Whilst We Wait

Whilst We Wait is a Philippine-based photo-project whose goal is to visualize the future through a heterogeneous analogue-mixture of film photographs and handwritten letters with vivid virtues of anticipation, perspective and waiting. WWW is founded by Erin Emocling and inspired by The Art of Waiting.

Features and Press:
Inquirer.Net, Lomography Magazine 1 2 3,
Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Young Star

Monochromanila

Monochromanila was my first take on Project 52, a Tumblr-famous thing back in 2010 wherein one takes, picks, and posts a special photo once a week for an entire year. I was living in an apartment in Manila City at that time so I thought of documenting the life of random strangers on the streets.

As an amateur attempt on street photography, I used a Nikon D40, my first and only digital SLR. I post-processed the images using Adobe Photoshop to obtain a gritty, black and white effect. Thus, the series' name. The cat-eyeglasses logo was custom-made for me by my good friend, Justine.

01. A fish seller at Vicente Cruz wet market

02. A Yakult vendor at Vicente Cruz market

03. A soy bean curd vendor along Fajardo Street

04. A homeless woman along España Blvd.

05. Slipper vendors along Lacson Ave.

06. A homeless man along España Blvd.

07. A kid playing by himself at Quiapo's underpass

08. A man who sells "dirty" ice cream

09. Rag sellers along Magsaysay Blvd. (taken in a taxi)

10. A homeless man along Pureza

11. A homeless woman in Rizal Park

12. A homeless man along España Blvd.

13. A homeless man along Recto Blvd.


Sadly, I was only religious with the series for the 13 weeks. I am planning to restart this project (using the same name) and then use 35mm films instead. Manila City will always be in my heart.
