It was supposed to be a sunny day, but a slight change in the weather made the sky gloomy and drench us for a little while, alas all plans have gone to waste , but fortunately after 30 minutes the sky open up and shed some light.

The Location was at Fort Santiago located at the heart of Intramuros Manila, one of the oldest fortifications, it has been built, repaired and destroyed a couple of times. In 1950 it was declared as Shrine of Freedom. This was my first attempt to photography, or anything related to it, all I have is my drive to try this newfound interest and my trusty film camera (Nikon FM 10) (old school).

After finishing my first roll of film, went on to get it developed, I had the option of having the negative scanned or printed, I opted to have it printed in linen at first I thought to have it on matte, but alas, I said to myself why not try linen and so I did. The prints where amazing, what I meant was the prints not the shots altogether, (hahaha) there’s richness in the linen. Though there’s one big drawback when I scanned the prints you can visibly see the texture of the print in the digital image, and so a lesson learned in this experience.
