That's a beautiful church, Lindale. (I'm assuming it's a church...)

the history of that photo

An old Anglican church built during the American colonization period in the Cordillera area (around the 1900s I believe). Those Anglo-American missionaries succeeded in less than twenty years where the Spaniards failed for three hundred years--Christianizing the area. That is in Sagada, Mt. Province, way up in in the northern mountains of the Philippines, where the people are believed to be dogeaters and savage head-hunters (true, in a sense). Beside the church is the Anglican graveyard, and opposite that is the very traditional graveyard of the Igorots (hollow tree-trunks as sarcophagi, which hang very gracefully on the mountain cliffs), which thankfully the Anglo-Ams did not destroy. Well, if they did, the Igorots would have hunted their heads like they did the Spanish.

Oh by the way, that was taken two or three years ago, so maybe the wave of modernization has more or less changed the area... I hope not.

I thought I'd join you so you won't feel so alone, Lindale. It's just the problem of finding a decent picture. I'm dashingly handsome of course, but I can't seem to find a photographer good enough to capture it on film. Or perhaps I need a new camera.

Don't know who runs this show but I attached a few pics of various size.. er.. take your pick!

Dashingly handsome, eh? I've never found someone here in BD that... fits my taste when it comes to the face-value. Well, the family always thought I have a very weird taste for boyfriends and crushes; this must be another manifestation. peace man!

Just take it as a compliment from someone who thinks Edward Scissorhands-Johnny Depp is cute and who likes to have crushes on nerdy Physics professors. *sighs*

Just a thought though: 'tmight be better for your last photo to have been shot if the sun wasn't too high or something.

So you're saying I'd look better without light? Hey now, that's just mean!

Noooo!

My dad's a photographer, see, and he teaches me whenever I get the time. I think he'd say that the camera needed filter. Yes, that's it, that's what I was thinking a while ago. Camera filters. Damn English skills.
