urban decay.
