Xenophilia
Xenophilia, which literally means 'affinity for strangers,' was a loose sequel to Monochromanila. Similarly, it features 13 random people in their usual bouts, all in high-contrast black and white.
These images were captured mostly around the cities of Pasig and Manila. That was the time when I transitioned from analogue to digital. I was still a student and didn't have much funds for a decent film stash so I mostly took pictures using my Nikon D40.
*Picture #12 is my personal favorite. I was waiting for a bus ride home in Recto, Manila when I took this picture. I was very hesitant to take out my camera especially when a stranger near me freaked me out and said, "Hoy! Bawal 'yan ha!" I'm glad the thrill was worth it because I like the composition (and the message of the photo) very much.

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.
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.
