While cleaning and scrolling through my phone gallery, I came across some photographs I captured on July 14, 2022, at the Vegetable Market in Mantalongon, Dalaguete. These photos reminded me to stay dedicated and work hard in my job. I realized how fortunate I am to have my current job, even though it can be stressful with urgent reports from my supervisors. It’s still a better situation than doing manual labor, where you have to work with your hands and stay physically active all day.

This should be an eye-opener for those who act like life is as glamorous as what they see on social media. Bad influencers often share harmful ideas, making kids think that the key to survival is baiting attention and likes on their social media platforms.

I’m happy to share my thoughts and photographs here. Sometimes, during my free time, I revisit and read my previous posts. It feels like having a diary or journal on this platform.

photography by @gohenry | Public Market We are fortunate to have technology nowadays that helps us store important memories from our daily lives. Because of my love for photography, I decided to purchase a mirrorless camera online. It’s expected to arrive between January 5 and 10, 2025, and I’m really excited! I hope everything goes smoothly, as this will be my biggest purchase of the year.
Yes, I’m really excited, and I can’t wait to share those captured moments here. That’s all for my random thoughts and ideas today. Thank you for taking the time to read!
Oh, man! Your photos made me nostalgic for my life in the Philippines. When I lived there, street photography was my favourite pastime. I loved hanging out downtown Cebu and I spent a lot of time in Moalboal market too.
Lovely shots!
I’m happy to hear that you @millycf1976 enjoy living here in the Philippines, especially in Moalboal Cebu. The southern part of Cebu offers not only stunning scenery but also warm and welcoming people. Thank you so much for appreciating street photography, especially black and white photography, where we capture emotions and the spirit of life through this timeless style.
You've said that so well!
I spent a lot of time at Carbon Market and Colon. I love the old Cebu, where everyone is industrious and doing everything they can to make a living.
I've not been anywhere else that opens up possibilities for street photography.
Have a nice weekend:)))
