[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We visited Intramuros in Old Manila last Saturday. It was already dark when I saw this artist. He works along one of the streets of the walled city. As you can see, he is good at drawing caricatures, portraits and even landscapres. He only had a small fluorescent bulb as a light source. It was dark and I was in a hurry, he looked at me then I hit the shutter. I was only able to take one frame. It's a little blurred but I still hope you like it.

------------------------
Intramuros. Unique in Asia, this was a European-style medieval fortified city that functioned as the seat of government from 1571 to 1898. The massive walls stretch some 4.5 kilometers, enclosing a 64-hectare area once occupied by palaces, churches, monasteries, schools and wealthy residences ("Intramuros" means "inside the walls"). Sadly, the whole city was razed to the ground by bombings conducted by American forces when they recaptured Manila from the Japanese in 1945. Today most of the walls, gates and bulwarks have been restored, affording visitors a glimpse into the past.

Hi Lorie, still this is a great photo of an artist...It takes a lot of skills to be one...Thanks for sharing! Regards, Flo

Me encanta su lugar de trabajo, con la pared llena de dibujos. Grandioso, orden/desorden como genios.

The lighting is actually working pretty good for you here. I like the misty look and the contrast of his talents are evident. Also the concave of the wall/tent adds interest. I like it....:O)

Very good lighting as you feel as though you are in the stall with him with that actual illumination. Interesting to make him blurred, but the paintings clear. He seems very pleased, but a little shy. Good human interest shot, Lorie!
