I recently went to the Philippines to see the start of the New Year surrounded by family.  Both my mother’s side and my father’s side of the family held respective reunion celebrations (since having everyone together trends towards a once-in-a-decade sort of thing).  As a member of a family already ripe with photographers (both professional and amateur), there were a lot of times when my backpack loaded with photography equipment and my constant need to get film handchecked while we hopped from airport to airport felt needlessly redundant and sometimes discouraging.  Finally getting to see the results, however, I’m glad I did it.  The work I’ll be uploading over the next few weeks is from that trip.
