September 4th [Photos]

This day particularly was one of the most productive and successful days of shooting that I had on my whole trip.

As stated in my Sept. 4 post, it took in sights that I may never see again.

Incredible views, and personality bleeding out of every corner.

The thumbnails of these pictures don't do any justice to the actual sizing and content of the photos.

So surely click on them, to enlarge. 

The view out the window of my room.
That street was a steep curved hill, with an insane blind spot.
I took to it with my skateboard.

Never again will I do something that dumb.

I had admiration to the design of these houses/condos.
Reminded me of a snow lodge town, minus the snow.

...Yet, very Asian inspired.

Sickly cat.

It was posing.

I like shooting power lines.

We went golfing.
Par 3. A little less than 120. Aim for the yellow grass.

They equip you with caddies, which was an interesting experience. They're in orange.

Pops.

Log bench.

[I love this photo, and it wasn't really planned.]

Miniature parents.

Target golf.

Alright.

That was either a monstrous house, or a normal sized clubhouse. 

Momma's approach shot.

I really hope it was a house.

Lake Taal

At first, I was bother that my camera ran this super overexposed.
But now, I don't mind it. Mainly because the silhouette is comprehend-able.
It's obvious what's happening in the photo.
[I like silhouettes.]

Getting amped for the main course.
But didn't take any pictures of the paella.
Cause I was busy slaughtering it.

7up still exists.

People's Park In The Sky; highest point in Tagaytay.
And once the house and headquarters of the Philippine President Marcos.

Photo op, of a photo op.
I call that duality.

Hollywood-Esq 

Old school GPS are called signs.

The communication tower on the right looks like a DNA strand.

Very European-ly styled amphitheater.
This turned out perfect.

I have bad vertigo.

View from the predated catwalk.

Rape hole.

People's Park In The Sky reminded me of my old Photo Field Trips in high school...
They let us roam aimlessly in pursuit of interesting subject matter to shoot.

You could literally spend a whole day at People's Park, and never run out of impeccable subject matter.
This picture reminded me of those photos I used to take.

[ Lesson 4.1: I guess I should go back to high school.]

Endless silhouettes.

Drums, my guess.

Those rows of seats look like WiFi bars.
This was the most WiFi I saw on the whole trip [8 bars].

A perfect picture.

Tower

I was looking for lens flare. But all I got was damn direct light.

I don't like dirt.

I don't think they've renovated anything.

Dirt and puddles.

I remember being hyped on my composition.

These guys are still popular and relevant.

Flea Market District

I found a small lion. 

...And proceeded to follow the it.

I bet those guys up in that window are planning to slash my pockets.

An army.

Pastels

I wonder if I was supposed to pay for this picture.

Please.
No free pictures.

The houses look like legos.

I can't seem to come up with any better caption for this, but say that I hate country music.

Self-portrait and the many different floors.

The flea market from a distance.

Pops caught a bull.

Frog purses. I think it'll be a hit.

Tagaytay City, Philippines

I know what the characters are saying.

"This dumb American thinks it says, Please Keep This Park Clean."

This wall meant to say, "please watch your step".
So seriously...
Wats it.

Me and my Dad believe these are probably still used to send/receive covert transmissions.
Real CIA shit.

Jesus Christo

Haha

Jeepney

Epic.

Less description is better for these particular photos.

Carved script.

High contrast.

At the tip of the world.

Perspective; prospective.

Lake Taal and a lot of negative space.

Bird's eye.

Look how raw Jeepneys look. It reminds me of the buses from Dawn Of The Dead.

Oh, I went to Spain too.

POEP

Diagonals
[At one point in time, these probably had national flags on them.]

I guess something important is happening.

Probably something for Travel Channel.

First of many. Trust me.

Omelets, for sure.

Cutoff tees, real hip.

Splendido Golf Community, Taal Towers.
My dad was prospective to find a place to buy or rent for whenever we return to the Philippines.
This tower stuck out like a sore thumb on the coast of Tagaytay.
So we looked around.

The plans of the community.

Floor plans of the condominiums.

Model Room 1

Model Room 2

The model rooms were modernly furnished as you can tell by the fake, but orderly peppers.

After I swooped through the models and overheard agent talk, I walked outside and the dog stole my attention.

Interested dog.
I was trying like hell to feed it.

Great dog.
Good dog.

He wasn't so friendly, or interested.

I was entertained, nonetheless.
I believe this was the first interaction I had with anything except my parents, for a couple days.

Later that night, I flew around in a helicopter and shot some overhead.
Pardon the grain, it was dark and zoomed.

I got bored of flying at dusk, so I parked the copter.
And went to sleep shortly after.
