[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a street shot of children playing on the sidewalk by the patch-up-structure which is their home. Their home is supposed to have an "eatery" (too small to be called a restaurant)on the first floor. Identified as, "Dela Cruz Eatery", the signs are usually given free by the soft drink company.

This is typical in the city of Manila where children have no place to play in their illegal "squatter" homes. The streets then become their living area and playground.

It is cropped in a square format because I am readying it to be done into a watercolor painting.

Hello Andre,

Colorful and beautiful urban scene with good subject!
Congratulations and TFS.
Sergio

Muy bella composición, además de ser una verdadera crónica visual de algunas realidades de Manila, no muy distintas que en algunos probrísimos lugares en la irónicamente rica República Argentina... Creo que es una muy buena idea el formato cuadrado y usar de base la fotografía para una acuarela...

I love the scene; it reminds me of my own childhood growing up in Barbados. When we had nothing to do we would congregate close to the local grocer, who also sold candy. If we were lucky; he would bring out some for us. I love the colours and the composition; a great taste of real life.
